IG orders fresh inquiry into 1991 killings of 7 kin HT Correspondent Jalandhar, September 20 2004 http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/5922_10...02000000094.htm IG Zonal S.K. Sharma has ordered a fresh probe into the reported brutal killing of seven members of a family in Khanpur village near Beas in 1991 by Nihang chief Ajit Singh Poohla and his associates. IG Sharma said that he had directed the SSP to reopen the case and if there was concrete and clinching evidence against the accused, the same should be produced in a court to prosecute the accused. Poohla Eviction Committee president Colonel G.S. Sandhu (Retd) said that though an FIR was registered in the case in 1991, the matter had so far been kept under wraps due to Poohla’s influence and his links with top police officials. “After the arrest of Poohla, a number of people are coming forward to complain against him. Poohla was such a terror that none ever dared to open his mouth against him earlier,” Sandhu remarked. Sandhu claimed that Poohla and his men fired indiscriminately from automatic weapons and also threw hand grenades, killing seven members of a family, including children of Mangal Singh and Bachan Singh, at around 9.45 p.m. on June 1, 1991 in Khanpur village. Those killed were Bachan Singh (45), his wife Darshan Kaur (35), his daughter Mangaljit Kaur (16), Mangal Singh’s wife Harjinder Kaur (30), his daughters Rajbir Kaur (6) and Gurjant Kaur (8 months), and his son Yadwinder Singh (4). Only Mangal Singh and Bachan Singh’s son Ranjit Singh survived the massacre. While Mangal was working in Muscat at that time, Ranjit Singh had gone to his fields. All these years, the two survivors were too scared to speak against Poohla and his men, Sandhu said. Sandhu said that it appeared that Poohla and his men resorted to the killings to take revenge. It was claimed that Joga Singh, a son of Bachan Singh, had joined hands with militants and killed Nihang ‘Bijla’, a close aid of Poohla.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh dear sangat ji this artical was produced in a uk magazine called Khalistan Deeyan Goonjan which was edited by the 2 singhs that killed darshan dassi in 1987. The butcher of Panjab! Ribeiro’s reign of terror. On 29 September 1985 the ‘Longowal’ Akali Ministry came into power in Panjab with Surjit Singh Barnala, a lack-lustre leader as Chief Minister and Balwant Singh a wily politician as Finance Minister. They were elected because the Sikh youth had boycotted the elections and the Sikh masses had hardly an option in their desperation for a breathing time from the unabated repression which they were being continuously subjected to. However the Barnala government failed to grapple with the manifold problems facing the state and their foremost aim was their own political survival. They ignored the trauma and turmoil the community had undergone in its struggle for justice. Both state repression and the killings of the Sikh youth continued. From the outset the Central Government of Rajiv Gandhi was ruling Panjab by proxy whereby the Akali policies were replaced by old Congress policies. There was a complete lack of faith in the administration and it soon lost its credibility to impart justice as a result of lack of action against the repression conducted by Indian Police against innocent Sikhs. As the state was driven from one disaster to another Sikh youth became more and more restive and alienated. On 29 April 1986, a five member Panthic Committee, headed by (Shaheed) Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochachal, made the declaration for the establishment of an independent Sikh homeland - ‘Khalistan’ from the pre cincts of Sri Darbar Sahib. As a result Barnala faced a crisis, and without taking his council of ministers into confidence, under the directive of Delhi planned and ordered a police assault, code named ‘Operation Search’ on Sri Darbar Sahib complex. This police action on Sri Darbar Sahib led to uproar amongst the Sikh masses and resulted in a number of Akali Ministers resigning from Akali Dal to form their separate Akali Dal. However, the Barnala government was able to remain in power with the support of the Centre. The India rulers knew they could use Barnala’s dummy government to pursue their policy of repression in Panjab, as demonstrated when Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi made J.F. Ribeiro Director General of Police in Panjab. Ribeiro was a man known for his brutality and in his appointment India desired an iron-fist policy in Panjab. Ribeiro lived up to these expectations and declared his policy of ‘bullet for bullet’ stating: “ If the terrorists are making their hit lists and hit squads, we will retaliate with our own hit lists and squads to take care of them.” Sikh youth were on the receiving end of this policy, illegal arrests and non-judicial killings became the order of the day. The BBC summed up the situation in their report: “Indian paramilitary troops surrounded villages in the Amritsar district and conducted arbitrary house to house searches for Sikh youth. While seeking out these so called secessionists, the Indian Government has set in motion a suppressive force by which many innocent people will be endangered.” This fear was soon realised when police killed innocent Sikh youths in ‘encounters’ claiming that they had killed militants. The word encounter was used by the security forces in order to cover up deaths of innocent Sikhs caused in a variety of ways and circumstances. The Anti-Repression Co-ordination Committee (ARCO) headed by Justice Ajit Singh Bains investigated human rights violations in Panjab and believed that ninety nine percent of police encounters were bogus. (So common are the allegations of extra-judicial killings in Panjab, that the local papers refer to such incidents as ‘fake encounters’.) As the police fought a war against the Sikh freedom fighters, the line between what was legally right and wrong got obliterated. The police failing to catch the so-called militants directed their actions towards innocent people. Furthermore Barnala himself personally gave the names of 18 young Sikhs to be eliminated as Ribeiro remarked, “Barnala himself gave me the names of some terrorists from Gurdaspur. He said neutralise them, the situation will change. We did and things did change but only for a while.” (India Today, 31 October 1989). Sikh armed groups fought back against this aggressive regime and proved to withstand and fight off police repression. As a result Ribeiro became increasingly aggressive and demanded further liberties to handle the Panjab situation. Having no need of the Barnala government, the Centre dismissed it on 12th May 1987 and imposed Governor Rule – headed by Governor S.S. Ray (afterwards posted as High Commissioner for USA). “I feel confident we will get results. More officers will join battle. Those who don’t will be replaced . It would have been quicker if President’s rule had come earlier” said Ribeiro. As the Panjab came under the direct control of Ray-Ribeiro combined, both the judicial system and constitutional laws were eliminated. Ribeiro justified this on the ground that he could not have persons whom he considered to be culprits to be convicted by the courts because witnesses to prove their guilt were not available. Ribeiro set upon a reign of terror and adapted entirely illegal, indefensible and terrorist tactics which included employing criminals who indulged in all kinds of crimes - like murder, robbery, looting, rape, etc.. This was deliberately done to create public opinion against the Sikh armed groups in order to brand them as the perpetrators of crimes. Furthermore, it was intended that in the rural areas, individua ls and families apart from becoming sympathetic to the cause of the Sikh freedom fighters, became hostile to them, thereby creating at the village level factional divisions, leading to further crime. The Panjab Human Rights Organisation (PHRO) revealed that 73 Sikh youths were killed in fake encounters between May 12th and August 22nd, 1987. Ribeiro declared that in Panjab ‘police accountability is to itself’. One of the illegal tactics used by Ribeiro was the floating of a ‘vigilante group’ known as ‘Alam Sena’. The SSP of Amritsar, Mohammed Khan Alam had sold Ribeiro the idea that the authorities needed to occasionally by-pass the legal system if they were to get instant results in their fight against terrorism. When reports first appeared in the Indian press about this vigilante group, Alam had denied the existence of such a force. The Indian Government also initially continued to deny the existence of this sinister organisation. A correspondent of India Today Vipul Mudgal, gave a lead story on these undercover organisations, and said that the Government was “recruiting the policemen with criminal tendencies for a special task force to be constituted along the lines of the Dirty Dozen…. police backed vigilantes consisted of a band of dismissed policemen and elements expelled from the Sikh guerrilla groups. There squads were let loose, no questions asked fully armed with guns and ammunition, bombs to match those of the freedom fighters. They started to loot, plunder and kill innocent people and all this was blamed on Sikh groups in order to discredit the independence movement. One of these vigilantes was Dalbir Singh who had been dismissed from the police but was re-employed to commit numerous crimes including bank robberies, docoities, murders etc.. He became a favourite of Ribeiro, when he helped the police in nabbing some Sikh freedom fighters. He shot into prominence when he gunned down one of the leading Sikh freedom fighters of the KCF, Lt.General Shaheed Bhai Surinder Singh alias K.C. Sharm a, and Bhai Harvinder Singh ‘Bunty’ of the SSF at a bus station in Chandigarh. When hotly pursued by the Chandigarh police, who mistook him for a militant, Dalbir Singh slipped into Rebeiro’s house and sought shelter with him. For his services Dalbir Singh had been given two out of turn promotions, a jeep, a Maruti car, a Fiat and two armed guards. He was posted in Patiala with no official daily routine; his secret jurisdiction extended to the whole of Panjab and even nearby states. By his criminal activities he amassed wealth and properties in Patiala, Chandigarh and Mohali. These activities firstly came to light when he was summoned by the area SP and was presumably being asked either to declare or share his exploits when he picked up a revolver lying on the table and shot the SP, Baldev S Brar. The senior SP Sital Das came running from the next door office, Dalbir Singh shot him too and then shot himself. “I would kill myself rather than letting the police find out everything about me.” he had reportedly told an associate. Another notorious member of the vigilante outfit was Santokh S Kala who mainly operated in the Jullandhar area. Kala was approached by the police to work as a hired gun. He was supplied with arms, money, ammunition and at least one car. Later his group were stripped of their weapons and placed under arrest by the CRPF. Numerous robberies and other crimes had been committed by Kala with the Sikh guerrillas being blamed for these activities. Ribeiro had no hesitation in justifying the creation of the vigilante squads as he told India Today: “ Police all over the world take the help of undercover people. There is no doubt about the fact that we had also been using people like Dalbir ... But the unfortunate killing of two of our officers, this would not have come out in the press at all ”. When Ribeiro was asked about the legality of such measures, he replied, “Don’t governments use spy networks for collecting information ? Is that legal ? In fighting this undeclared war in Panjab what matters is success in tracking down ‘killers’.” It is clear that Ribeiro considered himself to be above the law, in fact he believed in the existence of no law, no government and no human rights. The only option for the Sikh armed groups was to meet him at his own level. General Labh Singh led a unit of the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) and made an attack on the police Head Quarters in Jullandhar. However Ribeiro managed to save his skin by diving to the floor and playing dead. After this incident Ribeiro knew that his life was in danger from the Sikh freedom fighters and he left India and was posted in Romania as High Commissioner. But the situation for the Sikhs did not change in Panjab as soon as one butcher left he was replaced with another in the form of K.P. Gill. Despite persistent allegations of extra-judicial killings by the security forces there have been relatively few inquiries into alleged ‘fake encounters’ in the Panjab. Furthermore, restrictions have been adopted by the Indian Government limiting access of world wide human rights groups, such as Amnesty International, to the state of Panjab and this has resulted in these incidents of genocide remaining uninvestigated. In the absence of official enquiries and investigations by international human rights organisations, the only source of detailed scripting into the allegations of ‘false encounters’ have been the work of locally based civil liberty and human rights groups. However, due to government restrictions, the lack of co-operation by the security forces and fear amongst civilian witnesses from appraisals by the security forces, such investigations by locally-based groups are rare. There is no justice in India for the Sikhs and today the situation is even more bleak with thousands of Sikh youth fleeing India knowing that the security forces are tracking them down. The only option left for Sikhs is an independent homeland Khalistan and the success of the Sikh movement depends largely on the success of our f reedom fighters. We must commit ourselves to supporting our youth who against heavy odds, carry on risking their lives and those of their loved ones to further the cause of human freedom from oppression, tyranny, bigotry, slavery and exploitation.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh dear sangat ji here is a poem written by a TRUE Saint / Soldier of the 21st Century. Baba ji was a great granthi as well as a Fighter and a great poet too. Dhan Guru Ka Sikh. Baba jis shaheedi day is on the 24th Feb 1993 The Immortal words of Shaheed Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Manochahal former Jathadar Sri Akal Takhat & General of the Bhindranwala Tiger Force of Khalistan (BTFK) My friends will be waiting For my new year greetings wishing them happiness Oh my friend! How can I wish happy new Year to you As yet I still have to guard my heritage under constant threat of humiliation. The turban of my Father is rolling somewhere in the dust It might be waste in the dark corner of some police station. After the murders of our mothers and sisters, tears have been unceasing. Our innocent boys who are soft as flowers lie beneath the bridges, below the trees murdered in false encounters. Our sister's honour remains unavenged since the Delhi massacre I am in great and constant grief like the tender butterfly that flutters and turns white with fear, Whose wings have turned grey with the passing of time. In this struggle I may not be recognised and may get lost And in this dreadful situation in what way can I then convey my New year greetings to you. We will wait for better times. Then shall I send such greetings When Spring visits our garden.

Indian, Hindu or Sikh? All the gods and goddesses have been fascinated by mayaƒx and death does not spare any one without the service of the Guru. O Nanak, without the True Name, of what use is the frontal mark of the Hindus, or their sacred thread? Guru Nanak Dev Ji - The founder of Sikhi Of the South Asian communities that have settled in Britain, Sikhs constitute the second largest visible minority after the Islamic community, and the third largest taking into account the Irish community. Sikhs have been recognised as a racial group in Britain since the House of Lords ruling in 1982: in the Mandla v Lee case when The House of Lords found that the Sikh community was not only a religious group but also a distinct ethnic group. Before Guru Nanak Dev Ji, most major faiths taught they were the one true religion with a unique relationship to God, and other faiths were false, heathens or infidel. Such a stance allowed little dialogue and bred intolerance. True to Sikh teaching that no one faith has a monopoly of truth, Sikh scriptures, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji contains verses of Hindu and Muslim saints alongside writings of Sikh Gurus. This was earlier solemnised by the fifth Guru when he invited the Muslim cleric Mian Mir to lay the foundation stone of the Durbar Sahib (popularly known as 'Golden Temple'). Notwithstanding these positive groundbreaking actions of interfaith respect and recognition of other faiths, some people are attempting to present Sikhism as a doctrine of Hindu mythology. This is particularly a concern for Sikhs in respect to activities by some Hindu organisations and individu als as described below. Though Sikhism has been accepted as one of the world¡¦s major faiths, ashamedly Hindu organisations continue to deny Sikhism¡¦s very existence. Such acts of maliciousness by so many Hindu organisations bent on undermining Sikhism and assimilating Sikhs into Hinduism are damaging race relations in this country, and present an opinion that there is a deliberate worldwide campaign of assimilation. These policies came to light particularly during the 1999 Khalsa tri-centenary celebrations, when the government of India gave Hindu organisations as many public funds to put on Khalsa tri-centenary celebrations as Sikh organisations, pushing forward there own policies. This has led to the establishment of the Rashtriya Sikh Sanghat as a sister organisation to the neo-nazi Hindu Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, and production of misinformation and publications to ¡§re-educate Sikh¡¨ masses in the belief that Sikhism is a branch of the Hindu tree. Recently in the UK similar activities have increasingly materialised. During the Hindu Youth Festival 2001 (26 July ¡V 5 August) organised by Oxford Centre for Vaishnava and Hindu Studies¡¦ (based at a respected university in the City of Oxford and which includes on their Board and Advisory Council alleged academics), a magazine was presented by a consortium of Hindu organisations (including National Hindu Students Forum, Brahma Kumaris Youth, Vivekananda Centre, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh) which not only included a 3 page article on why Sikhism is part of Hinduism, but also referred to the Sikh Gurus as: ¡¥Mother India was blessed with ten Hindu sons who came from the great Kshatriya Surya lineage¡¦. Also other pages in the magazine referred to Guru Granth Sahib Ji as an evolvement of Hindu scriptures. How can these organisations claim to have any understanding of Sikhism when they have ignored its source, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? Guru Nanak Dev Ji had already protested as a child against wearing the supposed sacred Hindu thread. The Gurus revolted by the brahmanic caste inequalities, were sorrowful at the persecution and exploitation of so called lower castes. Even today whole Dalit villages are erased in upholding these absurd ¡¥religious¡¦ practices! It was Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Sikh Guru, who declared 'Na Koi Hindu, Na Musalman'- there is no Hindu nor Muslim. Would a Hindu ask the following question? ¡¥O Nanak, without the True Name, of what use is the frontal mark of the Hindus, or their sacred thread?¡¦ Raag Aasaa , Ang 467, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In Raag Bhairao, Ang 1158 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Gurbani states ¡¥I have abandoned both the Pandits, the Hindu religious scholars, and the Mullahs, the Muslim priests. Whatever the Pandits and Mullahs have written, I reject; I do not accept any of it.¡¦ Guru Arjan Dev Ji (supposedly the Fifth Hindu son according to those very academic souls from Oxford) in Raag Bhairao, Ang 1136 makes it absolutely transparent: ¡¥I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. I serve the One Lord, and not any other. I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim.¡¦ Sikhism absolutely and conclusively rejects all Hindu gods and goddesses as they are under the spell of Maya, Guru Nanak Dev Ji says ¡§All the gods and goddesses have been fascinated by maya and death does not spare any one without the service of the Guru¡¨ ¡V Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Gauri M.1, Ang.227.Why should we worship gods and goddesses that themselves are perishable? What can we ask from them and what can they give? When the stone-gods are bathed in water, they themselves sink therein ¡V Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sorath M.1, a ng.637. According to Guru Amar Das Ji ¡§Brahma revealed the hymns of the Vedas and extended the affection for maya¡KShiva remains in his abode, but is engrossed in great anger and pride. Vishnu is always busy in reincarnating himself. Then with whose association, can the world can get salvation? ¡V Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Vadhans M.3, ang 559. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva have gone astray in three modes, having increased ego and attachment. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, // Bilawal M.3, ang 852. Sikhs share a tradition of secularism, which has often led to the community denying their own needs in the interests of the wider society. There are others who wish to exploit the Sikh trait of common interest to suit their self-interest. As a result the interests of the Sikh community have been presented by those who wish to exploit the Sikh community, and present the Sikh nation as part of Hinduism. How can such blatant political behaviour be tolerated by the common Hindus who have close friendships with Sikhs? If these friendships are sincere, then they will recognise the hurt that Sikhs feel in the assimilative policies fostered by Hindu organisations. The National Union of Students and Union of Jewish Students sponsored a publication in 2000: 'Racism a Light Sleeper'. Within its pages the section on the Hindu Community proudly states 'In Britain today there are approximately 1.5 million Hindus, including Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs'. This misleading and inaccurate statement encapsulates the very nature of assimilation policies that the Sikh nation has endured for over five decades. It also encompasses a rational and intentional encaging of Sikh culture, history and identity by a significantly larger majority (approximately 1 billion world-over) of a minority community (approximately 20 million), which makes up only 2% of the population of India. The deliberate misrepresentation by the National Hindu Students Forum of the Sikh community as a part of the Hindu community is a fallacy that has been enshrined in the Indian constitution for over fifty years. It is as a result of these and other similar attempts of assimilation, that resulted in Sikh religious, social and economic demands of equitable treatment that the situation in Punjab led to loss of life, as legitimate and peaceful campaigns for religious rights were met with violent arrest and imprisonment. In consequence, structural exclusion has led to the same minority community portrayed as an aggressor, with labels such as fundamentalism, orthodoxy or even militant stamped on the Sikh community. In fact the Sikh community has closed in and tried to find strength in its core beliefs whilst defending and defusing continuous assimilative offensives. Anti-fascist and anti-racism unity is born from the recognition of, and acceptance of, diversity as inherent to the peaceful co-existence of nations, religions and of peoples. In accepting these principals, in practice we must collectively be conscious of and accept the self-categorisation of ethnicity by minority ethnic groups. It is as a result of contra-ideals that Europe witnessed the crusades of the middle ages, the holocaust, and in our contemporary times the war and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, the 9th Guru was martyred in 1676, when he was publicly beheaded by the Mughals for supporting the right of Hindus to freedom of worship, despite himself not agreeing with core Hindu beliefs; bringing to life the expression "I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Guru Teg Bahadur Ji gave this sentiment a practical, yet sombre reality, and guided Sikhs that diversity is a positive rather than a negative attribute of society. Searchlight in their 'Overview of the Extreme Right in Europe' write: 'we must recognise a fascist is a fascist, whatever colour they are or whatever religion they profess to be, and op pose them and their ideas, while at the same time taking care not to let racists exploit any campaigns.' We must equally recognise that the struggle against racism and fascism is an international one and be brave enough to be clear about who is a fascist. This is imperative if minority communities such as the Dalits, tribal groups, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and other minorities in places like India, or minorities anywhere else in the world, are to have a voice raised on their behalf. We must isolate groups such as the Hindu right wing Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) who, like Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) and BNP, target minority communities. We have to ensure that such groups are denied a platform at campuses in Britain. We have to be vigilant and aware of the global threats of fascism and racism and recognise international distress signals for all communities denied a voice, before consequential events, like volcanic eruptions, engulf each and every one of us. To conclude, Patwant Singh an internationally respected historian writes in ¡¥The Sikhs¡¦: ¡§Any faith that believes in equality amongst human beings and sees God in each of them, is an intrusion ¡V an assault ¡V on those who constitute the caste hierarchy. Such intruders have to be removed, as was Buddhism. The Sikhs and their beliefs, which threatened Brahmin supremacy by rejecting the idea of caste, also falls into this category and resentments against them began with Guru Nanak¡¦s enunciation of his principles of equality.¡¨ DON¡¦T DISPLAY INDIAN FLAGS IN YOUR CARS AND HOMES.

forwarded from harjit singh Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh Dear sangat ji Could we please contact all human groups and local MPs regarding the harassment that Sikh activists are getting in Punjab, it’s becoming a daily occurrence and needs to be stopped. There needs to awareness regarding the outstanding issues off justice and freedom for the Sikh people. Thanks Rab rakha harjit URGENT ALERT---Manager of Sikh Resistance Magazine, Sikh Shahadat, Torture Survivor and Sympathiser of Sikh Movement Forced into hiding by India--- Surinderpal Singh, the young, vibrant manager of Sikh Shahadat Magazine, run by sympathizers of the sikh resistance movement, from head quarters in Punjab ( a magazine that tries to raise awareness of the sikh’s contemporary history in relation to the genocides suffered to rural Punjab) and a social worker to the current sikh political prisoners, has been forced into hiding by the Indian state. In the 1990’s Surinderpal Singh, along with countless other sikhs faced terrible torture in Nabha Jail for his sympathies of the Sikh’s armed struggle against India. He served a full sentence for his sympathies for the Khalistan Liberation Forces, KLF, (whose former accused sympathizers like Daljit Singh Bittu and Gursharan Singh Gamma are still in jail) and the beliefs he held of the Indian state’s repression of sikh human rights. He also survived brutal physical and mental torture when so many people he knew didn’t. Only days back a member of the KLF who was wanted for a decade and was in hiding, was captured and ‘interrogated.’ It is speculated that to rture will have taken place. Amongst the names from old and new this person mentioned Surinderpal Singh. Now human rights groups are worried that Surinderpal Singh will be a target for the authorities who apparently want to put charges of ‘money laundering on him’ in lieu of his work as manager of Sikh Shahadat and other social work causes. Surinderpal Singh was also becoming politically active in the work of the Shiromani Khalsa Dal (SKD) which was a newly formed party to express the needs for sikh sovereignty and human rights, with several members still in jail and under the presidentship of Daljit Singh (currently in Nabha Jail) Daljit Singh has had 26 serious TADA cases collapse in Indian courts due to lack of evidence, yet eight years later he and fellow inmates and sympathizers of the sikh resistance movement, Gursharan Singh Gamma, continue to be tried in Indian courts. The SKD along with other pro sovereignty groups feel it is critical that India allow uninhibited, non harassed, and non ‘interrogation- threatening’ tactics in the Khalistan peace process, so that debate for each autonomous region in South East Asia take place democratically. The other worrying trend is that authorities are using previous cases, where people have served their full sentence, and time, and yet subjecting them to ‘interrogation’ which could involve torture, under new charges. Considering such people will have been subjected to brutal torture, such as Surinderpal Singh, this is a trend that is of concern to civil liberties groups. The Indian state is open to putting ‘speculative’ charges on many ex- prisoners. This is in contrast to their lax approach to known terrorisers of the masses in Delhi and all over Punjab, because these people were part of the ‘state’ or friends of the Indian state – ie. in army, police or working for the state. Examples that come to the forefront are even current members of India’s serving government- eg. Jagdish Tytler and others like Sajjan Kumar whose roles in organi zing pogroms and the mass murder of sikhs in Delhi is undeniable. Surinderpal Singh by nature is very spirited, brave and gallant in what he has suffered. His commitment to the sikh movement and its heroic beliefs continues. The ‘fear’ of what the Indian state’s next move is is high for his family and friends. Some human rights activists are trying to seek anticipatory bail before Surinderpal Singh is ‘found’ so that he is not subjected to the interrogation that the Indian police has gone into extremes on in the past. Sikh groups around the world are urged to educate their members on the violation of human rights and continuing possible sinister implications of harassment that former members of the sikh resistance experience. Please inform all groups that you know of and inform your own civil liberties contacts; Amnesty International General Secretariat London, as well as the Foreign Minister within your own country about this episode. Please also find ways that Sikh Shahadat magazine become a global entity and remain a symbol of the rights to democratic speech of the sikhs. Manjit Kaur, Shiromani Khalsa Dal (SKD).

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh dear cyber sangat ji go and visit this site, we need to stop this or at least have a agreement if this is right for the Panth or not. We cant afford another blunder like 1947 witness84 wrote: We urgently request you to join the international campaign to withdraw the application made for World Heritage status for Sri Harimandir Sahib. Sikhs have not been consulted widely on this issue which could have major consequences for the intended functions of Sri Darbar Sahib and Sri Akal Takht Sahib. There are important implications that arise as a result of fulfilling the criteria of UNESCO. One such implication is that India’s jurisdiction and administration applies in Sri Akal Takht. The result could alter the sovereign status of the Sri Akal Takht irretrievably in the near future and will have involuntarily ended the question ‘whose jurisdiction runs at the Sri Akal Takht Sahib?’ It is important to debate these issues before a major step such as compromising the sovereignty of Sri Akal Takht is taken.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh The sangat can have darshan off these 2 great gursikhs thanks bro

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh veerji its on me pc mr singh ive sent it to u. so if u got it load it on here. thanks sukdev

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh veerji when we talk of Santji can we not say (sant) bhindranwale is seems disrespectful, i know u dnt mean too. As for Babaji talking in a tape or video, babaji doesnot do katha there is a video where bhai daljit Singh is doing katha somewhere about 84 and the taksaal its role and Baba ji gets up and tells Bhai balbir Singh to tell bhai daljit singh to tell the Sangat if they dnt beleive that Sant Ji is ALIVE get up do an Ardas and take Hukam from Guruji and Guruji will tell u if Sant ji is Shaheed or Alive. The sangat started to do jaikaray. This was in Maharajs Hahjuree. So every one knows Baba ji's sewa in the past God knows how many years he had doen sewa of gursikhs and Sant ji said that Babaji has never lied so what gives us the right to question Sant ji plus the tape where Sant ji talks about baba ji and what happens if the jatha the singhs go against babajis hukam etc am sure theres a tape on the taksaal website. just my thoughts. lets not dewell on this topics as Santji has given us a mission to do lets live our lifes as Gursikhs and try to live in the shadows of the Shaheeds take care sukdev

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh dear cyber sangat ji heres to 2 Great Gursikhs bhai Rajinder Singh is on the left Bhai Manjit Singh is on the right dam it wont load up how can i post this pic???

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh darshan dassi was put to death by BHai Sahib Rajinder Singh Mughalwale and Bhai Sahib Manjit Singh Khanauwale. the y are severing 30 and 20 years each. both are in chardi kala and i will post pics off these GREAT Gursikhs on here. he was put to death on the 11 nov 1987 :wub: this cult is still going but its keeping its head low, and is not as strong as before but beware of it theres loads on the net about them, www.sikh-history.com take care sukdev akaal

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh bhenji it’s a hard one, it’s up to u to make the finial decision. first off all the darshan dass cult the parents belong to is one off the most corrupt groups around. In nov 1987 2 singhs killed this evil man who had destroyed loads off families and done Gurujis beadbi.. their views are totally opposite to Sikhi and it will be hard for the families to get on. If ur parents are Amritdhari this makes it even worse. But I think in this day and age families don’t mix as much as they used to so hopefully things wont come up then again when u do ur Anand Karg it will have to be on Sikhi values u 2 have to be strong and law down the law from day one to them. Your . future husband has to be a strong believer in Guruji and sikhi then it will make it easier for ur parents to understand. At the end off the day what brought u together was sikhi and that sud be ur main focus. If u love Sikhi nothing else will matter. Your parents want to make sure u dnt suffer in ur new family and that they will respect ur views in Sikhi. This depends mainly on their views as u will believing with them but my experience off ppl who follow these cults that they are to engrossed in their ways. The other option would be u move out with ur husband and live separately. Any ways my point was about the darshan dass cult is one I wouldn’t want my enemy to be in Its not the ashutosh cult like in India but similar one. It as lost most off it followers but it’s the die hard one that are still with them May Guru ji guide u bhenji Rab Rakha Take care sukdev

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh hope this dog rots in jail or the singhs get hold off him :wub: Poohla shifted to Ludhiana Central Jail Wanted in 20-year-old attempt to murder case Tribune News Service http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040807/ldh1.htm Ludhiana, August 6 Much to the dismay of undertrials in the Central Jail here, a complete barrack has been vacated in the jail here for the lodging of Nihang Tarna Dal chief Ajit Singh Poohla, who is a proclaimed offender in a 20-year-old attempt to murder case in the city. The barrack has been cleaned for his stay while earlier, undertrials were lodged there in alleged shabby conditions. Elaborate security arrangements have been made for his isolated stay in the jail and some undertrials and jail staff have been deputed for the round-the-clock duty at the barrack. All those undertrials lodged in the barrack have been shifted to other barracks causing problems in the already overcrowded barracks. While the Ludhiana police will have to wait till August 9 for the production warrant of the Nihang leader, he has already arrived at the Central Jail here yesterday evening. He has been sent here due to security problems in the Nawanshahr jail where he was lodged earlier. The Nawanshahr jail authorities have been relieved but the Nihang leader’s arrival has caused its own problems for the Central jail authorities here. He is facing eq ual security risk here also as four persons accused of murdering his brother, Jagir Singh Poohla, five years ago in Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar here are already lodged in the jail. These accused have been claiming that they were innocent and were falsely implicated in the case at the behest of the Nihang leader. Jail Superintendent Kuldip Singh told Ludhiana Tribune that there was no special treatment for the Nihang leader and only few undertrials have been shifted out of the barrack due to security reasons. He said there were certain persons lodged in the jail having old enmity with the Nihang leader. The Tarna Dal chief was a proclaimed offender in a two-decades-old attempt to murder case. He was then known as Jaswinder Singh, alias ‘Good Fighter’. He had jumped bail in the case and changed identity. His real identity was exposed about three months ago by Col. G.S. Sandhu (retd), chairperson of the Majha Ex-servicemen Human Rights Front, an organisation spearheading the campaign against the Nihang leader for his alleged nefarious activities. The Kotwali police here had gone to Nawanshahar to seek his production warrant in the case but were directed by a court there to seek production warrant from a court in Ludhiana.

what a joke india is, it trys to hide the truth off its evil ways, but it cant the TRUTH will FOR EVER SHINE India bans religious riot movie http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/f...ilm/3542340.stm Riots broke out in Gujarat after 59 Hindus died in an arson attack Award-winning documentary Final Solution, which looks at religious rioting between Hindus and Muslims, has been banned in India. The film follows 2002 clashes in the western state of Gujarat, which left more than 1,000 people dead. A censor board said the documentary was "highly provocative and may trigger off unrest and communal violence". The movie was honoured at the Berlin Film Festival. Director Rakesh Sharma plans to challenge the ruling in court. 'National integration' India's Central Board of Film Certification imposed a comprehensive ban on the film's public screening, stating: "State security is jeopardised and public order is endangered if this film is shown." "The board also says that the film will affect friendly relations with some neighbouring countries and that the film attacked the basic principle of the Indian constitution, which is national integration," director Sharma told the BBC. People who make hate speeches should be banned and not the film-maker who records it Rakesh Sharma The director dismissed the censor's concern as "hogwash". "People who make hate speeches should be banned and not the film-maker who records it," he said. Final Solution follows the riots which brok e out after 59 Hindus were killed in an arson attack on a train in February 2002, blamed on a Muslim mob. It won the documentary and critics awards at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and the Wolfgang Staudte and Special Jury awards at the Berlin International Film Festival. But the film was not permitted a screening at the Singapore film festival in May, after its censor board deemed it "potentially inflammatory".

Sikh organisations demand a law YUDHVIR RANA TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, AUGUST 05, 2004 07:38:49 PM ] AMRITSAR: Various Sikh organisations have demanded that the government enact a law banning installation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at mazars and printing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib other than by SGPC and other SGPC-approved organisations. The demand to this effect was made after a joint meeting of Sikh organisations like Akal Purakh Ki Fauj, Guru Granth Sahib Study Circle, Sikh Missionary College etc was held here on Thursday. Jaswinder Singh Advocate, chairman of Akal Purakh Ki Fauj said that the decision was taken in light of Hukamnama issued by Akal Takht that imposes a ban on installation of holy Sikh's book in the mazars. Moreover he said that non-Sikhs were not forced to bind with the Hukamnama issued by Akal Takht. He said a lot of reports pertaining to the violation of above Hukamnama were being received. Advocate said that they have also decided to organise a Sikh Youth Conference on August 30. Meanwhile an official press release said that during the celebrations on the occassion of 400th anniversary of first installation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib as many as 50 medical teams would be deployed in the city for the visitig devotees.
