**TIHAR PRISONERS FORCED TO HUNGER PROTEST**

SOPW can confirm the recent reports that a group of Sikh political prisoners as well as non sikhs lodged at Tihar high security jail in Delhi have been forced to begin an indefinite hunger strike due to the over zealous and totally unnecessary new security measures implemented by the Tihar jail authorities.

We were informed some two weeks ago that the jail authorities were introducing a new scheme relating to the meetings of prisoners by their personal visitors.
The recent changes that have been implemented that have caused an inevitable and understandable uproar right across Tihar jail are as follows:

1. Prisoners were previously entitled to face to face meeting with their visitors through a bullet proof and transparent screen divide and communication was via a small microphone. Now ALL meeting will be held via video conferencing, this method means that each and every meeting and the entire conversation will be recorded.
We understand this will also be applied to the prisoners own spouses.
2. Prisoners were previously allowed two meeting with their friends and families. This has now been reduced to only one meeting per week.
3. Prisoners are only allowed regular visits by a limited number of thoroughly vetted persons, previously the number allowed were 10. Under the new procedures only five persons will be allowed to regularly meet the prisoners. Should a new person wish to visit, a prior application would need to be made and their entitlement given in place of another existing visitor.

We are working on establishing the reasoning behind this clearly unreasonable policy adopted by Tihar jail authorities and what their current position is now that so many inmates have taken to hunger protest in opposition.

Our immediate concern is for the health of the prisoners who have been forced to take such drastic actions as a result of what appears to be nothing more than a modern twist on the standard practise of mental torture that the Indian Government is notorious for inflicting especially against those who speak out against them.

We will bring you the latest development on this latest news as and when we are informed.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
