GURDWARA EXPOSED!
“Guru Arjan Dev Ji Shaheedi†Sports & Cultural Tournament organised by:
Sri Guru Singh Sabha London East
For several years Sangat has been trying to stop this tournament where the following happens:
1) Excessive Alcohol & Drug Abuse
2) Rowdy and Violent Behaviour
3) Langar from Gurdwara is distributed alongside meat and alcohol
4) Misuse of Gurdwara Funds
Is this what Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji & Sikh Shaheeds lived and died for?
This Gurdwara committee are the Massands of today. They refuse to address the concerns of the Sangat. They are misusing the offerings from Sangat. They partake in the alcohol & drug abuse on the day of the tournament. They profit from the tournament.
This is the future of our community at stake. Do we want people who abuse their roles as community leaders?
This abuse of power has to stop and as Sadh Sangat this is your chance to make a difference in your local area. The committee is responsible to YOU all of the local Sadh Sangat. The tournament highlights the extent to which this committee is not capable of promoting Sikhism within the local area.
Things will not change unless we try to do something about it. If you have love for Guruji and call yourself a Sikh then it’s your problem.

everyone should ring and tell the committee what they think.
some ideas:
explain to them that meat and alcohol are prohibited for all sikhs.
ask them would they let someone under the influence of alcohol enter their Gurdwara?? if they wouldn't then how can they provide langar for people who are drunk.
why does the Gurdwara need to be involved in organising this event?
how much sangat money is ploughed into the event?
who's money is used for langar?
