I have read the following news about setting up of a worlds class sports centre in Mohali. IT IS A GREAT NEWS. All should be happy and celebrating it.

It looks like (at this stage ) that the money will be the taxpayers’ of Punjab and perhaps from some investors from Dubai. HOWEVER, look at whom the centre is going to be named after. It is going to be named after Rajiv Gandhi. -- What has Rajiv Gandhi done for Punjab!!!!!!!!!!!!

The money will be coming from the taxes paid by the citizens of Punjab (one way or the other). If I am not wrong, the Sikhs still form the majority population in Punjab, albeit now a very small majority. The major part of the cost will be paid by their money by one way or the other. For the past 50 years or so, the Congress party and the Nehru – Gandhi dynasty (the descendents of the Gangoo bahman – the person who betrayed Guru Gobind Singh and handed over the younger Sahibzade to the Moguls) have been among the worst enemies of the Sikhs. What a gift Arminder Sahib is giving to the Sikhs on the anniversary of Shaheedi of Sahibzades !!! Now we are asked to recite the name (naam japan) of the descendents of Gangoo. These people have been responsible for killing at least a quarter of a million of Sikhs in the last 21 years. Now the name of one of them is again being shoved in the throats of Punjabi Sikhs to recite - whenever they will look at the sport centre. When will the Sikh leaders stop doing "CHAMCHA – GIREE" and "sycophancy" of those who have hurt the Sikhs most ????

World-class sports centre for Mohali

Sarbjit Dhaliwal

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 26

Mohali will have a world-class sports centre soon. It will be dedicated to the late Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi. Spread over about 25 acres, it will be constructed by a Dubai-based company, EMAAR MGF, which has already signed a Rs 5,000 crore memorandum of understanding with the Punjab Government to set up a world-class township at Mohali.

The Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, told The Tribune today that the sports facility, which would be named the Rajiv Gandhi Sports Centre, would come up opposite the cricket stadium at Mohali. “Land is available just opposite the stadium and the centre will be used to produce world-class sportspersons,” Capt Amarinder Singh said.

EMAAR MGF would spend about Rs 80 crore to build the centre. “The Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammad, would visit Punjab soon for the ground-breaking ceremony of the township project,” Capt Amarinder Singh said. At that time, the foundation stone of the sports centre would also be laid.

“We will approve this sports project at a meeting of the empowered committee scheduled to be held on January 12,” said Capt Amarinder Singh. In the township project, the Dubai-based company would contribute 38 per cent of the total project cost. The remaining investment would be made by public and other bodies.

The sports centre would have facilities like the best equipment for all major disciplines of sports, a swimming pool and other infrastructure besides well-qualified coaches and other trainers. Facilities for hockey, volleyball, basketball and wrestling would also be available at the centre.

Capt Amarinder Singh said he had useful talks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with the government authorities concerned. The Abu Dhabi Government was keen on making a huge investment in a hydroelectric project in Punjab.” We have planned a project of 2,000 MW and I hope it will soon materialise because addition to the present power generating capacity in the state is a top priority of my government,” Capt Amarinder Singh said. Even in the housing sector EMAAR would increase its investment in due course, he added.

Capt Amarinder Singh said Punjab needed a world-class sports facility to reestablish its supremacy in this sphere. Actually, the proposal to set up such a sports centre was mooted by Mr Parminder Singh, vice-president of the Punjab Cricket Association and general secretary of the state unit of the Congress. He had sent a detailed proposal in this connection. Later, the proposal was also discussed with Mr Inderjit Singh Bindra, who had suggested the setting up of a trust as was done by the Australian Government to create infrastructure to hold the Olympics in Sydney.

Mr Parminder Singh said while countries like Ethiopia, which were grappling with poverty, had been winning a good number of gold medals at various world sports meets, India, which was emerging as a world economic power, had failed to do so. “For all of us it is a matter of great concern,” he added. “Because of this reason, the proposal for setting up a world-class sports centre at Mohali was mooted,” he added.

He said talented boys and girls from various parts of Punjab should be trained at the centre for national and international competitions. In the absence of proper sports facilities, young Punjabis were going astray and falling prey to drugs, he added.

I think its better to name these institutes after Ahmad shah abdali than Rajiv Gandhi.Abdali was EVIL but not COWARD.THe gandhi's,nehrus,RSS,Gangus's are and were EVIL as well as COWARDS.

In punjab,people like Parkash badal,Mr dullo(the one with ugly face) are just prostitutes by their conscience.People like Amarinder Singh have bit of conscience left.But for me they are just human beings with a beard and a peace of cloth on their heads.If you test these people in the scale of sikhi,they will all feel ashamed.

Amarinder Singh is a person of immense loose character.To be honest,he looks for a new body every second day.A person like this,who has no simran,no rehit,no character,just wears turban,has some dignity due to his royal past will take some good decisions and will also take some decisions like bowing to the photo of Indira Maaa and naming institutes after Rajiv Uncle.

It is our weakness if we begin to feel upset seeing these turbaned humans doing these things.

These people have too much burder on their heads and its good in a way.Their end is coming near.

Koorr nikhutee nanaka orrake sachi rahe.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa

Waheguru ji ki fateh

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
