SevadaarEKhalsa Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Lone Sikh family attacked by Brahmin mob in Tharparker, Pakistan MITHI, May 23: Sikh family was targeted in Pakistan Thar desert, at the hands of extremist Hindus mob led by Brahmins, enjoying unprecedented power encouraged by local police and administration. Sardar Jagjit Singh Khalsa, the head of the poor family was seriously injured by gun-toting and baton-slinging on Saturday night. Fed up of untouchability, caste discrimination and human inequality, Jagjit Singh had converted to Sikhism a few years back and had been and icon of hatred for the local Brahmins since then. Wearing traditional Sikh turban and decorating small sword-like dagger on his vest, Jagjit Singh lived in a quarter of a Brahmin Mangha Ram Sharma, who was convicted of corruption but fled to India ahead of conviction taking a booty of multi-million rupees. Mangha Ram was a Mukhtiarkar in Sindh Revenue Department posted in Left-BankOufall Drainage project and fled to India. On 16-03-2005, Special Judge (Anti-Corruption) Hyderabad had also declared him absconder u/s 512 and issued proclaimation under 87 Cr. PC and ordered to attach his movable or immovable property under 88 cr.Pc. Thus these quarters are government property now. On Saturday night a mob of a few hundred people, mostly Brahmins led by Mangha Ram’s brother-in-law Tulja Ram Joshi, Choith Ram Joshi, Dholo Joshi, Suneel S/O Jagdesh, and Lonio Sharma carrying weapons, axes and batons and fire arms, raided the quarter rented by Jagjit Singh Khalsa, with intent to kill him and severely wounded, but his wife and children saved him by shielding him and crying for help. They threw out his belongings after looting the valuables. Though subjected to murderous attack, the local police is not registering FIR of Jagjit singh,and entire Tharparker district administration stood behind the Brahmins due to their MNA Mahesh Malani, whose family is also preparing to flee from the country and is minting and amassing millions of rupees through corruption in government contracts. The poor Sikh, who was born in a Dalit/Scheduled Castes family, ran from pillar to post for help but no one listened his cries due to the fear of reprisal by Brahmins. Even local media people are shy to report the incident for fear or liking for the local Brahmins. It has become a routine for Brahmins in Tharparker district to occupy plots of Dalits and dislodge them from the homes in Tharparker but no one takes notice for reasons unknown. Jagjit Singh has appealed all the patriotic people including Government, apex court and human rights activists to come to his rescue and announced to hold hunger strike for justice. This Singh is our Sevadaar and the only Sikh (with his family) in southern Sindh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevadaarEKhalsa Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Got the news personally from a Singh in Pakistan. The Singh in question confirmed this today when I called him up. Anyone wishing to contact the Singh can get his phone number via pm. He is a very enthousiastic Singh. Despite all hardships he tried to preach Sikhi amongst Hindus of his area. Probably this didn't go down well with those Brahmins. He was on the forefront to start this organisation (altough not much has been done till date - due to lack of volunteers/funds). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevadaarEKhalsa Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Is there a way to help him, if we want to send funds or any other way. Actually we were to send money via western union, but if many people want to send, it be loss on Sangats parts (all their charges!). If SikhSangat could setup a temporary page where people can donate, and then send Sangats maya to Pak via western union. Whats his phone number ... there is jatha from patiala in pakistan right now i will forward the phone number they can contact him and visit him personally ... Check your PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
