Referring to a question raised by Phoolka in a press conference addressed by him in Punjab two days ago, G.K. replied that it seems Phoolka has not seen the list of witnesses of CBI written in 2007 in which names of both the witnesses was present. “It seems Phoolka has lost interest in these cases and is dreaming to become Chief Minister of Punjab”, G.K. ridiculed Phoolka.

US Senator asks Carter to end dress policy for Sikhs in army
WASHINGTON: A top US Senator today asked Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to repeal a dress policy in its army which prevents Sikhs from serving in the military with their religious articles intact.
"Under current Department of Defense (DoD) policy, implemented in 1988, members of the Sikh faith are unable to serve in the military unless they abandon their articles of faith--namely maintaining unshorn hair, beards, and wearing a turban," Senator Tim Kaine wrote in a letter to Carter.

Rival groups in Crawley's Sikh community in bitter dispute over temple and holy books
WORSHIPPERS at a Crawley temple were left in tears after a bitter row between members of the town's Sikh community led to one group arriving unannounced to remove holy books to take them to a new temple.
The community has been divided over plans to relocate from the temple in Spencers Road, West Green to a newly renovated building in Ifield Green, Ifield.
Last Wednesday that dispute came to a head when one group arrived at the Siri Guru Singh Sabha in West Green to remove cooking utensils, electrical equipment and the temple's six copies of the Sikh holy text – the Guru Granth Sahib.
They planned to take everything over to the new temple – the newly converted Edwards Sports and Social Club.

DSGMC has misused gurdwara funds: Sarna
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, December 9
The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee led by the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) has mismanaged the committee finance, failed to make a road map for the controversial 400-bedded Guru Harikrishan Hospital (GHH) adjacent to Bala Sahib Gurdwara and increased the committee expenditure, said general secretary of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi), Harvinder Singh Sarna.
Running the GHH was the main election issue of SAD Badal during 2013 DSGMC elections. The SAD has been in the committee for about three years, but so far no road map has been prepared for the hospital, said Sarna while addressing a conference.
The SAD Badal had also said that former DSGMC president Paramjit Singh disposed of the proposed Guru Harikrishan Hospital to a private company for Rs 300 crore. Why don't they make public the document of the sale of hospital, he questioned.
