Slander is pleasing to the Lord’s humble servant! GET WELL SOON Slanderers!

I am writing this piece with pain in my heart and sympathy, yes sympathy not anger for ignorants. They assume that they are Sikhs but are miles away from Sikhi and its values.

Some vested interests started an online campaign yesterday. The issue – “Akal Academies were closed and its School buses were ferrying crowds to the Rally in Bathinda”. This was a sheer defamatory LIE and baseless proofless agenda to defame Baru Sahib.

All hell broke loose. Social media Toads started croaking. None of them was wise enough to see through the game. And they fell prey to it. Slurs, profanities, hate speech, lies, deceit and they call this Sikhi and ‘Panthic soch.

And all this directed to an octogenarian who by his sheer sacrifice and will has managed to create the largest educational enterprise for Sikhs. Shame! We could not see the achievements of Baba Iqbal Singh ji. 129 schools, 2 Universities, 60,000 students – all in just 29 years of after-retirement efforts.

I verified the true facts from the management:

  1. All Akal Academy Schools were open.
  2. All their self-owned buses (around 200) were operating in schools.
  3. More than 800 buses are operated by contractors. Excepting a few, all were operating in their school duties.
  4. Around 56,600 students marked their attendance out of 60,000 (total strength)

Now, I have a few questions to ask these hate-monger brutes:

  1. You have misguided Sangat and incited violence and hate in many of them through your posts. May we see some proofs, please?
  2. The language that you use in your posts and comments. Is it Sikhi?
  3. If Baba Iqbal Singh ji has achieved quite less in 29 years. What have been your achievements?
  4. Sikhi is all about Tyaag and Viraag. Sacrifice and Detachment. What has been your sacrifice for Sikhi and how detached are you from having your two days of fame?

I know for sure that each one has his own way. A blessed soul will keep on serving humanity, no matter what others say. That is his fitratt – nature! A scorpion will keep on biting others, even if they wish to help that miserable soul.

Baru Sahib is Saving Punjab! One child at a time! You slanderers should wake up and Get Well Soon! We shall pray to Waheguru to bless these muck-rakers with Summat and to bless Baba Iqbal Singh ji with good health and Charhdi Kala!
Nanak Naam Charhdi kala tere bhaney Sarabat da Bhala!
