Sikh rights group urges Obama to raise 1984 riots issue with Manmohan Singh on Sept 27

JALANDHAR: After filing a civil suit against Congress president Sonia Gandhi in a US court and and securing summons for her, the US-based rights groups Sikhs For Justice has now written to US President Barack Obama, urging him to ask Prime minister Manmohan Singh during their summit on September 27 regarding continuous impunity extended by his government to Congress Party leaders who were involved in genocidal attacks on Sikhs during the November 1984 riots.

In its communique to Obama, SFJ has cited the names of Union minister Kamal Nath and former Congress MPs, Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar.

Stating that they have been enjoying seats in the parliament instead of being prosecuted despite ample evidence of their involvement in organizing violence against Sikhs during 1984.

The letter has also reminded Obama administration of its response to Sikh Genocide Petition tabled before the White House in December 2012 with more than 45,000 signatures, in which US government acknowledged the systematic violence against Sikhs, by stating that, "During and after the 1984 violence, the United States monitored and publicly reported on the grave human rights violations that occurred and the atrocities committed against members of the Sikh community". Condemning November 1984 killing of Sikhs, the response had noted that "We continue to condemn — and more importantly, to work against — violence directed at people based on their religious affiliation".

SFJ legal advisor Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said that since PM Manmohan Singh headed the government of the party which orchestrated the 1984 violence which had been acknowledged by the White House, the Sikh community had approached President Obama to raise the issue of impunity and denial of justice during his meeting with PM Singh. "We want to hold the perpetrators of 1984 and their protectors, accountable before the international community for their crimes against humanity," added Pannun.

Meanwhile SFJ also announced to hold a justice rally in front of White House during Obama - Singh meeting on September 27 . "The rally is aimed at exposing the incessant policy of impunity practiced by PM Singh's government towards the perpetrators of November 1984 Sikh genocide. The rally is supported by Sikh organizations and management committees of Gurudwaras across the United States and Canada," Pannin informed.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
