Greedy Jathedars and Their Political Motivations

I would like to bring up an interesting point and see what your views were on the subject. As you know, recently there have been a lot of summonings by the Jatherdar's of our panth. I think that they have no right to judge the likes of Prof Darshan Singh Ji Khalsa or Kala Aghana when they themselves are thugs. They visit dera's such as this Baba's. He was caught in a motel with a woman other than his wife. Swore on the Guru Granth Sahib and lied. He is now involved in Human Smuggling. And just as recent as Nov 8th, JathedarGiani Gurbachan Singh (Akal Takhat) and Jathedar Iqbal Singh (Sri Patna Sahib) were at his dera. How can they justify this and then go and say they have the knowledge to decide if others are committing anti-sikh activities. I know the family at whose house these Jathedars stayed at and they told me that they heard they heard them talking on the phone and saying that they only come to the U.S. to get Lafaafe (bags full of money). I mean how can someone who associates readily with anti-sikhs such as chicago Baba, be allowed to judge Ragi and Dilgeer. Not they aren't wrong, but a criminal has no right to judge a criminal.

A TRUE CASE THAT PROVES MY POINT:

Apparently our greedy Jathedars who are puppets for politicians can not be put under public scrutiny. They are just as anti-panthic as Kala Afgana. Perhaps even more because they are in a position that affects millions and they misuse their power. They visit the deras of self proclaimes "sant babas" like the one in chicago. The very same baba who takes drugs, whos granthis smoke and drink, who married although he has a wife and a child in india, the very baba who wamanizes. These jathedars visit his dera, they go on stage and say they are in the U.S. with his "bidaulat".
AND NOW I WILL REVEAL THEIR TRUE COLORS!! This Chicago Baba is involved in a feud with another member of the Gurdwara who he incorrectly removed because the member did not agree with the babas womanizing ways. He barred the whole family from coming to the gurdwara. Their children did kirtan and he told them to get off the stage while they were performing shabad. He threatened the children and called the police on them when they said that gurdwara is guru's house and everyone is allowed. The member has now brought a civil suit against the Baba for illegaly removing him as member for the gurdwara and kicking his family out. The baba went around making up lies that the member came to the gurdwara drunk and caused disruption along with other lies. When these Jathedars (Akal Takhat and Patna Sahib) were at his dera, he sent them to the families house to convince them to drop the case and that the Baba was ready to apologize and let them back in(why would he do this is he was not wrong?). The famiyl said no and that the baba had to be stopped and they would not let him off easy. When they questioned the jathedars about the Baba's womanizing and anti-sikh deeds (human smuggling, drug taking, etc.), the jathedars said that this is not the problem at hand and that they should take the case back or the family will be summoned to the Akal Takhat. THe family explained that the case is not against the gurdwara but against the Baba and that the jathedars have no jurisdiction in the matter. What kind of jathedars are these? Is this all they have left to do? We have millions of problems in our panth and they are doing the bidding of this Baba because he will most likely pay them an extra thousand or two? They ignore the Baba's womanizing and the use of a gurdwara as front for human smuggling and oppress a Sikh trying to stop this Baba and have his children be let back into a gurdwara? I spit on any one who supports this jathedar and conspires against a true sikh, even if it is a jathedar.

BASIC POINTS-

1) Do these Jathedars have any right to judge others when they stay at deras of baba's such as the one stated above? They are greedy and have political motivations.

2) These jathedars think the can summon anyone to the Akal Takhat, as shown in the second paragraph. Since when is that right?

3) Any time someone tried to judge these "leaders" on forums, people call them anti-panthic. Since when are these leaders above public scrutiny? I only bow to Waheguru, everyone else is common man.

When in fact they are the "MAHA CHAMCHAS" of Badals i.e. personal puppets for Akali leaders /politicians ! Divide & rule is in their blood now, for total control & dictatorship. Their motto: "Do what we say, and not what we do !" They are the main cause of universal decline of Sikhism! They only worship "votes & notes". In my books they are totally irrelevant and impotent to the vast majority of the Sikhs in this day & age.

Everyone knows that Chicago Baba deleted not wake up at amrit vela, or even do paath. But he has memorized lines from Guru Granth Sahib and knows Saakhis and he tries to act like he is a Sant. These Jathedars act like they are true sikhs but their deeds are not pure. I know kids in U.S. who have not taken amrit, eat meat, and cut their hair but atleast they try to apply lessons of Guru's into their lives. In my mind, they are more Sikh than these fakes. You have to be careful ji about some statements. narayanjot kaur
