Merit of this case should be determined by law than punjabi samosa style radio station politics which is unneccesary dividing sangat by victim/accused fan base, since this assault took place in UK. Victim has full right to report it to authorities to get the ball rolling on legal front ie-investigation, polygraph test. Personally speaking, the fact that she is not reporting this assault to authorities make me question a) her motives b.) crediblity of this case all together.
Punjabi community members need to be educated on law so they are well aware their basic rights along with their other basic rights in western countries. Both alleged victim and accused needs to be understand both are innocent until proven guilty. If alleged victim commits prejury, they will face defamation law suit, punitive reputation damges and if accused is convincted, accused will also face the music. I think in general, some punjabi community members seem to think they are given some sort of divine entitlement and think they are above law in western countries- think its joke to throw at mud at someone or abuse their authority of power, abuse someone.
Western educated singhs need to make our community understand its not acceptable to start their own punjabi samosa style investigative journalism be prosecutor, judge and jury as alleged accused is innocent until proven guilty and same goes as rumors defamation against alleged victims and accused. If there is an assault, its quite simple- report it to legal authorities if victim fails to report to legal authorities but rather starts a smear campaign against them then accused have a right to launch a defamation legal suit against alleged victim.
He stayed with a friend of mine once, in the UK a few years ago. According to my friend, he was always up early, doing loads of paath etc ad not talking of anything but Gurbani.
Hard to tell what the truth is here, and what her motivation is for going public now. Why not charge him for harassment? He was in the UK a few weeks ago, did katha without any issues.
According to who? Based on sikh traditions from guru's time from glorious examples of guru and his sikh matryr, any peaceful political activist who gave their life for the cause is also an shaheed..Please refrain from telling us where to use shaheed and where not to use shaheed.
