Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

The Lion’s Den

In Patiala two IPS officers who had committed crimes against the Sikh Kaum had been shot dead by Singhs in the Khalistan Liberation Force under the command of Bhai Ajmer Singh Ji. This action was a very brave one undertaken by the Jhujaroo Singhs. After this incident other IPS security officials began to fear for their lives. They used to talk amongst themselves that if you were given a posting in Punjab as a security official it was like being sent into a lion’s den to meet death itself. As a consequence of the daring actions of the Khalsa the security forces began to send many messages to their commanding officers in Dehli. In these messages they always used to say that if Dehli does not give the Sikhs what they want there will be no peace and tens of thousands of security officials would continue to die at the hands of the Khalsa.

A New Home

The Police in Jagroun had kept Bhai Ajmer Singh Ji’s father in jail for one and a half years. They never thought of raiding Bhai Sahib’s house, as they knew that he would not come back, such was his determination and commitment to Khalistan. This was an amazing testament to the iron character of Bhai Sahib who had now made his home and place of refuge in the caring hands of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Bhai Ajmer Singh had simply got up one day and picked up his sword in defence of the Kaum. Once he had done this he never looked back but only marched forward towards his Guru. As a Jujharoo Singh not much was written about Bhai Sahib in the newspapers. This was because most of the seva Bhai Sahib did was kept very gupt and only known by the Singhs who were very close to him. The police simply could not figure out whom the lion was who was striking so daringly and devastatingly in the heart of the Punjab Police.

Shaheedi

On the 28th of February 1989, Bhai Ajmer Singh, Bhai Bakthar Singh and Bhai Jagdeep Singh Vakheel were close to Ludhiana Railway Station. These three Singhs were waiting at an agreed meeting point for Bhai Sher Singh. As Bhai Sher Singh was making his way towards this place the police spotted him. An encounter then began and during this exchange of fire Bhai Ajmer Singh Lodhiwal drank the nectar of martyrdom.

Conclusion

Bhai Sahib’s Shaheedi was a big loss to the movement, as Singhs like him aren’t born everyday. Bhai Sahib was a complete Gursikh who walked on this path with his head held high. He never lowered it before anyone apart from his beloved Guru. There is no doubt in my mind that even though he may have been forgotten in this shameful world, Guru Gobind Singh Ji embraces him now, just as Guru Sahib does for all shaheeds who broke their bodies and who spilt their blood to keep the Kesri Nishan Sahib flying.

After Bhai Sahib took his place at the feet of Guru Nanak Dev Ji the village Lodhiwal used to celebrate his shaheedi divas with great love and many Akhand Paths were held in remembrance of this brave soldier. Nowadays things have changed. Both Bhai Sahib’s parents, Bhai Kulwant Singh Ji and Mata Kuldeep Kaur have become very ill and find it hard to organise the same celebrations, which were conducted year after year in memory of the Shaheeds of Khalistan.

Even though this family has faced so many difficulties due to their son’s actions, and due to the indifferent attitude of the current leaders of our panth, they still remain happy and proud that they could give their son to the same Kaum who today has forgotten about them. They happily accept everything as the sweet will of Akaal Purakh but a mother’s love is a mother’s love and sometimes Mata Ji looks at Bhai Ajmer Singh Ji’s picture and begins to cry as she remembers her beautiful son smiling and embracing her.

Despite no help coming for the Sikh Kaum, Bhai Kulwant Singh and Mata Kuldeep Kaur don’t ask for anything. They don’t want any maya or any other materialistic things. Bhai Kulwant Singh Ji even today says that Guru Sahib has already blessed his family with so much, he is the father of a Shaheed, of a rare jewel of the Panth, what more could he ask Waheguru for? The only benti these two beautiful souls put at the feet of today’s Sikhs is that they remember and reflect, on the blood, which was given, on the sacrifice that was made, and on the love that inspired their older brothers and sisters to wake up and walk on this path with an Ak-47 strapped across their shoulders.
