MUKHERJI NAGAR, DELHI (KP) - Facing strong opposition from the local Delhi Sangat, ex-communicated heretic Ragi Darshan made a humiliating retreat from a program scheduled by his cronies on  March 1st, 2010 at Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Mukherji Nagar.

Despite the backing of hundreds of bussed-in supporters and armed Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) task-force hoodlums provided by Paramjit Sarna, the local Sangat successfully blocked the pro Kala-Afghani function oragnized by the heretic Ragi's supporters.

Sarna promoting Ragi to undermine Sri Akal Takht 

The self-styled “professor” Ragi Darshan, who was ex-communicated from the Khalsa Panth on January 29th, 2010, is barred from using all Panthic stages and platforms.  Despite this restriction, anti-Panthic masands of DSGMC and its head Paramjit Sarna are surreptitiously attempting to promote the ex-Sikh Ragi and undermine Sri Akal Takht Sahib's edicts and authority.

Fearing wrath of the Sangat, Ragi supporters have often taken the him unannounced to various venues and have thus avoided confrontation, but for some peculiar reason they had advertised the attendance of Ragi Darshan for March 1st function.  This obviously raised concerns among Panthic circles, prompting the Sangat to alert the Jathedars of the Five Takhts about the possible transgression against Sri Akal Takht Sahib’s HukamNamas by Ragi's cronies.

In connection to the March 1st program, the Sikh sewadars also petitioned North Delhi Deputy Commissioner, and the Delhi Police Commissioners of the possibility of a violent clash between the Sikh Sangat and supporters of the ex-communicated heretic.

Behind the scenes, the key indviduals promoting the heretic on the March 1st program were the Sarna brothers, both DSGMC executives, and Prof. Harmohinder Singh, the local Gurdwara president and member of DSGMC.

Congress and Police Involvement - Youth Detained

Leveraging pressure from local Congress Party politicians, Prof. Harmohinder was able to have the Delhi Police assign a large number of police officers around the Gurdwara complex, and even coaxed them to detain several Sikh youths, including Bhai Harminder Singh, Bhai Kulbir Singh, Bhai Harbinder Singh, and Bhai Harjit Singh.  These were were the saem Sikh youths who had sent petitions to the Delhi SC and Police commissioner. They had also filed a seperate petition against Ragi Darshan, citing Indian Penal Code 295A (prohibits deliberate and malicious outrage or insult of the religious feelings of any class).

Even though some of the youths had been detained under political pressure, other local Sikh youths across Delhi along with Shiromani Akali Dal members and other local Sikh Sangat had already reached the Gurdwara where Ragi was to perform.  The Police had already established a security perimeter there, and were doing security searches of anyone entering the Gurdwara premises.

Singhs Targeted at Venue

Delhi Police had already been instructed by Saran and company to question and harass anyone wearing Nihang Singh type dumallas or a large Sri Sahibs (kirpans), and many of the Singhs wearing dumallas or large Sri Sahibs were ill-treated and were told to sit outside near the street and not allowed to enter the Gurdwara premises.

Although the function was to begin at 6:30pm, the heretic Ragi and his entourage of four busses comprising of about 150 armed DSGMC hoodlums did not arrive until 8:30pm.  In a shocking display of arrogance and disregard for Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Ragi sat on a chair setup especially for him between the Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Takht and the Kirtani stage.

Sangat Confronts Ragi and promoters

When the organizers were about to announce that the Ragi was to perform on stage, all concerned Sangat members including men, women, and the youth, loudly protested the heretic's presense and raised slogans of ਦੇਗ ਤੇਗ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ!, ਅਕਾਲ ਤਖਤ ਮਹਾਨ ਹੈ ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਾਨ ਹੈ! (Deg Teg Fateh, Akal Takht Mahan Hai), and began to loudly recite “Satnam Waheguru” and Gurbani.

At this time several of the protesting youths were assaulted by the thugs hired by the Sarna brothers. Despite the intimidation and assaults by the DSGMC hoodlums, the protesting Sangat remained calm and stead forth in their resolve to not allow the Gurdwara management to misuse the premises and violate Sri Akal Takht HukamNamas.

Humiliated, Ragi and Cronies Retreat

Stunned by opposition’s resolve, and hoping the situation would not spiral out of control, the management embarrassedly announced that the Ragi would not be allowed on stage.  The Kirtan diwan was then concluded by the resident Ragis who recited Anand Sahib and ended the program followed by loud victorious Jaikarays from the Sangat.  The humiliated Ragi and his cronies quickly retreated from the scene, and left the premises.

The Sikh youths who had been detained earlier by the Police under political pressure, were released unconditionally around 10:30pm.

Like their predecessors, the Meenays, Masands, Dhir Malliay, Ram Raiyay, pseudo-Nirankaris, Radhan Swamis, Aushutoshis, Sacha Saudees, Kala-Afghanis, Spokesmanees, self-styled Missionaries, these “Darshan Mallees” are now another new cult-like disease that is trying to infect the Panth.   The Sangat needs to stay vigilant and keep this menace in check.
