Punjab Back On Route For Another 1984?

A BSSF sewadar who is currently in Punjab shares his experiences of the anti-sikh discrimination by the Punjab government.

The Shiromoni Akali Dal Panch Pardhani (Daljit Singh Bittu's Party) had recently declared that they would organise a Holocaust Memorial March from Chappar Chirri in Mohali (Chandigarh) to Sri Akal Takhat Sahib from which was scheduled to take place from the 1st June-6th June 2010 stopping at different Gurdwara's acrsos Punjab and holding Smagams and Diwans every night.

Many Panthic organisations and jathebandiya aswell Sant Mahapurkhs had declared their support for the March.

The British Sikh Student Federation had held talks with Bhai Sandeep Singh Canadian, (General Secretary, SAD Panch Pardhani Youth Wing) and had agreed to fund some of the costs of the March.

A statement given to the Press two weeks before the March was scheduled to start was signed by representatives from SAD PP, Dal Khalsa, British Sikh Student Federation, Ek Noor Khalsa Fauj, Sikh Students Federation (Gazi), Guru Granth Sahib ji Satkaar Sabha and Akal Federation.

Posters and hoardings advertising the March were put up across the State. The adverts had the picture of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib ji as it was in 1984 after Operaton Bluestar aswell as pictures of Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, Bhai Amrik Singh Ji and General Subegh Singh ji.

However a few days before the scheduled start date of the March, on Saturday 29th May the Police raided the houses of many of the organisers of the March. The raids took place across different parts of Punjab and at the same time. In the raid, Bhai Kulbir Singh Barapind, Daya Singh Kakkar, Baldev Singh Sirsa, Baba Hardeep Singh Mehraj, Sandeep Singh Canadian and Gurmeet Singh Goga were all arrested. The house of Bhai Harpal Singh Cheema (General Sec SAD PP) was also raided but they avoided arrest as they were not at home at the time.

Bhai Harpal Singh Cheema declared that they would continue the March despite the biased and unfair treatment by the Punjab Government. However the night before the 1st June, the Punjab police surrounded the Gurdwara at Chappar Chirri where the the march was scheduled to start from. 600 armed Police personnel surrounded the vicinity and stopped anyone entering or leaving the Gurdwara. Even the local villagers movement was restricted. The Deputy Commisioner announced that "Section 144 (Cr.P.C) has been imposed and police shall maintain law and order situation in all cases"

Bhai Harpal Singh Cheema at that moment was at a Gurdwara in Paniali near Ropar with his supporters. The Police in the early hours of the morning of 1st June, also surrounded this Gurdwara and cut the water and electricity supply. Anybody leaving the Gurdwara or trying to enter it was arrested and later sent to Judicial remand. The Police tried to force the management committee of the Gurdwara to file an official complaint against Bhai Harpal Singh Cheema and his supporterrs that they had forcefully taken control over the Gurdwara, otherwise the water and electricity supply would not be resumed. Despite repeated pleas for food and water, the Police refused to give in.

By midday on 1st June, all the Gurdwara's which were scheduled stops for the march were surrounded by Police and gatherings of more than 5 Singhs together were dispersed and often arrested. All posters advertising the march were taken down and at chowks, many cars with Sant ji's Stickers were stopped and removed.

Gurdwara Parmeshardwar in Patiala, where the March was scheduled to stop the first night has a heavy police presence around it and car checks are being carried out within the Gurdwara vicinity.

Its unfortunate to see that even after 26 years, Sikhs in Punjab are being treaded on and being denied the right to remember their Shaheeds and Sacrifices.

I wouldn't support such "Cheap Public PR shot" by political parties nor i would believe in party created by breaking the unity of panthic group in punjab while the president of such party backed by sarna group was "Magically" released on "Free Jailbreak card".

Here is one good reply by Kamaljeet Singh Khalsa on Facebook:

Its True and Sad fact! But main reason for all this is all Panthic organizations have chalked out their own separate programmes. All are trying to outshine each other and in the process, its turning out to be a huge loss for these Jathebandis! Had they all united, joined hands, chalked out a joint Journey or yatra or samagam, it would surely have ... See Morebeen successful. We lack unity, else no one would have dared to stop us. People didnt come out in large numbers as this was showcased as ONE party's march, not entire Panth's programme! The Day Panth unitedly walks, no government, however oppressive it may be, would be able to stop Khalsa Panth!

What's cheap about that?

So what are your people doing in remembrance of June 1984?

Everybody knows what type of panch pardhani party is and how they totally hijacked the lone panthic party. One may mislead others by video taping shaheeds family... Corrupt method of luring pro-active sikhs by buying them new cars and then giving them positions in bogus panthic party and later on start mis-using them. Debate on this can go on and on.. Anyway im not here to change ppl mind but sangat should know the facts and find out how this party came into existence.

Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar (Mann Dal)

Where have they gone missing?

What are they doing?

Why did Mann Sahib kick out his own personality who could attract the Sikh Youth?

If Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu is a bad person, why was he brought into the Party in the first place?

Why did the majority of SADA (Mann) quick and join Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu?

"buying them cars and a few positions...." - How was Mann Dal any different? (If this was true!)

Note: - We are not anti - Mann Dal yet we will only work with those Organisations who are actually doing something pro-actively for the Sikh Nation.

A Sikh revolution should have happened after 1984, similiar to the Islamic revolution in Iran but after the Sikh revolt was crushed, the Sikh identity is also being crushed. It just shows what Hinduism really is: rats being worshipped, a Goddess of death with a caste system. However one thing is clear, the Khalsa is hated by India and they will do anything to finish it off.

Khalsa is not hated by India its Hindus who hate us. Why all of u are so afraid to mention word Hindu ? We all know they are behind anti Panthic activities.

Today Ashutosh Chelas can dare to come in Gurudwaras and say anti Sikhs . We have become soooooo weak that these Pakhandi Babe has started challenging us.

Ke Banu Sikh Koum da Sache Patshah Waheguru Jaane.

Wasn't Bhindranwale created by Indira Maimuna Begum aka Indira Gandhi ?:umm:

Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale was made by Akal Purakh Waheguru from pure sarbloh and bir ras. His father was Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and his mother was Mata Sahib Devan Ji.

Indra Gandhi, on the other hand, was created as a result of dripping water on a mogwai and feeding the resulting creature after midnight. Not even her mother knew who her father was.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
