Mann supporters stone Tiranga Yatra :( :lol: ))))

Rajpura/Fatehgarh Sahib, September 24

Black flags greeted Uma Bharti’s Tiranga Yatra within minutes of its entry into Punjab. Akali Dal (Amritsar) activists stopped the yatra for around 15 minutes at the octroi post here. They were raising slogan “Uma Bharti Vapas Jao”.

A little further away, the Rajeev Brigade made its point by shouting “Uma Bharti Hai Shararti”. Another 25 km away at Sirhind, Simranjit Singh Mann lay down on the Grand Trunk Road to stop the sadhvi’s cavalcade. Mann’s supporters stoned two vehicles. They also throw eggs at the yatra.

Although Uma claimed she was not cowed down by the opposition to her yatra, she was clearly ruffled. She said Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh was behind the demonstrations.

She said she would now make it a point to campaign and see an end to the Congress rule in the next Assembly elections by campaigning in the state.

She said the Chief Minister should have ordered the arrest of demonstrators. She would request the SAD president, after the formation of an Akali-BJP government in the state, to take action against the DCs and SSPs of both district, she added. The police force had remained mute spectators to the entire ‘drama’, she claimed.

She announced that the people of Madhya Pradesh would now show bl

ack flags to Sonia Gandhi whenever the latter visited the state unless she “directed” Capt Amarinder Singh to apologise to her.

Earlier, when the cavalcade of Uma Bharti reached near the Rajpura octroi post, around 150 Amritsar Dal activists stopped traffic on the road while waving black flags. They also shouted anti-Uma slogans.

Akali activists even hit at the car of former minister Manoranjan Kalia with fists, besides getting into an argument with state BJP president Avinash Rai Khanna. They were removed from the spot after 15 minutes after a mild lathicharge. No one was injured in the lathicharge.

At a roadside public rally at Rajpura, Manoranjan Kalia threaten that BJP workers would rise up all over the state in case the Tiranga Yatra was hit by a single stone.

However, the talk did not help much and the yatra vehicles were stoned by Amritsar Dal activists at Sirhind, 25 km further on the road.

Glasses of two vehicles were broken.

Although the Fatehgarh Sahib police had nabbed around 30 persons, including SGPC member Ravinder Singh Khalsa, before the yatra reached Sirhind, Mr Simranjit Singh Mann was able to lead around 40 supporters to the GT Road. He lay down on the road and the traffic remained blocked for more 30 minutes.

Later, Mr Mann even kicked one of the cavalcade vehicles, while his supporters tried to reach Uma’s bus.

The Fatehgarh Sahib police had a difficult time controlling both Akali and BJP activists as some BJP workers had come down from their vehicles to take on the Akalis. Eggs were thrown at cavalcade vehicles. Some Akali activists threw a metal table, lying in front of a shop, at one of the vehicles.

Mr Mann, while talking to reporters at the spot, claimed the BJP, the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal were responsible for the Operation Bluestar and that Uma Bharti was only coming to further aggravate the situation. He alleged that the manner in which the National Flag was being carried in the yatra was intimidator

y and did not give a message of peace.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
