Was The Protest At Kotkapura Actually Peaceful?

First of all...I'm not saying anything against the protesters...we have every right to protest when we are facing this sort of treatment, especially beadbi of Maharaj Ji...but i want to share something:

I keep hearing people saying that Singhs were reading Bani peacfully, and the police started to suddenly charge them, and shoot them,and spraying water canons, without any warning. However, one particular video i found on Sikh voice shows the footage of what happened before the police started attacking, and it shows a totally diffferent thing. Singhs are not siting down, they are standing up and are agitated. In the front is Bhai Ranjeet Singh dhadrianwala and Panthpreet Singh. Then, the police order the arrest of the leaders in the front...and they are taken away to some police vehicles. At this point the crowd began to get agitated and some pushing begins. There are Singhs with swords drawn moving towards the police and we see the police and Singhs getting into scuffles, and then the water cannon comes out and everything goes crazy..people running etc...thats when the riot began.

I'm not saying the police are not wrong...i'm sure they did abuse their power and went overboard like they always do...all I'm saying is that we need be TRUTHFUL or else we discredit ourselves. The police's version (press note available on facebook) actually says that Singhs were on the loudspeakers and telling the crowd to use kirpans against police, and destroy their vehicles (this could be verified through video if it's true or not...someone is talking on the speaker, but i can't figure out what they are saying)...the police are saying that the Singhs started to act unruly and since they are outnumbered, they had to use force to deter the large crowd. Again...lets the facts clear. If i am wrong, or if this video is from a different incident, please let me know. I'm not saying anything against the protest, i'm just saying the truth needs to be told to remain trustworthy, and from this video, it seems that Singhs were getiing agitated and were scuffling with the police before the water canons came out and control was lost, and this information seems contrary to what we are being told about everyone sitting down reading Bani (i'm sure Singhs were reading Bani all day during the protest, but when all this drama went down, the video shows a different story). Here is the video:

I absolutely agree with you. Indian army and punjab police totally abuse their power and go overboard, and kill innocents. These police officers need to be held accountable for their actions. The only thing I'm bringing up is that we need to present the facts, because if later on it is found that we were not telling the story as it really happened, we will really discredit ourselves and people will dismiss everything we have to say. All I'm saying is that many people are saying in speeches that all the Singhs were sitting down, reading Bani... and the police suddenly started to shoot water cannons and bullets at them and began to attack them without any warning. The video I posted shows that when the leaders got arrested people began to get agitated and there were scuffles breaking out with the police, and at this point that people were no longer sitting down, and then the clash began. What happened after this was totally an abuse of power by the police and horrendous crimes against humanity.

    • 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.
