Support Bapu Surat Singh Ji

"Are Singh’s demands valid?


Jaspal Singh Manjhpur, the lawyer aiding Surat Singh, said that the list discussed by the DGP contained 200 names, of which an estimated 70 to 75 prisoners have indeed served over 15 to 20 years of their jail term. Arjun Sheoran, a lawyer associated with People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), said that the Punjab government’s claim that the state was unable to act because of a Supreme Court stay on release of life prisoners in 2014 was inaccurate and that an interim application could be filed."

Good idea in principle, will not happen until the dusht is dethroned.
Take back 'Panth Rattan' title from Badal, say Surat Khalsa supporters

The supporters of Surat Singh Khalsa, who has been on a hunger strike since January demanding the release of Sikh detainees, on Monday appealed to Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh to withdraw' the 'Panth Rattan, Fakr-e-Quam' honour that was bestowed on Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

The Akal Takht had bestowed this title or honour on Badal in 2011 in recognition of his services to the Sikh 'panth' (community).

The supporters of Khalsa under the banner of, 'Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa Sangarsh Committee', met the Jathedar in his office here on Monday. They forwarded a memorandum to him in which they made this demand, referring to the Chief Minister as an enemy (dushman) of the Sikh 'panth'.

They have set August 30 as the deadline for withdrawing this honour and threatened that if their demand was not met then, " the 'quam' will itself issue a directive announcing the withdrawal of the honour ".

Those who met the Jathedar included Surjit Singh Kalabala, SGPC member, Jarnail Singh Sakhira and Jaskaran Singh Kahan Singhwala, both of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Harbir Singh Sandhu and Gurdip Singh Bathinda.

"We have the highest regard for the Akal Takht and have always been ready to submit to its dictates. At critical junctures, the 'quam' always looks to the Akal Takht for guidance", the memorandum stated.

The memorandum described Badal as a " dushman of the Sikh quam", holding him responsible for the "degradation of Sikh values". The memorandum claimed that as chief minister he had taken no worthwhile steps to secure the release of Sikh detainees who have behind bars for a very long and for whose release Surat Singh Khalsa had gone on hunger strike.

The memorandum held Badal responsible for the rise in the number of drug addiction cases in Punjab as he did not take stern measures to check drug smuggling into the state.

"IF you do not withdraw this honour then you will be insulting those 'panthic' stalwarts who were bestowed with this high honour earlier", the memorandum stated.

The Jathedar refused to comment on the contents of the memorandum or on the demand of the Sangarsh Committee.

I seriously have no clue whats our takht jathedars are doing so far? I have utmost respect to all takht decision makers but however their silence is really appalling.

Also the Sant Samaj hasn't shown up to support, they have a good relationship with badal they should do something if takhat jathedars aren't going to do anything.

Also 'Guru Ki Fauj' Nihang Singhs haven't shown up, i wonder what there doing.

    • 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.
