As per the Hukumnama (Order) of Sri Akal Takht Sahib (Sikh Seat of Sovereignty in Punjab, India) Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji cannot be taken to environments where alcohol, meat and tobacco are served and consumed. Some Anti Sikh people of Watford attempted to take Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj to such a place and Guru Pyare prevented it. Unknowingly to the Sikh Congregation who had gathered to peacefully protest, the Saroop (embodiment) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was in a metal suitcase placed on the front seat of a car that was parked on the road opposite the Community Centre. This was deeply offensive, deceitful and extremely distressing not to mention one of the most disrespectful acts that could be carried out in the Sikh faith, as Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is never transported in a suitcase as a mere "object" of the Sikh Religion. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the eternal Guru of the Sikhs.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib was respectfully removed from the suitcase and re-clothed. Prayers were performed and the Sikh Congregation asked for forgiveness for any wrongdoing. This video captures the moment when the Saroop was retrieved from the disrespect of the suitcase and was then taken to the Sachkhand (resting place for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) of Watford Gurdwara.
