Breaking News Singhs Have Been Shot By The Punjab Police In Gurdaspur

[Only five]

I have heard from some Sikhs that the leader of Shiv Sena has said that until Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana is released from jail, he will not eat. Is this report true and if it is not, then we need to find out who made this report.

A quick write up that may come in use. Email out to media outlets, friends, family etc to create awareness. We need to stress the injustice that continues in India against Sikhs to this day.

YOUNG SIKH MAN SHOT DEAD BY PANJAB POLICE

Wednesday 28th March 2012

An eighteen year old unarmed university student has been shot dead by police during a planned peaceful protest that took place on Wednesday 28^th March 2012. Several other Sikhs have been injured, including one young sixteen year old Sikh currently in hospital in critical condition.

For a short but informative overview of the history behind the Sikh relationship with the state of India please see this post²:

Shaheed (martyred) Bhai Jaspal Singh Jee³ was on his way home from university where he had been studying for his first year of an engineering degree. While walking home he came across fellow Sikhs sitting and meditating peacefully as part of worldwide protests against the hanging of Bhai Balwant Singh Jee Rajoana.

Footage⁴ and eyewitness accounts report an extremist right wing group – the Shiv Sena antagonising the Sikhs by celebrating the upcoming death of Bhai Balwant Singh nearby.

The Panjab police - using tactics that have been witnessed across India countless times in the past, suddenly opened fire on the innocent Sikh protesters.

Initial accounts confirm one young Sikh man has died and several others injured.

Footage from the shootings can be seen here⁵: (warning this footage contains disturbing violent scenes, upsetting footage and use of profanity throughout.)

These sorts of incidents that occur In Panjab only succeed in confirming the negative bias the state police and other government bodies have towards Sikhs.

Protests occurred worldwide on Wednesday 28^th March⁶ as was decreed by the official Sikh leading political authority – the Akaal Takht. Some protesters in other states of Panjab also succumbed to Panjab police beatings. Protests in other parts of the world including US, Canada, Austraila, New Zealand, and most of Europe all passed peacefully.

Sant JArnail SIngh always said to the Sikhs, dont give your lives away for nothing, if anyone is tyring to kill you, try and kill him, if you die, trying then there is no loss...

the ravan sena are thugs and criminals, Sikhs should not give their precious lives away for nothing,

[SheikhFareed]

Will the killers of these 2 Sikhs be hanged?

Indian Govt. and the police are a joke. I can't understand why other nations havnt got involved yet...!

[zoltansingh]

My heartfelt condolences to the family of the shaheeds family.

Since when has the AK47 been a crowd control weapon? Its inaccurate at the best of times and all those involved in this firing need to be booked for murder.

Also those with links to Jasbir Rode and Dhumma need to put pressure on them over their links with Akali Dal Badal. Either the Badals take full action against those who provoked the incident and the police or break their links with Badal.

As for the Shiv Sena, we all know that when their HQ in Ludhiana was raided a few years back it was found to be a porn vcd factory.

[Amrit]

we have the proofs from you tube etc, question is what shall we do with them....lets take this forward we cant let them get away with again.

[confusedsengh]

We need to get Shiv Sena out of our homeland, We are at war can no one see this? Badal needs to ban Shiv Sena from Punjab before these thugs get there heads ripped off.

[singh135]

Badal needs to take full responsibility for this as cm of police. He should resign. .... Or needs to be stepped down by sangat
