I just want to bring attention to some information I was sent by the police regarding the grafitti on the wall which led some people to think that a gang (LFC) was responsible for the arson attack. Below is the reply from the inspector investigating the attack.

[Mr Singh,

Thank you for your e-mail.

The graffiti on a nearby shop shutter was highlighted early in he investigation. Information from local shopkeepers and members of the public confirmed that the graffiti had been there since July 2008. Enquiries revealed that it apparently related to an incident involving school books being burnt by local pupils finishing school that year.

The graffiti was examined by a senior forensic practioner, who confirmed that the graffiti had been there for an extended length of time. This information has been previously been explained at meetings with the Sikh Community.

Please be assured that we continue to put a lot of time and effort into this investigation. Please do not believe some of the things written on the internet regarding the police not treating this seriously etc. We do understand the significance of this fire for the Sikh Community.

Regards,

Howard Way]

So according to this information, the grafitti by this gang was not related to the Gurdwara attack afterall. Has anyone else got any updates on the investigation?

police investigated and could not find anything, and declared the investigation officially closed.

well **** that. It aint closed.

Sikhs need to set up their own independant public inquiry into this.

There needs to be a meeting. A respectable sikh needs to be selected to write up all the findings.

Then sikhs need to look at all the findings and determine some conclusions as to who did this.

Theres a "Iraq war" inquiry set up by public with an appointed civil servant to publish his findings.

So why cant sikhs set up their own inquiry into the "BOW ATTACK".

But we need a Sikh body to officially back the inquiry.

If sikhs are in support of this then lets call a meeting to discuss this. We can also request the police to release all their findings relating to the attack for an independant sikh public inquiry.

its fast approaching the year anniversary and the culprits still roam free.

I remember when it happened in march, we were all told to shuttup and let the police do their jobs and wait for their findings. Well we're at that point now. we're none the wiser. Time for sikhs to get to the bottom of it ourselves?

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
