Petition: 'sikh Nation' Declare That Gurbachan Singh Is Not Our Jathedar.

[Jivan76]

There you go! Thanks Mehtab Singh !

Open Letter To Bhai Gurbachan Singh:

December 8, 2013

It is indeed a sad statement on your integrity as the Akal Takhat Jethedar whereby you have failed to support the Sikh Sangat and Bhai Gurbaksh Singh by declaring the hunger strike morcha of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh as anti-gurmat after meeting Sukhbir Badal and you have failed to uphold the sanctity of Ardaas that you were part of on December 4 , 2013. I and many Sikhs around the globe have been watching your actions as the current Akal Takhat Jathedar with great dismay as you have consistently failed to act in accordance with upholding Sikh values, pursuit of justice for Sikhs and most importantly in standing in solidarity with the Sikh Sangat on critical issues affecting the Sikh Nation. Your failure to fully support Bhai Gurbaksh Singhs peaceful and just hunger strike which the Sikh Sangat has endorsed is a critical example of your lack of leadership and vision. I have lost confidence in your ability to represent the Sikhs as Akal Takhat Jathedar and as a humble member of the Sangat, I request that you resign from this post immediately.

While I have full faith in the institution of the Akal Takhat as ordained by our Panth, it has been clear from your statements and actions that you as Akal Takhat Jathedar are not to be trusted with the responsibility and honour of representing the Sikh people. Please take note that I, Bhai Avtar Singh , a medical doctor in Surrey, Canada no longer consider you as Jathedar of Akal Takhat. I am confident that the Sikh Sangat too will in the near future act to remove you from this critical position and appoint a true Jathedar who is an example of Khalsa spirit and service to the Panth.

Avtar Singh .

I think the real culprit here is SGPC ! Dismantle this whole sangats' money eating machinery. There should be a Amritsar Spring revolution !

No, Nothing wrong with SGPC. Problem is the people controlling it. Dismantle the western style democratic electoral system in SGPC. That is the problem where corrupt people are being elected. Khalsa needs to come back to the traditional selection system.

Will this really help to appoint a new Jathedar that will stand up for the Khalsa Panth? Badal will get rid of Gurbachan Singh and then appoint another one of his puppets who will politically win over many Sikhs, but nothing will change. Badal strong hold on Sikh institutions is causing a problem in the Khalsa Panth. SGPC is the same position as Jathedar of Akal Takht. They are given commands by Badal when to act and when to sit down.

This problem will not be solved by simply removing the Akal Takht Jathedar. A political movement to overthrow Badal from his dictatorship will release Sikh institutions. Creating a new political party and having it run in elections.

In the past Bhai Gurdev Singh ji Kaunke was tortured and murdered when he was Jathedar of Akal Takht. A Gursikh like Bhai Gurdev Singh Kaunke needs political backing to stay as Jathedar of Akal Takht.

Kick out Gurbachan Singh and dismantle SGPC. Real challenge is electing real Khalsa.

I think best way would be for all REAL Panthic jathebandian to appoint Khalsa from each jatha. So one from Taksal, Nihang Singhs and AKJ. That way they can balance each out.

Having over representation of any one group without checks and balances would be bad.

I disagree with Baba Hari Singh Randhawa, he is also a part of Sant Samaj that supports Badal.

Agree with Baba Nihal Singh Jee but strongly disagree with Baba Hari Singh Randhawe waley. He is very knowledgeable no doubt, but he cannot go against party lines and as a result stays quiet in regards to Badal. Bhai Ranjit Singh, the former Jathadar of Akal Takht had a backbone and was not scared nor intimidated by Badal.

Shaheed Gurdev Singh Kaunke was also a good Jathadar. He had knowledge/Gian of Gurmat, fully Rehitvaan and was not scared to become a Shaheed. But ideally we need a Singh like Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale to become Jathadar of Akal Takht. That would be a dream come true.

Discussing which Jathedar should be appointed now is like discussing what color of Bana Jathedar ji would wear on the first day of being appointed. In this current time even if you had a Jathedar who stood up to Badal, he would be eliminated in some fashion and a puppet Jathedar would be appointed once again. Imho.

I believe its better to let know your relatives in india that it is time to elect another party and politically overthrow Badal. No more who will destroy Sikhi at a slower pace. Give the people of punjab to vote for a party that is actually looking out for their welfare.
