    Why, this is happening to Sikhs only, now why all sants had called the public to Ludhiana, instead they make a strategy how to defame these bloody Nurmehlias and all other pakhandi's, this all is the strategy to defame Sikhs

    I request my brothers and all the Sikh leaders to develop a strategy how to handle all this, time has now changed and in the time of our gurus we are with weapons and all, now it is not there we are weapon less and the police kills our Sikhs who are just protesting the wrong doings of these sadhs.

    We have to reach diplomatically by using our powers with the panth dardi Sikhs holding positions to get out of this situation.

    This is a different type of war and here the dushman is not in front , as this had happened before in Sangrur also when a nirdosh Singh was killed..

    Why is the issue being communalised by Badal party and BJP party as a Sikh - Hindu clash.

    It is a case of Sikhs not allowing disrespect of Sikh Guru's by any fake baba, and not a Sikh - Hindu clash

    Its disgusting… BJP disgusts me… I have seen the video of a follower of Ashutosh claiming that he is the Khalsa. Heres a line by Maharaj Guru Gobind Singh JI. Khalsa mei hu, roop hai Kas, Khalsa meru Karu nivass…. Ashutosh and his followers do not look like a singh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji… nor does if look like Guru Gobind Singh ji….

    Neither does a true sant discredit or claim that people of another faith is false. From my analysis the BJP is just as evil and devious as the NAZIS!

    I am hesitant to support when these kind incidents occur. It makes me feel that we put our Sikh families living in India on front line while we are living in safe heaven. We all got to come together to channel our powers to resolve this peacefully.

    We Sikhs need to resolve it step by step starting with the most important issue to be raised in Parliament. I don't think Indian Govt. would like to have instability within the country while there are imminent terrorist threat from adjoining countries.

    Punjabi' politicians such as Nakli Akali Parkash Badal and his heir 'Kaka Badal' do not even qualify as being Punjabi, nor Sikh as they continue to deceive the Punjabi Sikh people with spurious promises and work against Panthic interests by working in collaboration with the RSS, Bajrang Dal, the VHP and other terrorist organizations.

    Under the leadership of such mahants, the only guarantee that the Punjabi Sikhs can believe is that this history of deceit and corruption will repeat


    Badal family had a monopoly on all important Sikh institutions. “Badalisation” of Sikh polity had led to denigration of Sikh institutions. 'The father and son, who are devoid of ideology, are controlling the historical institutions,'


    In Punjab the interests of Sikhs should be supreme,

    Its horrible..every second day some filthy baba gets up in Punjab & create trouble for Sikhs..First it was Sirsa Wala & now this stinking piece..How many more Sikhs have to die??

    Come on all Sikhs its time unite together & give a proper answer to all these fake Babas. Please be proud of Sikhi. Start from your own house. Make everyone aware what all is happening around in Punjab.We all have to work together to save our religion.

    I agree with R.P. Singh ji, but brother how can we believe in some one who is look like Khalsa but he is follower of the fake sadhs(in post of JK. Gill), if we gather those persons who admit Dhan Guru Granth Sahib ji, his/her guru.

    Yes, we need to do something differently, but how and who is going to do it? What kind of power you can use till the time Badal is in power, who is openly against Sikhism.

    We all call ourselves as SIKH, but can we truly say that we are SIKH of our Guru's. Do we have the nyarapan of Khalsa in us.Do we really follow the message of Guru Granth Sahib Jee. If not, then we can never win.

    "Jab lag Khalsa rahe nayara tab lag tej diyo mai saara, Kab eh Gaye Bipran ki reet, meh na karo in ki parteet."

    We are good in talks, but our deeds, action are not that of a Sikh. Ask yourself "Am I a Sikh". Atleast I can say I am not.

    We are not even able to formulate a policy how to promote Sikhism, then how can we formulate a policy to control them.

    Whenever any such events happens we openly came out with Swords but we forgot that Govt had always portrayed our negative image rather than positive.So such protest are going to do nothing, rather it will go against us as the common people will not be with us.

    Guru Nanak Sahib was able to spread the message of Sikhism because he was with common people, the poors, the neglected one in society. The only way out is to follow the same Philosophy to promote Sikhism. Rest will be taken care by Guru ji himself.

    These sadh's and their organisation have reached out to the masses in punjab, but our sikh organisation main focus is on generating money only and doing little for sikhism.

    GUR FATEH to all

    I was on the same place, it look likes every thing is designed by our govt, police is also under the govt...here is one big mistake that we announce everthing before we did, so our govt & police knew about our future plan. S

    o they caught us near Dholewal Chowk, Transport Nagar & last near Samrala Chowk...

    Our whole leadership belongs to the RSS...now i request to all Sikhs who are in India Punjab or abroad please make a new Panthic party so that we can save from RSS & Congress..

    All those including Sikhs in Punjab and abroad who voted for Badal in the last elections are responsible for the death and injury to many Sikhs in Ludhiana on December 5, 2009.

    At the same time we must not forget that it was the Congress which sought the support of Sirsa saadh in the last elections in malwa region.

    So for us BJP, Akali dal badal,RSS,Congress are all the same but they came changing their role a little bit from time to time to fool the Sikhs and Punjabis.

    Our immediate task should be to remove the Badal jundli from the SGPC and control of the Akaal Taakht.

    At the same time we should also beware of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara committee (DSGCPC), Akali dal Barnala ,Akali dal Longowal etc who are no different from the above mentioned parties and are just taking undue advantage of the anti Badal sentiments amongst Sikhs.
