Controversial former SGPC Member, Seona Killed
Title of the offensive Seona article published on May 24th issue of Spokesman
Patiala, Punjab (KP) – A former member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), Darbara Seona (60) was killed outside his home, Friday evening.
According to press reports, Seona was attacked by two unknown assailants on motorcycles who fled the scene immediately after the attack. While initial reports stated that Seona was shot at multiple times by gunmen, other reports also mention the assailants charging at him with sharp instruments.

“Seona had written an offensive article in the Rozana Spokesman claiming that Guru Gobind Singh Ji never bestowed Gurgaddi to Guru Granth Sahib Ji and implied that Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroop is a mere book and should not be treated as a Guru.” |
“Seona had written an offensive article in the Rozana Spokesman claiming that Guru Gobind Singh Ji never bestowed Gurgaddi to Guru Granth Sahib Ji and implied that Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroop is a mere book and should not be treated as a Guru.”
After the attack, Seona was taken to Patiala’s Rajendra Hospital by his grandsons Jaswinder and Lakhwinder, but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Darbara Seona attracted controversy after he had written an offensive article in the May 24th edition of Rozana Spokesman, run by the ex-communicated heretic Joginder Sawney. In the article, Seona claimed that Guru Gobind Singh Ji never bestowed Gurgaddi to Guru Granth Sahib Ji, instead, by bowing in front of the Punj Pyare, the Gurgaddi was conferred to the Khalsa Panth.
Seona also referred to the tradition of giving satkar to Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroops by presenting rumallay as a Brahmanical ritual, implying that Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroop is a mere book and should not be treated as ‘Pargat-Guraa-Ki-Deh’.
The article, which drew the wrath of Sikh organizations, eventually lead to an attack on Seona in late May, which left him seriously injured. Seona continued to defend the article and never apologized for his offensive remarks.
Ironically, the former SGPC member was at one time close to the late Jathedar Gurcharn Singh Tohra, and politicians such as Prem Sinh Chandumajra, and Atinderpal Singh of Shiromani Akal Dal International.

Chakdo Singho! Few more to go, Lets GOO…
[…] When reporting the death of a controversial Sikh scholar, the news did not lament his death, only discussed his heresy (such a tactic seems remnant of a Sarah Palin rally). No remorse was shown over his killing. One commenter even wrote “Chakdo Singho! Few more to go, Lets GOO…”[link] […]
VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA !

While I have not read the full article written by Darbaraa and just the title I do feel that the title is completely and utterly against the Gurmat Sidhant of Guru Granth Sahib Ji being our Guru.
There is one thought that comes to mind, we the Sikhs are no able to do Vichaar but instead are quick to pick up the Soti, Kirpan, Gun and use it against anybody that puts forward a different view point. Gursikshs should have sat down with this guy and done Vichaar with him to make him realise his mistake.
All the 11 Masters from Guru Nank Dev Ji right through to Guru Granth Sahib Ji to the present day use(d) Daleel and Vichaar to make humanity understand there mistakes and helped them onto the path of spiritual progression.
We have not adopted the method of Daleel and Vichaar but have moved straight onto the Soti, Kirpan, Gun. The Kirpan was gifted to us to do Kirpa on those that where that evil that they could not be reasoned with but nowadays we move straight onto the Kirpan.
