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.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
