FATEHGARH SAHIB (KP)--Having failed to infiltrate the Hazoor Sahib Gurtagaddi celebrations, the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat members have launched a fresh operation to aide its mission to destroy the Sikh Identity.   Under the leadership of Vijay Kumar, a Sangh leader, a delegation of over eighty radicals visited the holy shrine of Fatehgarh Sahib and caused sacrilege to Sikh beliefs and values when they openly propogated RSS ideology.

RSS Fundamentalists hold meeting within Fatehgarh Sahib Premises 

According to reports received by Panthic Weekly, the Badals & Co. worked to ensure that the RSS infiltrators were well received at Fatehgarh Sahib by the management committee.  At first, they were allowed to enter the shrine wearing caps and half-pants. To the surprise of the congregation, several of these members were warmly welcomed with siropas. After being welcomed, these radicals went outside to the parkarma to hold a meeting where they raised pro-RSS slogans and delivered speeches and poems.  According to press reports. ‘Har Har Mahadev’ slogans within the Gurdwara Sahib premises by the RSS activists.

The Sikh Sangat that was present there decided to intervene as the RSS propaganda was said to be blasphemous in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s parkash inside the Darbar Sahib.  A small clash happed on the spot, however no serious consequences arose as the propaganda by the right-wing hindutva radicals was halted at once.  The case was referred to the management committee of Fatehgarh Sahib however no immediate action was taken.  The case was further forwarded to the SGPC, where it was submitted to a three member panel led by Karnail S. Panjoli.

SGPC Panel Buries Investigation Report 

Although an official investigation has been allegedly carried out by the SGPC Panel, its members have refused to disclose any information at this point.  After a recent program in Amritsar Sahib, when Karnail S. Panjoli was questioned by the press in regards to the Fatehgarh Sahib incident, he refused to share any information.

According to Panthic circles, it is highly unlikely that the SGPC will take any action against the Fatehgarh Sahib Management or issue any statement condemning the acts by the RSS terrorists, mainly because of the evident involvement of senior Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) members.  Furthermore, this is not the first time that pro-RSS activities have been held at SGPC controlled Gurdwara Sahibs.

The Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh is known to interfere in Sikh matters persistently.  It’s infiltration during the ‘Rath-Yatra’ is widely known and the ‘Hinduization of Sikh Fath’ – a series of articles published by the Panthic Weekly give further details of RSS motives.
