San Jose Gurdwara again amid row
WSN Network

SAN JOSE: San Jose Gurughar's prime mover Bob Dhillon has landed the Gurdwara in a peculiar situation where it is now vulnerable to court cases and much increased rate of interest on loans even as he fired Chris Rael Sr. of Bay Area Construction Management who has now resorted to legal avenues. It seems Rael had spoken to local newspapers about his concerns regarding the work at the Gurughar.

The Jaswant Singh Hothi group was throughout cautioning the sangat about the possibility of the Gurughar facing a court case.

Rael, 48, and his son, Chris Rael Jr., 25, were fired last month, allegedly after they spoke out about mismanagement of the project and unwillingness to hire skilled workers. In a chat with World Sikh News, Chris Rael said he believes he was fired only for speaking out.

Bob Dhillon, 67, a real estate investor and son of an attorney, has been associated with San Jose shrine, the country's largest Sikh Gurdwara, which is now set to expand even further, but it is this construction that has led to so much controversy.

His decision to appoint a 25-year-old San Jose State University construction management student who lacks experience has also not gone down too well with many in the community.
