Fraudster Now Presenter

[rinku_sikh]

Sikh Channel has recently “acquired” a new presenter in Balbir Singh Sandhu.

I was wondering what sort of vetting goes on by the Sikh Channel when bringing in new presenters (volunteers or employees)? This guy is as dodgy as can be and it is disturbing to see him presenting on what is the number one Sikh Channel. He should not be representing the Sikh Channel and is certainly not a Sikh in the true sense!

In case you don’t know about his history check out the links below. He is a Ex-Magistrate Fraudster who has been jailed for 18 months.

Personally whenever he has been on I have had to change the channel as I cannot bear to watch such a fraudulent and fake person represent Sikhi.

To their advantage, Sikh Channel have some excellent presenters but this guy should not be one of them.

Does someone who makes one mistake deserve to be given a second chance? That's the question here. In the eyes of the law he has paid price to society. If he is Amritdhari and done pesh in front the Panj pyare and been given tankhah then what's wrong with his presenting on Sikh channel. He is actively making an effort to rehabilitate himself and he should be commended for that.

Fair enough if has gone in front of panj and done pesh - but to have him present on thE sikh channel is just utter MADNESS.What and how low can we ever become?

Sikh channel i'm sure are probably not aware - but please sikh channel sack this guy immediately - you don't want to tarnish your own reputation by having such bigots present on sikh issues. If you don't then it sums up our own affairs and why we as sikh are never gettign anywhere as we have lost the authentic soch which can propel us to higher planes
