  1. This gathering is for new year>they are neither supporters of panthpreet nor in favour of purewal calendar.

    Panthpreet is a missionary, a friend of ghagha and a known opponent of Dasam bani

  2. Bahout wadhiaa uddam–i really appreciate this step of Bhai Panthpreet Singh jee & others who cooperated this cause. I advocate if this effort could become a mass movement for liberating Gurudwaraas from the clutches of baa-dull landar laana..Let us unitedly win this goal.

  3. Does the Khalsa Panth only consist of these people? What isit? 100? 200? 300 people? Is that how big the Khalsa Panth is?

    The main people leading this are known for jumping from one Jathebandi to the other. One man Jathebandi’s thinking they represent the entire Panth?

    These same people question Gurbani, and the Guru, who are they to represent the entire Khalsa Panth?

    If these guys had a real following they would have made a real difference by now, at least Sant Samaj and Damdami Taksal managed to establish the 1984 memorial, what have these guys done? Yet they alone claim to be the Panth?
