So despite the very clear hukumnama from akal Takht sahib that Gurdwara owned properties including halls are not to be used for any purpose which is not Gurmat related. We have Gurdwaras that continue to host meat at alcohol parties. The latest news is that there is planning permission submitted for a party hall which they are disguising as a conference , sports and community centre adjacent to Leamington and Warwick Gurdwara , the application apparently states that Gurdwara parking spaces will be used by this new venture. The hall is a venture by a former commitee member of the Gurdwara. This Gurdwara also still carries out sham interfaith anand karaj ceremonies. https://www.sikh24.com/2016/08/31/leamington-spa-gurdwara-committee-faces-wrath-of-sikh-sangat-after-proposed-party-hall-plans/#.V9Lz7cvTXqA Number 2 , Ramgarhia Gurdwara , Graham street , Birmingham previously used to host meat and alcohol parties in their hall next door to the Gurdwara which was called Jassa Singh Ramgarhia hall, following protests and confirmation of the hukumnama from Akal Takht which was presented to the committee they stopped allowing meat and alcohol at the hall since 2010. However , the Gurdwara commitee is trying to reinstate meat and alcohol parties at the hall stating that they are not getting any bookings and are not making income from the hall. They have written to their members asking them to vote on reinstating alcohol and meat parties at the hall see attached letter.
