First, Inder Singh Ghagaa is banned by Akal Takht, our supreme body, from doing any parchar in gurdwaras because of his anti Sikh and anti Gurmat parchar. He is also banned from doing parchar in Germany, U.K. and Canada.
Secondly, many police reports were made and police were informed of potential problems, should Ghagaa take the stage. It would be in direct defiance to Akal Takht order to maintain the sanctity of our gurdwaras. The police cautioned that they don’t want any trouble and allowed the prog to go on. Hence for half and hour only Simran was done by the sanggat.
Thirdly, a petition was prepared to be given to the president. The petition had clearly spelt out Ghagaa’s banned order. But because the president came in late, around 7.15pm, it couldn’t be handed in time.
Fourthly, since the program was allowed to go on by the management authority, the sanggat did Simran for half hour, which was done in gusto and everyone enjoyed and felt at peace.

Fifth, at around 7.35pm, ardas was done and the hukumnama taken. The hukumnama was “Koi janeh kawan eeha jag meet” on pg 700. The Deg was served and the coming programs announced by Daaljit Singh.
Sixth, the Jaap was continued. Many of us decided to move after Ghagaa was escorted out. Many of us felt complacent at that time and let down our guard. Just as Ghagaa was leaving, being escorted by his team, behind him a young boy sitting in the sanggat
went for Ghagaa for reasons only known to him. As Ghagaa was in front and his team behind him, he was shielded from the attack. They was a scuffle and within seconds it developed into a huge commotion as every one joined in to separate the parties. Now, during the scuffle, whose hand had hit which party/parties turban(s) and in what way, I can safely say unless there is a proper video recording, no one can say for sure. So let us not speculate and assume.
Seventh, the Akal Takht is our supreme body and its orders are to be obeyed without question. We have been taught this from birth. So who disobeyed this order to break the sanctity of our gurdwaras.
Ghagaa is banned from doing parchar in gurdwaras for his anti Sikh and anti Gurmat stands. Who had brought him into our country to destroy the harmony and peace among our Sikh community. Who is responsible to create all these ill feelings and disharmony among the whole Sikh community living in this country for the last 150 years by introducing new doctrines, home made slogans to rhyme with Gurbani but in reality are against our Sikh Reht Maryada (SRM).
Brothers, Malaysian Gurdwaras Council (MGC) has failed, Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia (SNSM) has failed, Asia Samachar has failed, Coalition o Malaysian Sikh Organisations (CMSO) has failed, many individuals having leadership positions have failed, other functioning bodies are unaware or too small or simply refused to stop this tide to be in sync and tow the line of Akal Takht our supreme body. The gathering (on 1 March) was done simply by concerned members who felt pain in their hearts and rose to the occasion to stop Ghagaa from doing katha.
There are two bodies that have been constantly blamed for no reasons at all. They are the only two bodies that are steady as a rock and stand like a mountain and refuse to give in to this tide of tacitly been lead down the road of these new anti Gurmat and defiance to orders from Akal Takht our supreme body.
The two bodies are Sant Attar Singh Ji Brahm Vidya Niketan Malaysia and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Academy (SGGS Academy). I stand with them as now required.
So please do not misunderstand the motives of these two bodies Niketan and SGGS Academy. They work towards the harmony and peace among the whole Sikh community in Malaysia.
Lakhbir Singh, a former granthi and now a property consultant, is actively involved in Sikh activities, including in amrit sanchaar jathas.
