Mohan Das Gandhi (so called mahatma) called Guru Gobind Singh ji a "misguided patriot" in a public forum. He was then slapped by a Sikh Officer
Bhai Jagat Singh (Bhai Tejinder Singh) came running to a Gursikh's house one day.
Bhai Sahib was an Air Force officer who used to serve with his beard open and brought a lot of Singhs into the Akhand Kirtani Jatha.
At the home of the Singh, there was a Gursikh Mata jee. Mata jee saw Bhai Jagat Singh running in and asked "What's the matter?".
Bhai Jagat Singh answered, "I heard a speech by Gandhi today. He was talking about Guru Gobind Singh and said that though Guru Sahib had good intentions, he was in the end just a misguided patriot for having taken up the sword".
Mata jee asked, "How could you just listen to that? Why didn't you slap him?"
Bhai Tejinder Singh replied, "That's exactly what I did! I got up and slapped him across the face and now I'm running from the police!"
In 1947, Bhai Tejinder Singh went out for a walk and headed towards the famous Birla Mandir. Seeing the crowd there, he went closer and saw Gandhi doing lecture.
When he heard the remark about "misguided partriot", Bhai Tejinder Singh had gone up to Gandhi and smacked him across the face.
The crowd tried to catch him and beat him, but he got away.
The Indian police were searching for him everywhere for having insulted their great leader so badly.
Later a deal was worked out where he was released from the Air Force and no action was taken against him in order to keep this event quiet. He then used to teach keertan in Chandigarh and later left India.
Funny how everyone remembers the "misguided patriot" comment, but no one brings up the fact that Gandhi got slapped for it.
[the issue of this comment was once a big point of discussion and was main reason (along with many other anti-sikh and anti-minority policies of Karamchand Gandhi) for sikhs going against him. Sirdar Kapoor Singh also had a debate with Gandhi at his Sabarmati Asharam and made Mohan Das apologise for the same.
PS: kinna jhooth kinna sach.....ih main ni jandi....
