This was forwarded to me by SPN member Tejwant Singh ji Malik, though I knew of this story yesterday from Gyani Jarnial Singh ji "Arshi" The story published in Punjabi in Rozanna Spokesman, has been translated by Kirpal Singh (USA).
I do hope that we can make sense of this development. It betrays logic and sense.
In the Rozana Spokesman of June 13
S. Tarlochan Singh Dupalpur of San Jose has reported as follows;
“In the Sikh circles this news will be read with a lot of sadness that in the city of Rochester located in the New York State, a local judge has clamped a ban on the entry of all Amritdhari Sikhs into the Gurdwara of Rochester. And the tragedy of the situation is that this ban has not been clamped upon the request of any non-Sikh Society or organization. Rather this ban has been gotten clamped by the present day Clean Shaven Organizers of this Gurdwara.

Bhai Simranjit Singh and Bhai Ajit Singh related to this Gurdwara has reported that in the month of February this year, the present day Gurdwara Organizers very silently and secretly; by presenting the Gurdwara as a Private Chruch in legal papers, had gotten it declared as a private property. And then in reaction to the Sangat’s anger to such a surprise move, the Organizers filed a case in the local court complaining that” the Sikh with Turbans and Kirpans are bothering us.”
According to the Sikh congregates, it were Santokh Badesha, Bhupinder Mehta, and Maghar Channa, the three Clean Shaven Trustees who have submitted their affidavits in the court stating that for a Sikh there is no requirement to be a Sabat Soorat or to be an Amritdhari. All that one need is the internal Sikhi.
The Trustee by the name of Harbhajan Purewal has also submitted a similar affidavit. The Organizers of this Gurdwara are intentionally distorting the Sikhs traditions and practices. Furthermore, Badesha, who personally never wears a turban, always makes fun of the Sikh principles even in his normal general talk. According to Bhai Ajit Singh, Badesha always describes the Turbaned Sikhs as dwarf minded.
It should be remembered that it is the same Gurdwara, where after a conspiratorial distortion of Prof Darshan Singh’s CD a complaint was sent against him to Akal Takhat.
The local Sikh Sangat of this Gurdwara has appealed to the entire Sikh World to help them out in this dire situation, in order to put a stop to the out-of-control activities of the present day organizers. …. (Translated from the Original Punjabi News attached herewith)
