London (KP) – On Thursday 12th April 2007, Himmat Sohi, President of Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Southall, turned his back to Sri Akal Takht Sahib’s Hukamnama by attending an event which honoured one of founding fathers of the RSS. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in collaboration with Hindu organisations in the UK organised an event to honour the birth anniversary and life achievements of Madhavrao Sadashivrao Golwalkar, the second “sarsanghchalak” (leader) of the RSS, who is also known as “the brain of the RSS”. The event was held at the Avait Cultural Centre in Wembly.

The President of Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Southall, joined the leaders of Shri Kutch Satsang, Swaminarayan Mandir, National Council of Hindu Temples, Hindu Forum of Britain, ISKCON-Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hindu Council of UK, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (UK), National Congress of Gujarati Organisations (UK) and Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (UK), who all spoke after one another to praise and honour to Golwalkar, who was revered by his supporters as “Shri Guruji”.

Ramesh Kallidai, general secretary and vice president of the Hindu Forum of Britain and Hindu Aid, spoke that the expansion of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was one of Golwalkar’s greatest achievements as it promoted Hindutva (the ideology of Hindu nationalism). He also quoted Indira Gandhi praising Golkar for his personality and the intensity of his convictions.

Suresh Soni, the general secretary of the RSS, gave the concluding speech about how Golwalkar had sacrificed his life in thinking about and acting on how to awaken the Hindu society. He said, “Shri Guruji and the RSS sought to unite, organise and create assertive Hindus”.

Sohi, lit a diva (oil lantern) in the honour of the memory of the RSS leader and spoke that the best way to pay tribute to “Shri Guruji” was to work hard for Hindu-Sikh unity. The irony of Mr. Sohi’s tribute is that the RSS believes and propagates that Sikhs are Hindus and that Sikhs are not a separate religion, identity, nation or ethnicity.

The RSS, is a rightwing Hindu nationalist organisation that hopes to attack the Sikh faith and lead to its eventual assimilation, along with India’s other minority communities. The RSS have made inflammatory speeches attacking Sikh ideology, propagated a distorted view of Sikh history, influenced distortions of the Sikh religion in school textbooks in India, produced literature attacking the Sikh religion literature, and has an agenda to infiltrate Sikh institutions and politics. Responding to the attacks and insults of the RSS, on July 23rd 2004 and August 11th 2006, Sri Akal Takht Sahib issued a Hukamnama (edict) that banned the RSS from participating in any Panthic functions and asked the Sikh Nation to boycott the RSS and its organized programs.

How can anyone claiming to be a Sikh pay tribute to a founder of an organisation that has insulted the Sikh Gurus, dishonoured the martyrs of Sikh history and distorted our religion? Mr. Sohi has hurt the sentiments of the worldwide Sikh Sangat and has shown allegiance with those who work to attack and destroy the Sikh Panth.

In September 2006 Panthic Weekly exposed how Sohi had allowed beadbi to take placed by a Bollywood crew at Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Park Avenue, Southall. Later, he apologised to the Sangat for his gross neglect of the sanctity of the Gurdwara premises.

Himmat Sohi also has STRONG relations with a former infamous Vice - President of one of Birmingham's biggest Gurdwara.
