Sikhs thrash 'preachers' at gurdwara

Derogatory comments against Guru Govind Singh angers group; FIR lodged

The historical Sukh Singh Mehtab Singh Gurdwara of Hanumangarh town turned into a battleground when a group of preachers allegedly made derogatory statement against Guru Govind Singh, the 10th guru of Sikhs. The incident took place during the morning prayer on Monday when five visiting speakers used foul language against the Sikh guru following which the sangat, a congregation of Sikh community, beat up four preachers, while one slipped into the crowd.

They were then handed over to the police. Hanumangarh police lodged an FIR on charges of disturbing public peace.

Informing the media, acting superintendent of Hanumangarh police Yadram Fasal said that all the four persons were preachers of another sect among the Sikh community led by one Maharaj Ashutosh of Punjab. Police also recovered pamphlets, CDs, DVDs and other printed material on the teachings of Maharaj Ashutosh from the car, in which arrested were travelling.

The SP said that the arrested were identified as Jaskaran Singh of Abohar, Satveer Singh of Nukera, Gurmel Singh of Kili (Fareedkot) and Gurcharan Singh of Kapurthala. The fifth accused was reportedly a Punjab police havaldar Ranjit Singh.

Kuldeep Singh, the spokesperson of Eknoor Khalasa Fauj Hanumnagarh, said that the five accused reached the Gurudwara in their car in the disguise of preachers of Sikh religion. They claimed to be associated with the Delhi Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee and stated that they wished to preach in the morning meeting.

"They were allowed to address the sangat at 5am in the morning. However, before concluding their speech, they started speaking against Guru Govind Singh and his teachings such as compulsory wear of kripan and kada. The listeners, mostly the women, objected to this," Singh said.

After this the arrested introduced themselves as followers of the Maharaj Ashutosh and suggested that he himself was a messenger of the 10th Guru. On this, the sangat got enraged and beat them up and damaged their car, the managers of the Gurdwara said.

Sant Ranjit Singh Jee has been mentioning in his diwans as to how Ashutosh buys out and recruits knowledgeable but underpaid Sikh parchariks to do his Parchaar in Gurdwarae. Excellent that Sikh Sangat in India is waking up and taking a stand against this.
