(Source: http://www.sikhweekly.com/images/Page%2013%20(%20%20June%204%20%20%20).jpg )

The Sikh Weekly of June 4, 2010 has published a confidential letter written by Harchand Singh Longowal to Indian Government (Mrs. Indira Ghandi’s office) about a month before the Operation Blue Star took place. In the letter Longowal is asking Mrs. Gandhi to execute the plan. The letter is published on page 13 of The Sikhweekly .It is in the right hand side column at about the bottom of the page. The URL is http://www.sikhweekly.com/images/Page%2013%20(%20%20June%204%20%20%20).jpg

The letter is in Punjabi. So I have translated it into English as best I could.

Here is the translation. ( I think R.K Dhawan was the secretary/advisor of Indira Gandhi at that time and Gurbachan Singh being mentioned is Tohra)

(Confidential /secret)

April 25, 1984

Mr. R.K. Dhawan

1, Safdarjang Road

New Delhi.

Dear Dhawan Sahib,

As you may know that there is a danger to the life of Sardar Gurbachan Singh, so I am writing this letter to you. (To now) Sant Jarnail Singh is sticking to his views. I feel that now we have to do that which we have already planned for and that which Parkash Singh Badal has already explained to you in detail. Bhinderanwale’s men would run away seeing the army and very likely he too would also run away.

Maj. Gen Jaswant Singh Bhullar and Prof. Manjit Singh (Sidhu) have agreed to go to America. They have been given complete instructions, and they would also meet with you before going to America. The arrangement for their expanses has been made. An American resident Didar Singh Bains and Jagjit Singh Chauhan will work with them. They have been instructed that they organize the Sikhs living in foreign countries before hand, so to prevent the Sikhs from organizing themselves in favour of Bhindrawala..

Please, ask all your men to help them (Maj.Gen Jaswant Singh Bhullar and Prof. Manjit Singh Sidhu) in every possible way.

Very shortly (soon), we shall provide you the names and addresses of those Sikhs who are helping Sant Jarnail Singh. I am very hopeful that our plan will be succeed and we shall soon be free from this curse.

Yours Well-wisher,

Sant Harchand Singh Longowal.

THE BIGGEST LOAD OF FABRICATED RUBBISH I HAVE EVER READ COME ON GUYS YOUVE GOTO DO BETTER THAN THAT THE SIKHS ARENT THAT STUPID

[jaswinder singh]

the letter seems fabricated, if it were real the guy could have published the

photocopy not the transcript . this is called yellowjournalism

[GPS]

The magazine itself is yellow journalism.This is started by anti sikh group kala afghana and darshan lal cult.

[Singh, Mahan]

The magazine may, indeed be supporter of Kala-Afgana and Raagi but the report that Longowal may have written that letter should not be denied based on that now this magazine has published it. It appears that this may have been reported in other newspapers before. Even on this forum some people have raised some questions a few years ago. Please refer to the following link.
