Urgent Sangat Update: Ramgarhia Gurdwara Coventry

6 July 2012

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh!

Satkaar Campaign Sevadaars have been made aware of a possible protest this evening (Friday 6 July) outside the Ramgarhia Hall at Ramgarhia Gurdwara Coventry organised by the Sangat against a pre-booked party that we understand is taking place at the hall. Ramgarhia Gurdwara Coventry is one the remaining Gurdwaras which has a party hall permitting the consumption of meat and alcohol in contravention of the Akal Takhat Sandesh of 2006.

Whilst we are pleased that the local Sangat is taking the initiative on this matter, we make a humble request to the organisers or attendees of any such protest to hold back from carrying it out at this stage. We are making this request as a meeting has been arranged between the Ramgharia Gurdwara Coventry committee and other Gurdwara prabhandaks from the wider West Midlands region on 14 July to discuss the matter of the Akal Takhat Sandesh of 2006 and Ramgarhia Gurdwara Coventry. The Gurdwara prabhandaks have requested no steps be taken prior to 14 July to allow the meeting to take place in an amicable manner. The outcome of the meeting will be communicated to the Sangat.

The Gurdwara parbandaks have arranged the meeting with the committee of Ramgarhia Gurdwara Coventry at the request of Satkaar Campaign Sevadaars. We will provide the detailed background to the matter in an upcoming update.
