[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 109600, member: 189"] A MAIL FROM A CONCERNED SIKH IN THE WEST...SHOWS WHAT POLITICS IS PLAYED IN GURDWARAS... Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh This is a significant development. Sri Akal Takhat Sahib has asked the Sikh hardliner group (Dashmesh Darbar group), which almost coerced Sri Akal Takaht in issuing the Langar Hukamnama in 1998, as to why they have forged "unity" with those who were excommunicated from the Khalsa Panth by then Jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh on the Langar issue. The Hukamnama issued in April 1998 under the seal of Sri Akal Takhat and bearing the signatures of Jathedar Sri Akal Takhat Bhai Ranjit Singh, directed the Sikhs to partake Guru Ka Langar while squatting on the floor as per the Sikh tradition, not on tables and chairs. People who now control Dashmesh Darbar at Surrey once controlled the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple of Surrey for many years before the excomminicated group (Balwant Gill, Bhandal, Harkirtat Singh, etc) took over the Surrey Sikh Temple. They had fought with them with swords in that Gurdwara. They lost the elections that followed to Balwant Gill's group. After that they raised the chairs and tables issue and almost forced Sri Akal Takhat to issue Hukamnama against the Gill and co. After losing elections, they started Dashmesh Darbar in Surrey. I had written a personal letter to Jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh IN AUGUST 1997 (8 MONTHS BEFORE HE ISSUED THE LANGAR HUKAMNAMA) and advised him not to act in a hurry on this issue. (The letter was written as a concerned Sikh. I had no relationship (direct or indirect) with any of the persons belonging to those two groups. I had urged him to send a fact-finding team to Canada before taking any action because he matter was more complicated than it looked on the surface. I wish he had paid attention to my cry! I have some questions: 1. How can a Sikh group forge a unity with excommunicated Sikhs, which itself caused the Hukamnama to be issued in the first place against them? 2. How can they meet with them when the Hukamnama, which is in full force, explicitly forbids any social, religious contact or marital relationship with them unless they admit their guilt and present themselves in front of Sri Akal Takhat and receive religious punishment? 3. Hasn't this group itself violated the Hukmanama by forging a unity with the excommunicated group? 4. Can someone tell us who put tables and chairs in the Gurdwara Langar Hall in the first place over there before the Gill and Co. took over? If they were going to be lovey-dovey with this group, why did they put the entire Panth through untold misery for more than a decade? 5. I do not know who exactly made the deal. If any secret deal with the excommunicated group is not a violation of the Sri Akal Takhat's Hukamnama and a stab in the back of Khalsa Panth, what is it? There are countless number of Sikhs who fought for Sri Akal Takhat and backed the Langar Hukamnama, suffered for it and are still backing it. Countless people have suffered for taking a stand for Sri Akal Takhat. I am one of them. I resigned along with four other Singhs from the San Jose Gurdwara (California) committee on this issue over 10 years ago! However, we kept the pressure on the committee and now people partake Langar over there on the floor. Please share your thoughts on this. Tarlochan Singh [/QUOTE]
