What are they propagating?

[SunSingh]

These people challenge the very basic principles of Sikh dharm. Here is an example from Sikh Bulliten, a newsletter of Singh Sabha International:

"Now, look at the doings of Rehat Maryada Committee, a

body of leading 25 Sikhs, set up by the Sharomani

Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee ( SGPC) in 1931, and

assisted by various set ups including Deras, Thaths,

Tikanas, etc. Without an iota of evidence, the Committee in

1936 introduced 5 banis, including Jap and Chaupai from

the so-called Dasam Granth as a compromise. All the

people present here, including you and me, have undergone

this baptism of 5 banis which historically has no basis,

whatsoever. This has unnecessarily created a raucous about

the relevance or otherwise of the so-called Dasam Granth.

If such an issue had come up before the Singh Sabha headed

by Prof. Gurmukh Singh, the decision would have been in

the adverse. The Rehat Maryada Committee should have

been firm. Meanwhile in 1935, Bhai Vir Singh erroneously

nodded his head at the identification of Hemkunt Sahib in

Uttaranchal Pradesh as the site wherein Guru Gobind Singh

had performed penances in his previous birth. This,

unnecessarily, helped to create another centre of pilgrimage

for the Sikhs, and also falsify Guru Gobind Singh himself

who swears to be a successor of Guru Nanak. We must

understand that this is another bipran ki reet, for us."
