Sikh Council of Gurdwaras Birmingham Betray the Sikhs

It is well known that only people that believe in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as the living Guru are Sikhs. Namdharis who are a cult which openly call Guru Ji a book and believe in a human Guru are allowed to have stalls in the Handsworth park mela. On one hand they diss the Sikh Guru and on the other hand they make money out of us. Pritams sweet centre (Namdahri Business) probably make more money on that one day then they do all year round from the sangat. But these are the same people that tell us our father is not our father, so indirectly calling us bastards. Where is our Honour?

The Nazi regime of India has attacked our temples, people, religion and identity for years. They have killed and imprisoned thousands of innocent Sikh civilians. They oppress our people and deny us our human rights, yet in these melas we openly allow the sale of India flags and India T-shirts. Where is out honour? At smethwick mela some clowns dressed up as the Punjab police which hurt Sikh sentiments; because of the crimes commited on the Sikh Nation by the Punjab police in the 1980's to 1990's (Fake police encounters, torture, false confessions, rape and murder)

Last year at both smethick and handsworth melas innocent bystanders were attacked and injured with serious injuries. At smethick 8 youth from a local Muslim gang attacked women, elderly and children. Did the Sikh council provide support or compensation? At handsworth young bystanders were injured in the massive sword fight; were them victims given any support?

At handsworth mela last year bystanders who were only defending themselves against the rampage that occurred were arrested and hit with police batons; was there any compensation to the victims of police brutality?

At handsworth mela, the gang called Aston panthers come in with their dogs and intimidate and humiliate the sangat. They make sexual advances to our sisters and mothers infront of their male-counter parts and make a mockery of the Singhs. Why aren’t tickets sold to allow entrance into the mela?

A year on and no apologies or statements have been made by the Sikh Council of Gurdwaras in Birmingham. We spend 80 thousand pound and what do we have to show apart from disrespect and humiliation. If you want to have a mela, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee should not be present and a more responsible approach is needed. Tickets for entrance should be sold in Gurdwaras etc

We ask all the Sikh Sangat to boycott the Mela until the Sikh Council have agreed not to take Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to the Park. All organisations really need to think twice before they partake in any Seva; because is it really seva that they are doing if disrespect is the outcome?
