Petition to Boycott Meat served in GuruKaLangar in Sikh Camp Houston
NO meat should be allowed in any Sikh Camp. These kinds of things Khalsa cannot ignore or let go.

We have recently found out that meat is being served in the Langar of a Sikh camp in Houston! We were very shocked by this and first didn't believe it, but this fact was brought to us by few campers. And this was confirmed today by one of the Organizers of the camp's leader Parminder Singh. We are asking the whole Sikh community to sign this petition to boycott that camp until they stop serving meat in the Langar.

Contact Numbers during the camp:
Parminder Singh 713.385.3915
Hardeep Kaur 281.397.7468 / 713.459.4812
Manpreet Kaur 713.202.7963
Mahinder Singh 281.468.6928

Any Gurbani function, Gurmat Camp or Sikh Camp where Gurbani is taught or any Gurudwara should not be serving any meat; the camp management & camp should be STOPPED & Bycotted.

Gurudwaras across the world are maintaining the vegetarian langar. I can't even explain the anger I am feeling. In this day and age people do anything and everything to justify trends/ways of society to make it sounds 'OK' to do certain things that our religion has prohibited.

Everyone knows that meat is prohibited in Sikhism and it is a big sin, it is like committing murder. In lots of places in Bani eating meat and serving it is considered a big sin. This is why meat is never served in Langar in any Gurdwara in the world. But, these people are serving meat in his camp after Keertan programs in the morning and evening. They are also teaching Bani and Sikh history there and in between the classes the children are being corrupted and fed meat at this camp in Houston.

Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale used to say that anyone who eats meat doesn't read Bani or understand anything the Guru is telling us. Such a person is turning their back on Sikhism and joining forces with the evil people. But the minds of the children of this Houston camp are being corrupted because they are being told that it is ok to eat meat in Sikhism. This goes against everything in Bani and Sikh history. But they are not taught that eating meat is a bajar kuraet. Instead they are preaching that meat is ok to eat, even after Keertan and right before Keertan as well!

So please everyone sign this petition. And pass this on to all of your friends and sign this until we can get this stopped. Also everyone should boycott this camp and do not send your children there or let any of your family or friends send their children. They will be corrupted against the values of Sikhism.

I can't believe that there are such people out there who will do such things.... please try to understand that it is called "guru ka langar" when you eat in gurudwara..its not a saturday night party hall.

Please sign and pass on.
