"Bhullar likely to be hanged secretly"

I am unsure as to what to make of this news...security has obviously been stepped up in Punjab as a number of reports are coming through confirming this. Police presence has been increased in cities like Jalandhar and Amritsar, and the Akali party has asked for army presence in punjab as per unconfirmed reports.

Does this mean that the execution is likely to happen in the next few days? What can be done? Who can directly intervene? Organisations such as Amnesty International clearly hold no weight in this issue. I feel like the only avenue is pressure on the Punjab govt and Indian govt...whether that be via the Akal Takhat or other international govts...but we don't have much time. We really need to act fast...are the Sikhs in Punjab even aware of this? I have not seen any news about protests there as was in the case of Balwant Singh Rajoana?

Speculation over possible secret hanging of Bhullar;

BSF deployed in Punjab

Yudhvir Rana & I P Singh | Apr 16, 2013, 04.53 AM IST

AMRITSAR/JALANDHAR: With speculations rife over the "planned secret hanging" of Devinderpal Singh Bhullar, whose plea for commuting death sentence into life imprisonment was recently rejected by the Supreme Court, the BSF has been deployed in Punjab on the request of the state government.

Apprehending law and order problems in Punjab if Bhullar is hanged, two companies each of BSF have been deployed in Amritsar and Ludhiana and one company has been stationed near Jalandhar.

BSF inspector general Aditya Mishra told TOI on Monday that they had provided five companies of BSF to the Punjab government following a request made on April 14.

He, however, denied commenting on why the BSF companies have been demanded by Punjab government.

Sources said the government has also told BSF to go slow on deployment in order not to create panic among residents.

Reacting to the deployment of BSF, Sikh radical organization Dal Khalsa's spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh said, "I don't understand what the state government is anticipating. On the one hand chief minister P S Badal is meeting the Prime Minister for commuting death sentence of Bhullar while on the other, they are creating panic by deploying BSF."

While the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has announced that it would seek presidential review of Bhullar's mercy petition, Laxmi Kanta Chawla, vice-president of its alliance partner BJP, said on Monday that the law should take its own course.

"Not only the President has turned down Bhullar's mercy petition but the Supreme Court has also rejected his appeal. So let the law take its course now," said Chawla.

Meanwhile, wife of Devinderpal Singh Bhullar, Navneet Kaur, who met Bhullar in a Delhi hospital on Monday, said that she also suspected that the government might hang him secretly.

"Like many others, I also fear that government may hang him quietly. If that happened, it will be very cruel and inhumane," added Kaur.

Meanwhile, Jalandhar police commissioner Gaurav Yadav said on Monday that the district has received one company of BSF.

However, senior police officials revealed that instructions to avoid appearing in overdrive in deployment of paramilitary forces have been issued to avoid panic.

"The state government doesn't want to appear over-reactive to the situation as any rumour could disturb peace in such a volatile atmosphere,' said a senior police official.

However, patrolling by Punjab Police has also been increased.

Police officials held that the state home department did not want to take any chance as in March last year, the state witnessed sudden and massive upsurge in protests as Beant Singh assassin Balwant Singh Rajoana's hanging was fixed, but delayed subsequently.

    • 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.

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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
