Manjinder Singh Sirsa :Initiate Criminal legal Proceedings Against the Director and Heroine of Movie 'Dishoom' for hurting Sikh Religious Sentiments

In a press conference organised here, general secretary of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and minister of state in Punjab, Sh. Manjinder Singh Sirsa informed the media personnel that he has got issued a legal notice through his advocate Sh. S.S. Ahluwalia to the Sh. Rohit Dhawan, director of an upcoming movie namely 'Dishoom' as well as to its heroine Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez; for initiating criminal legal proceedings against both the accused. Issuing a copy of the notice to the media, Mr. Sirsa claimed that in the movie, Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez has been shown dancing to tunes of a particular song, with a Kirpaan tied to a belt and dangling between her legs. He said that Kirpaan is one of the essential Kakaar born by a practising Sikh (only Amritdhari Sikh can wear Kirpaan). The song in question has intentionally insulted the sacredness and respect of Kirpaan and the movie's director as well as heroine both are responsible.

Sh. Sirsa said that the sacredness and respect of Kirpan has been admitted and appreciated not only by various high courts and supreme court of India but also courts worldwide. The constitution of India also confers the right to bear Kirpan by persons professing Sikh faith, which itself reflects the importance and sacredness of Kirpaan in Sikhism. Therefore, the film director or cast must not be allowed to disrespect this religious symbol of the Sikh community in the guise of right to freedom of expression, which cannot be exercised while hurting the religious sentiments of people.

Sh. Sirsa informed that the controversial song, which has been uploaded on youtube.com, has already started hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community as he is already receiving numerous complaints in this matter from various Sikh bodies. Through the legal notice, Mr. Manjinder Singh Sirsa asked director Rohit Dhawan to immediately remove all the trailers/videos of the aforesaid song uploaded at youtube.com or other websites; either delete the song from the movie or re-shoot its video without the Kirpan worn by the actress and to make public apology along with Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez to the Sikh community for the deliberate insult done to a respectable Sikh religious symbol. He warned that if the these remedial steps are not taken, DSGMC would initiate criminal proceedings against the accused persons u/s 295A & 120B for hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community and will also file a petition in the court for banning the release of the movie.

खालसा काॅलेजों में दाखिले के लिए दिल्ली कमेटी ने विद्यार्थी सहायता शिविर लगाया

 दिल्ली सिख गुरुद्वारा प्रबंधक कमेटी द्वारा शिक्षा का लंगर लगाने की शुरू की गई मुहिम के तहत इस बार 12वीं कक्षा पास करने के बाद दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय में दाखिला लेने के इच्छुक विद्यार्थीयों की सहायता के लिए विशेष शिविर लगाया गया। गुरुद्वारा रकाबगंज साहिब के भाई लक्खीशाह वणजारा हाॅल में लगाये गये इस शिविर में दिल्ली कमेटी के 4 खालसा काॅलेजों में बतौर सिख विद्यार्थी दाखिला लेने के नुक्ते भी वक्ताओं द्वारा सुझाये गये। 

दिल्ली कमेटी के अध्यक्ष मनजीत सिंह जी.के., धर्मप्रचार कमेटी के चेयरमैन परमजीत सिंह राणा, गुरू तेग बहादर खालसा काॅलेज के प्रिंसीपल डा. जसविन्दर सिंह तथा गुरू गोबिन्द सिंह काॅलेज आॅफ काॅमर्स के प्रिंसीपल डा.जे.बी. सिंह ने बच्चों को काॅलेज दाखिले के लिए इस्तेमाल की जाने वाली सावधानियों की भी जानकारी दी। जी.के. ने कहा कि बच्चे अक्सर विश्वविद्यालय का आवेदन फार्म भरते समय अपनी मनपसंद के कोर्स को भरने के साथ बाकी कोर्सो को निशान लगाना जरूरी नहीं समझते जिस कारण दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय में दाखिला लेने की उनकी इच्छा इस गलती के कारण पूरी नहीं हो पाती। काॅलेज में सीमित सीटों तथा अंकों की ऊंची कटआॅफ में तालमेल बैठाने के लिए जी.के. ने आॅनलाईन फार्म को दिल तथा दिमाग को खुला रखकर भरने की भी बच्चों को सलाह दी।

दिल्ली कमेटी द्वारा अल्पसंख्यक समुदाय के कल्याण वाली सरकारी योजनाओं का फायदा बच्चों तक पहुंचाने के लिए कमेटी द्वारा की जा रही कोशिशों की भी जानकारी दी। जी.के. ने कहा कि इस बार से खालसा काॅलेजों में कमेटी द्वारा 50 फीसदी सीटें सिख बच्चों के लिए आरक्षित रखने का फैसला लिया गया है पर इन सीटों के दावेदारों का फैसला मैरिट पर होगा। जी.के. ने कहा कि कमेटी के 4 में से 3 काॅलेजों को अल्पसंख्यक संस्थान के रूप में मिली मान्यता का इस बार सिख बच्चों को पहली बार बड़े स्तर पर लाभ मिलने जा रहा है पर कमेटी की कोशिश सिख बच्चों को उनका हक देने के साथ ही काॅलेजों में शिक्षा के स्तर को बनाये रखने की भी रहेगी। 

राणा ने बच्चों के इस शिविर में बड़ी गिनती में पहुंचने पर धन्यवाद जताते हुए शिविर को शिक्षा के लंगर के रूप में परिभाषित किया। राणा ने कहा कि गुरूनानक साहिब ने विदिया विचारी... का जो फल्सफा हमें दिया था कमेटी आज उन पदचिन्हों पर चलने की कोशिश कर रही है। राणा ने काॅलेजों को अल्पसंख्यक संस्थान के रूप में मिली मान्यता को सिख कौम की बड़ी प्राप्ति बताया। बच्चों एवं उनके अभिभावकों के बड़ी गिनती में आने के कारण कमेटी के प्रबंध छोटे पड़ते नजर आये जिसके कारण बच्चों को जमीन पर बैठ कर शिक्षा विशेषज्ञों के विचारों को सुनना पड़ा। जी.के. ने अगली बार से शिविर का प्रबंध बड़े स्तर पर करने का भी भरोसा दिया। इस अवसर पर दिल्ली कमेटी सदस्य परमजीत सिंह चंढोक एवं कमेटी के शिक्षा विभाग के अधिकारी मौजूद थे।

The hard work by DSGMC helped in bringing 300 cases to light and 112 cases were scrutinised and were sent to the SIT with proper evidence attached to each case, G.K. informed. It took special cell of DSGMC seven months and all these cases were referred to SIT in 9 batches from 11 December 2015 to 25 may 2016, he added.

He also informed that FIRs in all these 75 cases were already registered but the Delhi police have pushed all these cases in cold basket taking the plea that there was no evidence. G.K. alleged that Delhi police failed to give justice to Sikhs so the cases should be got investigated by CBI or police of some other state.

Datsun redi - GO for Fun, Freedom & Confidence

A car at a low price with a great mileage, even though with a manual transmission, is worth as the cost of Petrol is continuously rising. Even in the month of May, price of Petrol was enhanced twice, significantly. It dents into the pocket of every one except those who have plenty of money.

The new entrant into the market is the Redi – Go from Datsun, Nissan. Though the official price announcement of the redi-Go has been scheduled on June 7, the Datsun India redi-Go is likely to be priced at Rs. 2,39,500 for the base variant which is more likely to shake the segment with the most competitive pricing. The price seems most competitive and attractive for the first time entrants into the four wheeler segment as it is suited to almost every budget.

The car is based on the CMF-A platform developed by Renault and Nissan. This is the same platform that also underpins Renault Kwid. Both the cars also share identical powertrain with same specifications.

The redi-Go is powered by a 799cc three-cylinder petrol motor that churns out 53bhp and a peak torque of 72Nm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Both the cars will return a claimed fuel efficiency of 25.17kmpl. A mileage of 25.17 kmpl looks quite attractive as it’s pocket friendly for the entire middle class range of people, who want to shift from a two wheeler.

The new Datsun car will run on 13-inch wheels and will also come with an audio system that has radio, CD, MP3, USB and aux-in connectivity. These features again generate attraction amongst the new entrants as they can have all kinds of music, while on the redi-Go.

The redi-Go measures 3,429mm in length, 1,560mm in width and 1,541mm in height. With a tallboy stance, the redi-Go comes with a ground clearance of 185mm which is 5mm higher than the Renault Kwid. It’s tallboy stance also seems quite attractive as it gives a great feeling.

Another attraction of the redi-Go is it’s colours. The car will be sold in five colours — ruby red, white, silver, lime green, and grey. The redi-Go will be pitted against Maruti Alto 800, Hyundai Eon and Renault Kwid in India and will be produced at Renault-Nissan alliance plant at Oragadam, Chennai.

This car can attract the first time entrants into the car segment due to it’s Lowest price in the market, with it’s great mileage, with it’s tall boy stance, it’s beautiful colours as well it’s music system. With a unique design, best in class performance and fairly comfortable seats, the Datsun redi-Go surely is the strongest contender in this highly competitive budget hatchback segment I am very much sure that it will soon become the heart throb of millions.

Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback. Let me have it's Trial at Delhi.
