Gurdwara Baba Sang, Saint pauls road, High Street, Smethwick, West Midlands, B66 1EE


This Gurdwara is rated it has 3 annual Dasam Granth Akhand Pahts a year. The Bani Of the tenth Guru is so wonderful and enlighting.


Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindrawale " Those Sikhs who doubt the Dasam Granth are fools and should have been born as donkeys, then at least the Panth would have been able to put them to some use"

People read Dasam bani as part of their nitnem and take amrit made from some dasam bani and then they dont believe in dasam granth. WHAT WEIRDOS

Women trys taking Singhs Dastar off in restaurant

Hoboken, NJ (January 30, 2008) - A Sikh man was assaulted by a restaurant patron who tried to remove his turban in public on Tuesday evening. Before her arrest, Hansdip Singh's attacker told him that she had a problem with his turban and wanted him to remove it immediately.

Hansdip Singh had been dining at the Madison Grill in Hoboken, New Jersey on January 29, 2008. While standing in the restaurant, a woman behind him grabbed a hold of his turban and attempted to pry it from his head. She had almost succeeded by the time Hansdip turned around to confront her. When he did so, the woman remarked that she had a problem with "that stuff" on his head, and told him to "take it off." When Hansdip refused, the woman became more difficult, and the Hoboken Police Department was called in. Police officers arrested the woman on the spot, and have charged her with harassment and bias intimidation.

The Coalition commends the Hoboken Police Department for its quick response to the attack. We will work with the local country prosecutor to ensure the attack is prosecuted as a hate crime.

This is not the first hate attack against a Sikh in New Jersey. The Sikh Coalition's online database has logged 47 incidents of bias against Sikhs since September 11, 2001.

We urge all Sikhs to practice their faith fearlessly. If you or someone you know is a victim of bias harassment, please report it to legal@sikhcoalition.org.

Disgusting behavior by police aka pigs

The Punjab Police today came to the aid of their counterparts in Haryana and assisted the latter in their hunt to find former Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) terrorist Baksheesh Singh — the prime suspect behind the attempt on the life of Dera Sacha Sauda head Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

Soon after the attack near Nilokheri in Karnal district of Haryana yesterday, both Punjab and Haryana have stepped up their vigil. The police raided several places in Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib districts. Special teams had also been sent to Uttar Pradesh, sources said.

A senior police official said a team comprising investigative officers of the Haryana police had arrived in Patiala last night. With the help of Punjab Police officials they conducted a combing operation in and around Patiala and in some nearby villages. These include Baksheesh Singh’s village Rago Majra and a religious place in the area.

In Sirhind the police scanned some villages, including Majri Akalian village.The police believes that the manner in which the explosive material was used to trigger an explosion in the spare tyre of the truck, it was clear that the job was that of a highly trained person. The police believes that the entire operation was masterminded by Baksheesh, who has been on bail since 2003.

Both Punjab and Haryana governments are keeping a close watch on the situation in the two states after angry dera supporters in their protest tried to block roads any many places in Haryana, including the national highway No. 1 in Ambala and Karnal. They had also set some vehicles on fire and resorted to violence.

PATIALA: The Haryana police failed to lay their hands on Baksheesh in their early morning swoop on his Raghomajra Colony residence.

A team of Haryana police headed by two DSPs conducted a raid on the residence of Baksheesh, originally hailing from Nizamniwala village, near Samana, at around 4.30 am but had to return empty handed. His wife Paramjit Kaur told the police that her husband had left for Nanded in Maharashtra on January 17. After this, the teams comprising two DSPs and 18-20 other officials subsequently conducted raids at some other places in the city.

The Haryana police, "it was learnt, was yet to ascertain whether he was involved in the blast or not"

Though said to be a terror outfit sympathiser, Baksheesh, sources said, he had distanced himself from the separatist movement during the past more than a decade. He had shifted his family from his native village and started life afresh in Patiala as a taxi driver.

Meanwhile, the Patiala police has thrown a security cordon around his house amid apprehensions that it might be attacked by dera chief’s followers.

The state police has launched a massive manhunt to nab Bakhsheesh Singh, the suspected mastermind behind the attack on Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. The police said he was a former member of the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF).

It also confirmed that RDX was used in the attack, in which no causality was reported. The explosive material, weighing about 2 kg, was set in the rear stepney of a 10-tyre truck passing alongside the chief’s cavalcade.

Addressing mediapersons here today, Karnal SSP A.S. Chawala said originally hailing from Samana in Patiala, Bakhsheesh was currently residing in Patiala town. Bakhsheesh had been released on bail in 2003.

His name was figured during the interrogation of the truck driver and cleaner, namely Swaran Singh and Mahinder Singh, who had allegedly executed the blast from the truck.

Chawala revealed that about five to six days back, the accused had reportedly cut his hair and beard.

Wanted in certain cases, the SSP said the alleged accused was directed to report at Kotwali police station in Patiala after every 15 days. He had last visited the police station on January 17.

The police was in touch with other states and had been raiding the probable hideouts of the prime accused. He, however, refused to furnish further details.

Chawala said the bomb was linked to the truck’s battery for detonation. The truck driver and cleaner tried to run away from the scene, but dera followers overpowered them and handed them over to the police.

Frontline Comments:

Is this Singhs name being mentioned, just due to an old vendetta?

Was the suspect’s interrogated or tortured?

During the raids did the police commit any crime?

How comes that rahim geeza is not in remand?

2 Singhs enter a burning building to Get Maharaj Saroop out of there!
