Its all over the news and also YouTube. Guess what, now Indian media is at the forefront reporting this but it was pretty much dead during Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa ji's hunger strike.

More we like to suppress/hide/cover up our community under lining issues, more evidently it comes out and revolt back and come out nasty like the one above.

Sure indian media is biased but what about the actual fight? Two wrong does not make it right, they are not even related. Indian media or any media will feed off whatever is given to them, in this case like mostly other hostile fight cases between sikhs are given free advertisment to media so there is no seeking as such, its reporting as its given...Most of sikh issues are within, are self inflicted by sikh themselves.

There is no denying things will go worst thats what happens when spiritual gurmat gurbani sidhant traditions are lost, all you are left with are bunch of criminals/goons fighting over power and other portions are high on ego trips leading to power trips.

Because of these fights, thats why its soo important, religion and state are kept separate because state generally would have eagle eyes views uphold law and order... they don't give a two hoots about tribal issues of anyone, they are here to uphold rule of law period.

Patna Sahib, Bihar (January 07, 2014): According to certain media reports at least four persons, including Jathedar of Takht Sri Harimandir Ji, Patna Sahib, Gyani Iqbal Singh; his son Gurprakash Singh; a member of ‘Panjy Payre’ Guru Dayal Singh and one Gurjeet Singh – were injured in a clash between two opponent factions following a dispute over appointment a Jathedar of Takht Patna Sahib.

The Hindustan Times (HT) has reported that 4 persons sustained injuries in this incident, where as Zee News and some other media networks have reported that 6 persons were injured in this clash. The violent clash took place at Diwan hall in Takht Sahib premises, which falls under Chowk police station of Patna on Tuesday.

The incident took place today (January 07, 2014) on the occasion of 347th Parkash Gurpurb of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was born on January 7, 1666 at Patna Sahib in Bihar. People in large numbers from across the world had reached Patna Sahib to participate in Parkash Gurpurb Samagams.

As per information the violent clash took place at around 9 am soon after the announcement of the fresh nomination of additional Jathedar of Takht Sahib as Pratap Singh, head granthi of Nader Sahib. The two groups clashed soon after the announcement.

Patna SSP Manu Maharai said, on the basis of the statement of Giani Iqbal Singh and others, FIR has been lodged against Kashmira Singh ‘Bhuriwale’ from Punjab and six others in this connection. “The matter is being investigated,” he added. The injured have been admitted to hospital.

“Keeping in mind that the grand celebration of Guru Maharaj and thousands of devotees from different states and overseas had gathered at Patna Sahib, it was quite unfortunate. It would send a bad image of the city and the state as the whole program was being telecast live on electronic media in the whole world,” said Manindar singh, a devotee from Singapore.

Iqbal Singh, 55, said that he was shocked to know how the Prabandhak committee nominated additional ‘Granthi’ without taking my consent. “As I stood up, around 150 persons allegedly from Punjab, suddenly attacked us with swords and lathis and even pushed me from the stage along with my son,” said Giani Iqbal Singh

Takht general secretary, Charanjeet Singh said, “I had not removed jathedar Iqbal Singh and we want an additional ‘Jathedar’. Pratab Singh, of Nader Sahib, has a good experience and qualifications for the post. In fact, we need seven to 10 ‘Granthis’ for 350th celebration’,” he added.

Its all over the news and also YouTube. Guess what, now Indian media is at the forefront reporting this but it was pretty much dead during Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa ji's hunger strike.

Keeping your irritation with the Indian media 1 side.

Such things are just unacceptable at a Takht Sahib.
