Harninder Shokar 19 Of Charlton Park Lane,Mundill Mahil 19 of Chatam Kent/Maidstone Road Brighton ,Darren Peters 19 of Shooters Hill Road Blackheath all charged with the Murder of Gagandip Singh
The murder of Gagandip has shocked the Sikh Community up and down the country and the Sikh Nation has suffered a huge loss with Gagandip being taken away from us.We remember his selfless service and hard work which we all have to unite and build upon.Be it the creation of BSSF,Dharam Parchaar in the form of leaflets,cds & books,Helping the families of Shaheeds in Panjab,Promoting the cause of Self Determination of the Sikh Nation in the form of Khalistan,Speaking up for Sikh Human Rights as well as those of others,sending 100,000 posters of Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale to Panjab at a time when challenges were being put to the Sikhs,Sikhi Camps up and down the UK,Working with other Sikh groups at sports events such as the Sikh Youth Football tournament 2010,Kirtan Darbars in Gurdwareh all year round, Travelling to Pakistan to make a documentary on the historical Gurdwareh,to one of his biggest achievements the launch of The Sikh TV on the Sky Digital Platform in late 2010,where he would go and run the channel during the night to make sure the message of the Gurus,Gurbani and Sikhi Parchaar went out to the masses.
Gagandip funded all his activities and those which served the Sikh Panth from his own pocket and would go out of his way to help his friends and those in need at whatever time of the day.He reached out to all parts of the community and tried to unite everyone under the Kesri Nishan Sahib to strengthen the community while educating it at the same time so we have a new generation of leaders who can lead the Panth in the right direction.He was a true Panthic Leader and rising star who never harmed nobody and never even spoke in a raised voice, he never deserved to die and be taken away from us in such a shocking and evil way.
Recent news reports confirm Gagandip was breathing at the time the car was set alight, there are also reports that the murderers were caught on CCTV buying petrol to use for their evil and horrific act.We demand that the killers are locked up for life for what they have done and their can be no forgiveness in our eyes for the the evil pre meditated murder they carried out,let their be no mistake we fully believe this was no accident and that the aim was to kill Gagan and finish him off.
We pray to Akaal Purakh Waheguru that Gagandip is now in their Charan and may Guru Sahib keep Gagandips family & friends in Chardi Kalla and help them at this hard & painful time at which none of us can comprehend the magnitude of what has happened – we are all in deep sorrow, sadness & in shock – Gagandip can never be replaced ,but his legacy will live on……. and we will build on his work and make him proud.
We thank everyone for their kind messages of support at this hard time and we will not rest until justice is served
