Dal Khalsa & BSSF Condemn Attempts To Stop Parchaar At Southall Nagar Kirtan

Dal Khalsa UK distributed T Shirts of Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale at the Southall Nagar Kirtan on April 11th 2010 in what was the biggest Nagar Kirtan since 1999 with appx 220,000 in Attendence according to Police figures.

While the vast majority of the sangat and sevadars at the nagar kirtan wore the T Shirts,threats were made to sevadars by certain individuals associated with Taksal and a so called Dal Panth UK about 'breaking legs',if the T Shirts/Posters distribution continued,all due to the reason the word Shaheed was used.Upon hearing this sevadars and sangat was outraged and confronted the associates of the threat makers and a large confrontation occured between the two sides at the stall and at the car park of Singh Sabha Southall Park Ave.

Dal Khalsa UK wishes to once again make it crystal clear that the T Shirts launched at the nagar kirtan have nothing to do with the Taksal / Dal Panth UK or any other group THEY HAVE NO SAY WHATSOEVER IN WHAT T SHIRTS WE GET MADE OR GIVE OUT! and more importantly they have no right to threaten sevadars with threats such as 'breaking legs'.They should take the confrontation in the car park as a warning from the sangat and local youths that WE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE THREATS AND WILL NO LONGER KEEP THE TRUTH BURIED ABOUT THE SHAHEEDI OF THE GREATEST SIKH OF THE 20TH CENTURY,the threats have strengthened our resolve to continue distributing such material and t shirts to counter the lies that these people tell to our youth and our community.Not only have these lies of Shaheed Sant Bhindranwale comming back already helped destroy the Khalistan Movement they have confuseSd the youth and from what was seen at the nagar kirtan - the sangat has now had enough.The Akal Takht accepts that Sant Bhindranwale is Shaheed and so does the entire Panth apart from a few elements such as this faction of the Taksal or new 'Dal Panth UK' which is a mish mash group of 'nihangs' and taksalis and so on.Instead of making threats and driving people away from the Gurdwara and Sikhism and instead of continuing to LIE and keep a LIE alive they should re examine their actions and so called beliefs.

BSSF BRITISH SIKH STUDENT FEDERATION STATEMENT

The British Sikh Student Federation out rightly condemns attempts by mischievous elements of the Sikh Community from stopping the distribution of T-shirts and Posters of Sant Bhindranwale at the Southall Nagar Kirtan this past Sunday because they contained the suffix of SHAHEED on them.

Though not in agreement, BSSF fully respects the views of those Sikhs who still believe that Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale are alive however, we would expect that our view and opinions are respected in the same way.

This was not the case on Sunday!

This is not the first time that such provocative behavior has taken place by the same small group of people.

There was a strong chance of a violent clash at the Ludhiana protest programme at Havelock rd Gurdwara, Southall in December 2009, but due to the diligence of the of BSSF sewadars and elders Sikh Leaders a clash was prevented and the trouble makers were quickly stopped.

The Truth cannot be silenced!

We would like to appeal to the Sangat that BSSF has refrain with great emotional stress from being dragged into a confrontation however if such behavior continues the same cannot be guaranteed.
