Saharanpur riots Violence broke out in Saharanpur on July 26 after a verdict by the high court in a land dispute case led to some construction work on the land claimed by a gurdwara.

A five-member committee set up to probe the causes of the communal violence in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh has blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders. The report submitted to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has named BJP MP Raghav Lakhanpal.

The report has also criticised the local administration for its failure to control the riot.

The role of the civil and police administration is under the scanner as the armed rioters had a free hand in the riot-hit area, with both the BJP and Saamajwadi Party blaming each other for the violence.

Either way if the deadly mental virus of islamification of india especially of nothern india is not dealt with then it will open the gates to the likes of what is happening in Iraq right now to gain foothold in dharmic lands.

SGPC is a doomed organisation not fit for purpose it has no foresight of political winds that will affect the Sikh community in the long term they only looking to horde wealth of gurdwara's in their own control. We need organisations that look after the security and strategic planning for long term trends and ensure Sikh influence increases in afghanistan, pakistan and all over India rather than decrease as it has been doing since the founding of SGPC.

The problem is Sikh organisations are controlled by the Government of the day through their front men. Blaming the SGPC that was founded to remove Akal Takht Jathedhars that Gave Gen Dyer a Siropa after the 1919 Amritsar massacre and Mahants who raped women visting the Gurdwara is not going to help. We need to highlight who controls the organisation, true its difficult we replaced the British as one colonial master for the Indians, but once the Sikhs realise who is doing the damage to them we can progress. Its Govt interference direct or indirect that needs to be removed in Sikh organisations.
