Large number of community members witnessed the transparent proceedings and decision making process. The following important decisions were taken in the meeting:

3-Sikh institutions throughout the world will be persuaded to switch over to a selection system, reinstating the concept of Miri and Piri, making a World Gurdwara Management committee, with uniform set of rules for preachers to keep the community united. It was also decided to establish a Sikh World Bank.

5- Members well recognize that the RSS operating with the Brahmnical doctrine of “Hinduvta” has definite plans of suppression of Sikhs and and other Minorities in India.
Sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or any holy scriptures is a most heinous crime. Parkash SinghBadal as state Chief minister partner of BJP/RSS and Sumedh Saini, the then DGP are directly responsible for this and cold blood murder of peacefully protesting Sikhs as per findings of Justice Ranjit Singh report. Punjab/Indian government should immediately arrest and punish them without any further delay.
6- Panthik leaders running the Bargari morcha should invite and embrace all Farmers, Shiklighar, Backward/Scheduled casts/tribes, down trodden classes and all minorities including Christians, Muslims,Jains and Buddhists to Bargari because Guru Granth Sahib is common heritage of the entire mankind.
Indian authorities should stop torturous, cruel and inhuman treatment of Sikh Political Prisoners and immediately release all who have completed their prison sentences including Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara Jathedar Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, the spiritual leader of 30 millions Sikhs.
