Monday, October, 29 2012 - 10:58

NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has been cautioned by Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde against revival of terrorism in the state.

Badal had attended a meeting with the Home Minister while on his visit to New Delhi.

Security agencies, after an assessment of the situation in Punjab have warned of a surge in the radical elements once again in the state.

As per the sources, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Home Minister have been informed by the intelligence agencies of the efforts by radicals in the European countries to revive terrorism in the state. The radicals are reportedly being provided help by the neighbouring Pakistan.

There are numerous sites on the internet which are initiating recruitment drives for militant groups for achievement of Khalistan.

Radical talk in Punjab a worry for intelligence agencies

Ajay Banerjee/TNS

New Delhi, October 28

The Central intelligence agencies are worried over the developments in Punjab in the recent months coupled with radical thoughts being spread by foreign-based pro-Khalistan elements. The stance taken by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in allowing a memorial for Operation Bluestar and the subsequent developments has led to suggestions from the top echelons that Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal will have to take a tough political call.

Sources in the government confirmed to The Tribune that the UPA’s top hierarchy, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, has been apprised about the assessment in Punjab and also the stream of thoughts being perpetuated from abroad through the Internet.

The UPA’s top bosses have been told that some plain speaking is required between the Centre, Punjab and all the agencies controlling the law and order and intelligence gathering agencies. For long, the successive governments at the Centre have considered Badal as a moderate and amenable Sikh leader. Sources said the top brass of the Punjab Police led by DGP Sumedh Saini has been in the forefront of the fight against militancy and is fully capable of curbing any trouble makers.

“As of now there is no need for police action, however, a political call needs to be firmed up in dealing with the statements on the memorial issue,” sources said adding the police realises that it will be first to face the brunt in case of misadventure by the radicals. Besides the UPA, even the BJP, the ruling partner in the state with the Akalis, has expressed its reservation on the memorial.

As of now there is a drift and it has been observed by the agencies that the Union Home Minister share his opinion with Badal on the matter of the memorial and also the fact that several Pakistan-based elements and pro-Khalistan elements based in Europe, Canada, the UK and the US are having a free-for-all on the Internet and spreading their own thoughts. Badal may not be able to counter the net-based propaganda, however, he can ensure the right kind of atmosphere in the state.

New Delhi has sounded off friendly foreign countries about the hatred being spread by radicals. “Thankfully, the European nations are ready to hear India. This is a change since the 1980s and early 1990s when political asylum was being granted to the people from Punjab”.

Don't believe everything you read in the media and that goes double for the Indian media! European nations grant asylum status according to each case. Even if the governments suddenly become amenable to India, the tribunal system especially in the UK makes sure that the government doesn't always get their way. The stupid Indians have no idea of how the European system works. They think Cameron just has to click his finger and someone seeking asylum will be on the first plane out of the country. The Indian media is notorious for making up 'facts' and 'agreements' when none exist.

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
