shaheediyan Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Sorry, I may have missed it above, but could someone please provide a name/contact number of a trusted person whom dontations for the family can be entrusted to, for those that want to help. Many thanks. It's nice to hear everyone (English folk) at my workplace unanimously and genuinely takling of Bhai Sahib as a hero and feeling for his family in India. Inside, most ordinary person (irrelevant of background) are inspired by Singh Sahibs decision to stand up to thuggery.

jaikaara Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 this is good that we all have a heart to help this great Singh veer who sacrificed his life for a cause of righteousness, we also need to pressurise the law agencies to have a probe in this matter and the criminals to be brought to the book of law. We should promise ourselves that we will not let this sacrifice go waste. There should be efforts from all of us to bring justice and 'avenge' the death of our singh veer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Truth is, compared to more affluent areas murders are not infrequent in the East End and surrounding areas. I'm sure the police (or at least I hope) will be scouring the ever growing cctv cameras in the area. The fool that did this probably never expected to be chased down and probably thought that this would be a quick snatch and grab. The incident also brings to mind how quickly a well placed blow with a shaster can end a life. I don't think Singh was expecting the guy to be armed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedol Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 A very sad occurrence. It is better to assess the situation first. Many petty criminals carry knives and would be prepared to stab a man for less than a handbag. Cops wear stabproof gear while on duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Brother, although I understand your intention, I have to say I can't help but feel that this recent trend by UK Sikhs to initiate petitions to the government, which then get a few hundred signatures (sometimes less), is counterproductive. Sikh Sangat are notorious for this. We need to find more effective methods. No disrespect. Edited January 14, 2010 by dalsingh101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaikaara Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 i agree with you dal veera , the only motive is spreading word about this keeping it fresh in HEADS which are otherwise forgetful. What happened to the burning of the Gurdwara sahib incident ? its now long forgotten. there is a lot of anger inside veera...i wish i could something more . you suggest me what can i do ? i am away in India. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Jaikara veera, I know what you mean. I don't live a million miles away from the incident so it's given me extra cause for thought and it is hard not to feel somewhat down as well as angry about it. I haven't got any solution other than listening to Sukhmani Sahib brother. Knife crime and violence by youths is not uncommon in the area. I think the brother being from back home may have been a bit innocent to this. I'm sure there will be some formal way to contribute towards the families financial security announced soon.

Maha Singh Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I heard on the radio last night that 3 people were arrested in connection to this stabbing.

SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have been informed by the gurdwara that the body will be released early next week to be sent back. They are planning a formal programme in his honour, inc Akhand/Sehej Paath and kirtan. Date to be announced. Re: Donations/Funds First off please DO NOT start giving money to any Tommy, Bittu or Hari Singh who claims to be collecting on behalf of the family. On SS.com someone posted the Mama's mobile number to send money to. Don't do this! I don't think he really wants to be chatting to strangers at the moment about monies. The gurdwara is asking people to hold off giving money to them for the time being. It is not just a straightforward as you think. They need to set up infrastructure with bank a/c's in UK and India, issue reciepts, and generally account for any donations etc. (I'm sure the last thing they want is for the sangat to be accusing the committee of 'hera-pheri' with the money. They are planning, at this stage to have the sangat donate any money on the day of the programme only, where it will be counted and deposited in bank a/c straight away. If however , you want to give money sooner (not advised) or later then ensure you get a reciept and make cheques payable to "Singh Sabha London East Gurdwara". There are certain organisations collecting for the family. as far as I'm aware, they haven't been authorised. If you do donate through them again make sure you get receipts. Any further questions - fire away! PS if someone with an account with SS.com could post this there it would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
