Sikh community leader Hans Singh dies aged 87

 Hans Singh

Scottish Sikh community leader Hans Singh has died at the age of 87.

Mr Singh, from Glasgow, was a major force behind the opening of the country's first Sikh temple.

He also successfully campaigned for Sikhs to be exempt from having to wear motorcycle helmets while they were wearing a turban.

Mr Singh, who is survived by his wife Parsin Kaur and three of their four children, died peacefully on Christmas Day.

A mathematics graduate from the Punjab University Lahore, he and his wife settled in Glasgow in 1948 after emigrating from Armritsar in India.

He was a prominent figure within the Sikh community, and was secretary of the Guru Granth Sahib Gurdwara in Nithsdale Road for 15 years.

SAD ( Badal ) First list of candidates for DSGMC elections


Sehajdhari Sikh party to take part in gurdwara elections, says party president

BARNALA: Sehajdhari Sikh Party president Paramjit Singh Ranu has said the party will seek votes for Sikh candidates of good moral values in the ensuing elections to Delhi Sikh Gurdwara managing committee(DSGMC).

The DSGMC elections are to be held in January 2013.

Ranu said "after Punjab and Haryana's high court verdict of restoring voting right to Sehajdharis and no stay granted by the Supreme Court in an SLP by SGPC, Sehajdharis stand allowed to take part in DSGMC elections".

Ranu clarified that those who are baptized after partaking Amrit are the Amritdharis and all others who are followers of Guru Granth sahib and are non-baptized are the Sehajdharis irrespective of unshorn hairs or shaved beards.

He claimed about 85% of total Sikh population across the world comprises non-baptized Sikhs and ignoring them in Gurdwara elections is unjustified.

Ranu said that a five members committee which includes Haryana unit president, Darshan Singh Gurgaon, youth wing presidents, Jagtar Singh Hissowal, Jagtar Singh Dhaliwal, Manjit Singh Sanghera and Advocate Ranjit Singh has been constituted to study the election scene at Delhi.

This team will identify good candidates for the elections and will plan the election strategy.
