The Jalandhar police claims to have got several leads following a week-long interrogation of alleged militant Jaswant Singh Azad. His police remand was extended for two more days on Monday. Police sources said Azad spilled the beans on the terrorism network in the state and abroad.

Besides “admitting” to his links with Wadhawa Singh Babbar of Babbar Khalsa International, Ranjit Singh Neeta of Khalistan Zindabad Force, Jagtar Singh alias Tara of Khalistan Tiger Force, Azad has unravelled his British network, revealing names of over 10 British nationals who have been directly or indirectly coordinating terrorism activities. Sources said Azad’s bank account details helped the police in identifying three persons, all based in the state, to whom Azad had transferred several lakhs of rupees.

Jalandhar police officials said security agencies in the state and the Centre had been alerted. The suspects would be put on the watch list. Sources said the police would prepare a complete report of Azad's interrogation and send send it to the state government.

Among the British nationals reportedly named by Azad are Balbir Singh of BKI, Ranjit Singh alias Rana of Sangat channel, Jaswant Singh Thekedar of Kalgidhar gurdwara, Paramjit Singh Bal of Sikh channel, Lashminder Singh Dhaliwal of Dal Khalsa and Jarnail Singh Malli of New Castle gurdwara. He has also “admitted” to having arranged funding for these persons. A police officer said since the suspects were British nationals, their report would be sent to the UK Government.

From the text of the news report, It appears like that the Governments in India do not like Sikh Televisions based in UK and some Gurdwaras.

Among the British nationals reportedly named by Azad are Balbir Singh of BKI, Ranjit Singh alias Rana of Sangat channel, Jaswant Singh Thekedar of Kalgidhar gurdwara, Paramjit Singh Bal of Sikh channel, Lashminder Singh Dhaliwal of Dal Khalsa and Jarnail Singh Malli of New Castle gurdwara.

lol?

Is this supposed to be a joke or are they for real? It appears these channels are hitting a soft spot in that they are spreading Sikh parchar and people like Rami Ranger and other masons/Hinduvta fanatics are pressuring the indian government to take action against them.

Sikhs are entering very muddy waters once again and again, there needs to be intelligence over hot hotheadedness It doesn't matter if you're 100% right, the second you get mad is the second you lose.

In most countries the media is accused of dumbing down their content but only in India can the media pass on such lies from the Punjab and publish them without even verifying any of the facts.

The "funding" for Sikh Channel mentioned above was probably a £4 a month direct debit form....

It is clear from the news story that it is the Sikh media that they fear as it has publicised Indian attrocities against Sikhs to a wide audience. The level of anti Sikh propaganda in the Indian media has been shocking, those that thought after 30 years India behave a better towards Sikhs have had a rude awakening. We could have easily have another Bluestar or Sikh genocide campaign tomorrow.

Sikh media is a big thorn in the side of India. The biggest threat to them is the uncensored news and news crews especially Sikh Channel who get their crew on the spot straight away.

Also the fact that the whole world can see the blatant disregard of human/civil rights now that we have TV cameras in Punjab.

They will use Bhai Jaswant Singh Azad as an excuse, so his name gets tarnished and they also get to use him as an excuse to try to silence other people of interest to them.

India have used this tactic many times in the past. Where they will discredit people who have been doing seva of the shaheed families.

Bhai Jaswant Singh had gone to Panjab to distribute money to familes of shaheeds. Money that he had collected in the UK. He has been doing this for several years. But India thinks its a crime for Sikhs to support families of our shaheeds.

Only in India, the worlds largest democracy, can this happen.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but please can someone shed some light on the background of The brother mentioned in the article (Jaswant Singh Azad)??
