Can't believe what I'm listening to. There is absolute no substance in this so far.

[Matheen]

Some of the points raised are true - e.g. Gurdwara violence and dodgy finances. The stuff about militancy was ridiculous though.

I'm surprised that the Gurdwaras implicated haven't said anything.

(Is it me or was it different to last week's edition?)

I agree. It's Gurdwara politics, let them be. But linking dodgy finances to 'militant' funding is OTT. Who says it can't just be corruption? People stealing the money etc. It happens at our Gurdwara unfortunately.

They were merely linking Gurdwara politics to terrorism for the majority of the 40mins it was on for. Complete non-story.

A PROTEST WILL ONLY GIVE THE PROGRAM MORE PUBLICITY. MOST PEOPLE DIDNT EVEN LISTEN TO IT. A PROTEST WILL ONLY MAKE IT MORE PUBLIC.

100% correct. Hopefully the Sangat will think with their heads and don't get mislead into the few glory seekers who no doubt are plotting a placard protest as we speak. There is an articulate written demonstration required here in order to counter the assumption that the Sikh political voice is incoherent, mumbled, weak and non-existent.
