Interview of Dera Spokesperson



In the interview he is asking about the issue to reporter, this is the issue... http://jaspreetsingh.blogspot.com/2007/05/why-sikhs-are-angry.html

Dera Jhuta Sauda - Know them..

I think people here dont know the reality of DERA SACHA SAUDA. This would give them some idea.

I will like to tell all members what I saw & heard on TV.

A reporter of INDIA Tv asked secreatery of Dr. Aditya, spokeperson of Dera : "When Dera says it is a religious & humanity movement why the Dera supported Congress in assembly election, why is Dera doing politics?"

you all will be surprised with the answer of Dr. Aditya which is exteremely insult of Hindus & Sikhs.

Dr. Aditya: "You tell me who had not done politics. Ram killed a person with the help of different species(Vanars) wasn't that politics? Krishan helped Arjun in Mahabharat wasn't that politics? Guru Gobind singh created his own army to fight mughals wasn't that politics? This is my answer to you question."

Dera Sachha Sauda, supremeo, Gurmeet Ram Raheem is a criminal. They have there headquarter in Sirsa(Haryana). So many criminal cases are filed against him which includes murders, rapes, extortism(Even a CBI inquiry is going on against him). He has Congress backing.

They are misleading so many Hindus & Sikhs and diverting both of them from their religions (Converting them to their self-made SACHA religion and making them so called INSAAN and we saw their insaaniyat on Monday when they were throwing stones and beating Punjab Police and Media persons in Bathinda).

Punjab happening - get the true picture

1. This is not an issue of Akalis going for a revenge. Anyone in power would not ask for the trouble. This is a case of Sikh sentiments being hurt.

(News channels have repeatedly being saying that its a fight over faith between Dera and Akali Sikhs. This is totally false! It's a fight between "All Sikhs" and the Dera)

2. The instigation has deliberately been done by the Dera Baba who has tried to imitate the tenth Master of the Sikhs.

3. Its not just dress code, he has tried to play and mimic with the teachings of the Guru Sahib- instituting his own style amrit like
- he has 7 persons for his sharabat first and Guru Gobind Singh ji has panj pyare (5 beloved ones)
- he asked his followers to use "Insaan" with their names and everyone know that it was Guru Gobind Singh ji who asked Sikhs to use Singh (for males) and Kaur (for females) with their names.

and unfortunately just the way it happened in 1978 that led to operation bluestar and then 84 riots.

4. Anyone Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian who has slightest knowledge of Sikhism can easily make out the intentions behind the ads.

5. The Dera followers were aware of the instigation and were prepared for the Sikh reactions. within hours of Sikh Protest 12000 Dera followers came armed and created havoc in Bathinda. Most of them were armed with same size of lathis as reported by News Channel.

6. The congress behind these instigations and trouble is factually proven by photgraphs and videos, as almost 6 congress MLAs were part of the mob which created havoc in Bathinda.

7. Tolerance does not mean that you demean the prophets of any religion and then ask the people not to react. And mind it the reactions by Sikhs have been democratic and mostly peaceful.

8. There were 1.5 lakh Sikhs yesterday at Sabo ki Talvandi to protest against the Deras misendeavors. Has there been any violence or damage to public property? What more can be the tolerance?

9. It was Dera followers who opened fire to the crowd coming back from Talwandi Sabo. Their Dera is on the main road and they opened fire, killing 1 Sikh (Kamaljit Singh) and injuring several others. How come Dera followers got armed with guns and ammunition?

10. Dera followers distributing lathis (sticks) and collecting stones was shown in one of the news channel on Thursday evening.

11. There are hundreds of Deras running in Punjab and never ever the Sikhs harassed or protested against them. Yes unless these Deras have tried to deliberately play with Sikh sentiments.

12. I would request all to support Sikh sentiments and expose this Dera.

13. I would also request Sikh bretheren to not to play in the hands of politicians. Let us maintain our composure and peacefully protest against the Dera Head's misadventure.

Blast in Hyderabad mosque kills 5

Five people were and 32 others injured when a powerful bomb exploded during Friday prayers at the historic Mecca mosque in the Charminar area of Hyderabad.

Two live bombs were also detected from the spot soon after the explosions and were defused.

Reports suggest the blast was caused by a crude bomb, perhaps activated by a cell phone, which exploded when thousands of people were gathered in the mosque for prayers.

A central forensic team has been sent to Hyderabad to help determine the cause of the blast.

The injured have been rushed to Osmania and other hospitals by the worshippers in whatever modes of transport they could arrange.

Following the blast, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore have been put on high alert.

Angry outburst

The explosion created such a panic that those gathered for the prayers started running towards the exit gate of the mosque, said to be over 400-years-old and considered sacred by Muslims.

According to the police, the motive for the blast, which was caused by unsophisticated device, is still not clear.

A large posse of police personnel, who arrived on the scene, faced an angry crowd.

They pelted stones at the shops in the vicinity and the police, who resorted to lathicharge to disperse the crowd.

The crowds have cleared now and all shops have been are shut, the area looks like a fortess.

Close watch

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajshekhar Reddy, who is in Delhi, spoke to the DGP Basith and other senior state government officials to take stock of the situation.

Addressing the media, Reddy said the police was trying to bring the situation back to normal.

''When AP is going on forward march of progress, such incidents will hinder progress,'' he added.

Blaming anti-social elements, he pointed out that the blast was an intentional sabotage of the peace of the state. He has announced an ex-gratia of Rs five lakh for those killed and Rs 25,000 for those injured.

Home Minister Jana Reddy said that police reinforcements are being sent to the area and the situation will be brought under control.

The Centre is also keeping a close watch on the situation in Hyderabad.

The Union Home Ministry is in constant touch with the state government officials to monitor the situation.

Dera People Interviewed

Brave Sikhs made 40 dacoits run away



You might think this is a scene straight out of a Hindi film. While 40 dacoits are trying to break a window grill that would lead them into a bungalow, the 50-year-old house owner and his 25-year-old son hold on to it with all the power at their command; 25 minutes later, the onslaught of the thieves still on, the owner pulls out his final weapon of resistance -- the kirpan -- and threatens to kill. The sight of the kirpan so frightens the dacoits that they beat a quick retreat.

Belapur resident Sarabjeet Singh Bhullar and his son Baljeet fought off 40 dacoits for 25 minutes in this fashion on Tuesday morning and finally forced them to flee, Amar Jadhav, deputy commissioner of police (zone I), Navi Mumbai, said.

Police said the dacoits belonged to the same gang that has carried out a series of dacoities in Thane and Navi Mumbai in the last one month.

According to police, at around 3.30 am, Bhullar Sr and Jr, who live with six other family members — their wives and four children of Baljeet — in their 1,800 sq ft bungalow in Sector 8B, heard loud thuds from near the window close to their main door.

When they opened the window and looked out, they saw 40 men had entered their compound and were hurling huge stones at the window grill in an attempt to break it. Fearing the grill would give way, the father-son duo held on to it with all their might, while their wives began making frantic calls to the cops and their relatives.

“In order to stop this resistance, the dacoits began to target us. They hit us with bamboo sticks and stones,” Bhullar Sr said. While he was hit behind his left ear by a big stone, the son was struck on the head several times and on the knees. They still refused to budge.

The one thing that kept them going, Bhullar Jr said, was the thought of family. “We were sure that if the dacoits entered the home, they would kill us all. They seemed capable of doing anything,” he said.

The struggle continued for 25 minutes, police said, but the neighbours, woken by the sounds, did not help. Sensing that the thugs would not retreat, Bhullar Sr, bleeding and in considerable pain, drew out his kirpan and threatened to kill the dacoits if they did not go away. “I recited our holy prayer and drew out my kirpan. I was serious about going after them. I did not have an option, really,” he noted.

Almost unbelievably, the kirpan did the trick: the dacoits, looking scared, decided to retreat. Bhullar Sr now has nine stitches behind his ears and his son has bruises on his hands and knees.

Ramrao Wagh, commissioner of Navi Mumbai police said: “The Bhullars were very brave throughout the ordeal. But I wish the neighbours had also come out to help.”

The cops arrived soon after, but by that time the dacoits were out of sight.

The gang then went to Sector 8A, barged into the ground-floor homes of two families, and walked away with jewellery and cash. However, a police team, on the chase, managed to arrested two of the gang members: Ambadas Pawar, 40, and Deepak Pawar, 25.

One of the two houses robbed by the gang belonged to Kamlaben Mehta, 73. Mehta, who was at home with her daughter Manjula, 44, said more than 20 dacoits broke open the door of their home with a huge boulder and took away valuables.

Soon after, they broke open the neighbouring house, which belongs to her other daughter, Anita Bhatkar. The dacoits took away cash and valuables worth Rs 2 lakh from the two houses, police said.

Burning Punjab



On Monday May 14, members of the Nihang sect clashed with supporters of Dera Sachcha Sauda after their leader wore an attire similar to that of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji, the tenth Sikh Guru in a baptising ceremony three days ago.

Bhatinda: A protest by followers of Dera Sacha Sauda, a Sikh religious sect, in Punjab turned violent in Bhatinda with the supporters of Dera head Baba Gurmeet Singh Ram Raheem torching a police jeep.

They were protesting the burning of the effigy of the Dera chief by the Akalis on Monday.

The trouble began after newspaper advertisements allegedly showed Baba Gurmeet Singh Ram Raheem attired like 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh and the Akalis protested the advertisements that also showed the Dera head distributing "amrit".

Tensions had been brewing between the ruling Akalis and Dera supporters ever since Dera supporters were told to vote for the Congress in the recent Assembly polls. The Congress had done well in the Malwa belt following the dictate.

The situation is also tense in Amritsar where the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex Sikh body, had a meeting but no decision has been taken by them.

Many expected them to come out with an edict that would have seen the Sikhs taken a confrontational stance against the Dera followers.

The Dera has massive support among Dalit Sikhs and played a major role in the 2005 Punjab Assembly polls.

BJP leaders like Navjot Singh Sidhu and Arun Jaitley had even approached the Dera head for his blessings so that he would withdraw an edict that his followers should vote for the Congress.

In fact in the Punjab polls, Congress had done well in the Malwa region which includes districts of Bhatinda, Ferozepur, Muktsar, Sangrur, Moga, Mansa where Dera has following and Congress recovered lost ground.

According to sources Dera had a trade-off with Congress during the polls to go slow on a murder case against Dera head of a journalist Chatrapati in 2002. Two persons suspected of killing him were found with a walkie-talkie which had Dera Sacha Sauda written on it.

Letter to "The Hindu"

From

Vinayak
Tamil Nadu
India - 610001

To
The Editor
The Hindu,
859\860 Anna Salai,
Chennai - 600 002

Dear Editor

This has reference to your news item at
http://www.hindu.com/2007/05/12/stories/2007051219930300.htm on the DV act

Your news paper is known for accuracy in reporting and high standards.
Please do NOT associate your name with casual researchers who have NOT understood ground realities. Your news paper should NOT be misleading your readers.

The researcher in the above article claims "Delhiites continue to have misconceptions about the law" and goes on to state that people in Delhi are worried about the Misuse of DV [Domestic Violence Act] act

This researcher has drawn completely wrong conclusions while the public at large are right in concluding that Domestic Violence act is being and will be misused.

The Indian family is the bedrock of our traditions and continuity since vedic times. Since time immemorial our families have ensured the continuation of our scriptures and traditions. Vedas and prabhandhams and thirumarais and thiruvaimozi passed from father to son. Our culture passed from mother to daughter.

Rama was always revereared WITH Sita, Lakmana, Bharatha, Chatruguna and Hanuman.

All this being challenged by Ultra feminist and male hating agenda which has led to the gender biased, wife supporting legislation like the DV act

Even before the DV act was promulgated, section 498A of IPC was grossly misused

I am sure that eminent speakers like Cho N Ramaswamy, eminent Jurists like the Honbl. Shri Markandeya Katju, the Supreme court of India and others have spoken against the gross misuse of the Section 498A of IPC - also dubbed as false dwory cases

While false dowry cases are piling in court corridors, the DV act is another draconian law, which

- allows ONLY women to file complaints

- makes ONLY men punishable (by virtue of being defendants)

and completely ignores the fundamental righs guaranteed to all citizens, be it men, be it elderly parents of men or their siblings

[...there are many more anomalies in this hasty and shoddy piece of
legislation.....]

I urge you immediately remove such "snake oil" from your august pages and also publish a corrigendum immediately dis associating yourself from such spurious reports and self styled researches

Regards
Vinayak
