DSGMC postpones office-bearers’ elections to March 28

Failing to reach consensus over certain posts, the newly elected Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) on Friday postponed the elections of its office-bearers to March 28.

Sources said Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who was the general secretary in the previous term, wanted to be re-elected to the second senior-most post of the gurdwara body, but was challenged by three other contenders: Harmeet Singh Kalka, Harmanjit Singh and Amarjeet Singh Pappu.

They staked their claim, taking the plea that the post needs to be filled by a new face. As things got chaotic, Avtar Singh Hit also staked his claim for the post of president.

As the House couldn’t reach a consensus, the elections were postponed, with Manjit Singh GK unanimously elected the pro tem chairman.

DSGMC: Bypoll for Delhi’s Sikh-dominated Rajouri Garden seat on April 9

The by election to the Sikh-dominated Rajouri Garden assembly segment in Delhi will take place on April 9. The seat fell vacant after the Aam Aadmi Party’s Jarnail Singh resigned in January 2017 to contest the Punjab assembly elections opposite Shiromani Akali Dal supremo and then chief minister Parkash Singh Badal from Lambi.

The BJP-Akali combine has fielded Manjinder Singh Sirsa in the bypoll. He is also vying for re-election to the post of general secretary of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC). Sirsa was the coalition’s choice from Rajouri Garden in the Delhi elections in December 2013 as well. Elected to the assembly in those polls, he lost the seat in January 2014 elections, despite polling 45,000 votes as compared to 41,000 in the previous elections.

Tata Tigor Style back - The New World of Style from Tata Motors

After the great Tata Hexa Experience, we again got an invite from the Tata Motors to try our hands on its new sedan – TIGOR, which is to be launched on 29^th March. 

The first look of TIGOR was quite impressive. Though its front and sides looked somewhat similar to TIAGO, its rear side looked much better than all of its competitors in this segment. A beautiful car indeed.

The headlight is a smoked type with a black treatment given to it which makes it more impressive. The side profile of the new sedan is again similar to the Tiago but it looks more beautiful than any other car of this segment. 

The slope on its back makes it a top notch sedan and quite beautiful in looks with LED stop lamps and the LED tail lamps. The petrol version has the 15 inch Alloy wheels while the Diesel version has the 14 inch alloy wheels.

Interiors again are very impressive. It has the Automatic climate control system. The infotainment system has been designed by Harman, with a five inch touch screen, eight speakers, and with the best of the sound quality in this segment. 

The steering wheel is quite sporty and adjustable, and has the telephony as well the audio controls on it. Seating system of the TIGOR also looked quite comfortable.

It has a boot space of 419 litres. Multi bar links make it easier to remove and keep the baggage while traveling. It has the 1.2 litre Revotron petrol engines with 84 bhp and the 1.05 litre Revotorq Diesel engine with 69 BHP.

We had to start from the Aerocity in Delhi, towards the Heritage Transport museum in Sohna & back but via NH 8, while returning. We were offered both the petrol as well as the Diesel versions. 

Kartik from Chennai was with me and he opted the Petrol version. The journey started and we passed from all kinds of roads that included busy ones, hilly as well the rural. The sedan performed perfectly and Kartik looked quite happy on driving it for the one side journey while I was busy in clicking the pics & videos.

While coming back I was in the driving seat and the beautiful machine that I had was a Diesel version. It was my first feel of TIGOR on the driving seat and truly it was quite impressive. The sedan was quite smooth in driving and truly very comfortable.

'Maharaja Ranjit Singh': An inspirational tale of a 'true' Sikh leader

"Sher-E-Punjab: Maharaja Ranjit Singh", an upcoming TV show that will bring into limelight the inspirational journey of Sikh leader Maharaja Ranjit Singh -- founder of the Sikh empire -- was launched here on Thursday.

Showcasing a gigantic set, especially designed by award-winning filmmaker Omung Kumar, royal costumes by Manoshi Nath and Rushi Sharma and flawless stunts executed under the guidance of popular Bollywood stunt director Allan Amin, the historical drama show, will be aired on Life OK starting from March 20.

The show will feature Punjab-based 14-year-old actor Damanpreet Singh in the title role, while actors Shaleen Bhanot and Sneha Wagh will be seen as his parents Mahaa Singh and Raj Kaur.

"He always looked up to everyone equally and ruled fairly. The beauty about his time was that he kept all enemies away and created 'akhand' (United) Punjab," Abhimanyu Singh, CEO, Contiloe Pictures, said at the launch.

"No capital punishment was given when he was the leader. Everyone was given a second chance. There was tremendous law and order. That's why we thought of making a show like this," he added.

Keeping in mind the sentiments of the Sikh community, Abhimanyu shared that they have done a lot of research for the show.

"We have followed Kushwant Singh's books. We have also followed instructions of Dr. J.S. Grewal and Gurbaksh Singh, who are prominent historians," Abhimanyu told IANS.

The launch of the show, which has been shot across locations in Rajasthan and Maharashtra, witnessed a power-packed performance by a Punjabi group on a mesmerising stag, especially designed keeping in mind the show's grandeur.

Damanpreet, who was chosen for the lead role from over 150 candidates, said playing the leader on screen is an honour for him.

"I have read about Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji in school. I am in ninth class right now. It's an honour for me to portray him on national television. My grandparents and my parents are on cloud nine these days," Damanpreet told IANS.

Shaleen, who was last seen as Duryodhana in "Suryaputra Karn", is returning to the small screen to play a positive character.

"At first I was a bit hesitant about doing "Maharaja Ranjit Singh" as I played a negative character and was on a vacation. Also playing a father sounded unusual to me, but when I heard about my character, then I thought I should not let this opportunity go away," Shaleen said.

Besides them, the show will also feature actors Rumi Khan and Sonia Singh.

Press Release : Shiromani Akali Dal, Sukhbir Badal

शिरोमणि अकाली दल

सिखों ने आप और कांग्रेस को नकार दिया-सुखबीर बादल

चंडीगढ़, १ मार्च,

शिरोमणि अकाली दल के अध्यक्ष सुखबीर बादल ने कहा है कि दिल्ली सिक्ख गुरूद्वारा मैनेजमेंट कमेटी के चुनावों में हुई दल की शानदार जीत सिखों के मन में आम आदमी पार्टी और कांग्रेस दोनों के प्रति गुस्से का परिणाम है। सिखों ने आप और कांग्रेस को पूरी तरह से नकार दिया है।

बुधवार को यहां जारी एक बयान में बादल ने कहा कि इन चुनावों ने साबित कर दिया है कि दिल्ली की संगत शिरोमणि अकाली दल के साथ है। लोगों ने राष्ट्रीय राजधानी और पंजाब में शिरोमणि अकाली दल की कार्यशैली को मुहर लगाई है। 

कमेटी चुनावों में जीत दर्ज करने वाले अकाली प्रत्याशियों को बधाई देते हुए बादल ने कहा कि यह जीत प्रत्याशियों की मेहनत और ईमानदारी का परिणाम भी है। अकाली नेता और कार्यकर्ताओं ने विरोधियों के दुष्प्रचार के बावजूद अपना हौंसला नहीं छोड़ा और संगत की निस्वार्थ में जुटे रहे। डीएसजीएमसी अध्यक्ष मनजीत सिंह जीके की प्रशंसा करते हुए बादल ने कहा कि सिख संगत को जीके को उनकी मेहनत और ईमानदारी के लिए पुरस्कृत किया है। 

बादल ने कहा कि आम आदमी पार्टी ने अकाली दल को बदनाम करने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी। यहां तक कि आप नेताओं ने पंथक सेवा दल तक की स्थापना कर चुनाव मैदान में अपने उम्मीदवार तक उतार दिए। इन नेताओं ने शिरोमणि अकाली दल पर बेबुनियाद आरोप लगाए। मगर दिल्ली के सिखों ने अकाली दल के समर्थन में फतवा देकर कर साबित कर दिया है कि सिख आम आदमी पार्टी से प्रभावित नहीं हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि यह चुनाव आने वाले चुनाव परिणामों का आईना हैं। आम आदमी पार्टी को भविष्य में भी ऐसी परिस्थितियों का सामना करना पड़ेगा। 

कांग्रेस पर बरसते बादल ने कहा कि दिल्ली चुनावों में विरोधी पक्ष के उम्मीदवार परमजीत सिंह सरना कांग्रेस के फरमाबरदार हैं। इन चुनावों में सरना ने दिल्ली की सिख संगत को मूर्ख बनाने की पूरी कोशिश की। मगर सरना और कांग्रेस की पुरानी करतूतों ने उन्हें कहीं का नहीं छोड़ा। उन्हें शर्मनाक हार का सामना करना पड़ा है। 

दिल्ली के सिखों को भरोसा जताते हुए बादल ने कहा कि शिरोमणि अकाली दल अपने सभी वादों को अक्षरक्ष पूरा करेगा। डीएसजीएमसी इस बार पहले से भी अधिक जोश से सिखों की सेवा के लिए तैयार है। उन्होंने दिल्ली चुनावों में जीत दर्ज करने वाले सभी उम्मीदवारों की वीरवार को सुबह 11 बजे एक बैठक का आह्वान किया है।

ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਟਿੱਪਣੀ ਕਾਰਦਿਆਂ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਪਰਮਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਰਨਾ ਦੀ ਅਗਵਾਈ ਵਾਲਾ ਧੜਾ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਦੀ ਸੱਜੀ ਬਾਂਹ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਧੜੇ ਨੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਵੋਟਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉੱਲੂ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਪੂਰੀ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਪੂਰੀ ਵਾਹ ਲਾਈ ਸੀ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਪਰ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਪਾਰਟੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਹੀ ਸਰਨਾ ਧੜੇ ਦੇ ਮਾੜੇ ਅਤੀਤ ਨੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਘੇਰਾ ਪਾ ਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਰਮਨਾਕ ਹਾਰ ਦਾ ਮੂੰਹ ਦੇਖਣਾ ਪਿਆ।

ਸ਼ ਬਾਦਲ ਨੇ  ਸਿੱਖ ਵੋਟਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਯਕੀਨ ਦਿਵਾਇਆ ਕਿ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਕੀਤੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਵਾਅਦੇ ਪੂਰੇ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਦਿੱਲੀ ਕਮੇਟੀ ਸਿੱਖ ਭਾਈਚਾਰੇ ਦੀ ਭਲਾਈ ਲਈ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਵਧੇਰੇ ਜੋਸ਼ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਮ ਕਰੇਗੀ।

Shiromani Akali Dal

DSGMC results proof of complete rejection of both AAP and Cong by Sikh electorate - 

Sukhbir Badal

Chandigarh, March 1 - Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the overwhelming victory of the SAD in elections to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) was proof of the complete rejection of both AAP and the Congress party amongst the Sikh community.

In a statement here, the SAD president said the elections also proved that the Sikh community of Delhi was with the SAD and appreciated the work done by the party in both the national capital as well as Punjab.

Mr Badal while congratulating the akali rank and file who he said had worked assiduously to ensure the SAD victory in Delhi, said the akali cadre deserved fulsome praise for steadfastly ignoring the negative propaganda unleashed by its opponents. Mr Badal also praised the stellar work done by DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK which he said was aptly rewarded by the Sikh community.

The SAD president said AAP had tried its best to prop up its own organisation and even formed the Panthic Sewa Dal which put up its own candidates in the elections. "They even levelled false allegations against the SAD. However the results are a fatwa on the working of AAP and shows that the Delhi electorate is completely disillusioned by AAP and its performance. The elections are a precursor to what will happen to AAP in the future", he added.

Speaking about the Congress, the SAD president said the faction headed by Paramjit Singh Sarna was openly aligned with the party and had tried its best to befool the Sikh electorate. "However the past track record of Sarna and his gang as well as the Congress party has caught up with them and they have also met with a humiliating defeat", he added.

Mr Badal assured the electorate that the SAD would fulfil all the promises made to them. "The DSGMC will work with even more vigour for the welfare of the community", he added.

The SAD president has called a meeting of all its party candidates who contested the DSGMC elections tomorrow morning at 11 am.
