Sacramento, Ca (KP) - Honoring detractors of the Panth seems to be in vogue. Take for example the notorious Delhi based fraudster Lachman Chela Ram whose organization is guilty of desecrating countless sacred saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Gurbani Pothees by abandoning them in a filthy warehouse in Delhi just received a warm welcome from his cohorts in the US.

In March of 2010, Chela Ram was also found guilty of doing parkash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroops in various Hindu Mandars across Delhi. Some of those saroops were removed by sevadars of various Delhi based Panthic organizations.

According to press reports, Chela Ram was “honored” at West Sacramento Sikh Temple and Roseville Sikh Temple in California, and by the Guru Gobind Singh Foundation in Maryland during his visit to the US in November of 2011.

Despite the serious transgressions of grave sacrilege by the Lachman Chela Ram, neither the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, nor the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee have taken any action against perpetrator Lachman Chela Ram.

Oddly, he is now being honored abroad by naïve and ignorant individuals for his “contributions to Sikhi.” Ironically, this is all occurring at the heels of the announcement by the Takht Jathedars to bestow Panthic enemy Parkash Badal with the "Panth Rattan Fakhar-e-Kaum" (Jewel and Pride of the Nation) award.

Is this the type of welcome given to those who desecrate the Sacred Saroops of Guru Granth Sahib Ji?
