Dear Sikh Sangat of Fremont Gurdwara, I would like to denounce strongly the violent incidence that happened last month at Fremont Gurdwara. It is totally wrong to bring a weapon in Gurdwaras. 1 condemns those individuals who believe in violence in resolving their individual conflicts in Sikh Gurdwaras as well as elsewhere in this country. Gurus’ Sikhs do not cause sufferings to anyone but they show tolerance and compassion to all. T expresses my deepest sympathy for the victim and prays to the Almighty Waheguru to show us the right path of Sikhism so that we can serve each other and be kind in our hearts.
At the end I would also like to make an humble appeal to all the concerned Sikhs of North America to form a mechanism to prevent from happening such unworthy and un Sikh like incidents in the future, This violent act at Fremont Gurdwara has caused a great set back to our religious practices and) Khalistan movement. Oh! Waheguru bless us with love, devotion, sewa; sacrifice, simam and dedication. I beg mercy and forgiveness from Sikh Sangat of Fremont Gurdwara, Please, accept my apology so that I may remain dust of Sikh Sangat, T am full of Shortcomings and faults. I have no virtue and merit, but I have no other place to go to ask for pardon other than Guru Sangat of Fremont.
I shall remain your servant. Balwant Singh Pascagoula, MS.
