Haryana announces separate Sikh panel for its Gurdwaras

IANS | Chandigarh July 6, 2014 Last Updated at 16:18 IST

Bowing to the demand of Sikh leadership from the state, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda Sunday announced that a separate Sikh body would be set up to run the affairs of gurdwaras (Sikh shrines) in Haryana.

The announcement, which was being speculated on for the past few days, was formally made by Hooda at a Sikh conference in Haryana's Kaithal town, 140 km from here, Sunday. It was greeted by a thunderous applause by the gathering.

The move was strongly opposed by the Amritsar-based Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the mini-parliament of Sikh religious affairs, which currently controls gurdwaras across Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

Punjab's ruling Shiromani Akali Dal, which dominates the SGPC, also opposed the Haryana move and had even sought the Centre's intervention in the matter.

The Haryana government is likely to bring a legislation in the forthcoming assembly session next week to enable the creation of a new Sikh body to manage gurdwaras and Sikh affairs in Haryana.

Once the new law is passed, nearly 72 gurdwaras in Haryana will go out of the control of the SGPC.

What right does huda have to announce this committee?

Is he even a Sikh?

A little surprised they are trying to do it under a BJP govt, as the Akalis are part of this govt as well.

Still it should open badals eyes a little. Hopefully.

my guts tell me this....

In the recent General Elections..Haryana mainly voted for the BJP....

Haryana also has the biggest Sikh population outside Punjab...and most Sikhs didnt swing toward Modi in the elections...

So maybe he HOPES of consolidating the Haryana Sikh votes by setting up HSGPC , in the coming Haryana state polls. To capitalize on the grouses of Haryana Sikhs have towards SGPC in short. To win their hearts in short and counter the Badal Akalis influence in Haryana.

Revenue from Haryana Gurughars is managed and goes to SGPC......

SGPC will no more be getting the revenue from Haryana Gurughars....hence, the objection.

Regardless, anything that makes Badal scream in horror :omg: .........I like it! :excited: :excited: :excited:

Look at the video of hooda when he announced his decision. Majority of his audience were not even Sikhs.

Haryana (former Punjab) is always a big problem for us.

Agreed that sgpc is big problem but having more divisions is not going to reduce our problems but it will create more.

This means less power to SGPC as HGPC will be running its own Gurdwara's. Maybe this is a good thing since SGPC is rotten to the bone. HGPC needs to make sure it does a good job. All major committes need to work together. Its obvious at the moment they do not and that they are at each others necks which is terribly bad for the worsening situation in Punjab

The congress is behind this breakup and they are doing this by taking advantage of our grievances with Badal. The congress is the biggest enemy of the Sikhs. Even before partition when Sikhs were carrying out the morchas for the liberation of Gurdwaras, the congress did not like Sikhs liberating their Gurdwaras and asked Sikhs to direct their manpower under the leadership of the congress and said they will give Gurdwaras to Sikhs after independence. But Sikhs like Kartar Singh Jhabbar did not trust the Hindu leadership of the congress party and refused to follow this and freed the Gurdwaras and created the SGPC. After independence, the congress has repeatedly tried to take over SGPC by putting up it's own candidates. The recent congress candidates were under the command of the notorious Sarna who is a known congress asset (and is also now supporting this breakup). After repeatedly losing SGPC elections, the congress has finally decided to break SGPC. And congress leaders all over North India are not making a secret of their desire.

What will Sikhs achieve by creating HSGPC? I predict it will be no different and will be just as corrupt as current SGPC leadership as the DSGMC in Delhi is. On the other hand who is achieving their goal by breaking SGPC? it is the congress party. For the Sikhs. We do not even realize how we are being played here by our biggest enemy. Just to hurt Badal we are ready to even shoot ourselves in the foot by supporting the breakup of SGPC! SGPC is not Badal, and neither will it always be under the control of the Badals, but once an organisation or nation breaks apart, it almost never comes back together. This is the biggest tactical mistake we will make since we boycotted the elections in 1992. Sometimes when we think we are doing something very smart but we only end up doing our own Nuksaan.

good post bhaji - but im sure sgpc is under the noose of badal

which is why I wrote "SGPC is not Badal, and neither will it always be under the control of the Badals"

We are punishing SGPC because it is temporarily under Badal's control. Before Badal there was SGPC and after Badal it will also be there. So we need to stop thinking Badal and SGPC is one and the same. Tomorrow will we support breakup or partition of Punjab or punish Punjab because it is currently(and temporarily) under the political control of Badal? We are self inflicting injuries on our own selves just to hurt Badal.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
