First Step To Freeing Of Sikh Political Prisinors: White House

[wahegurubhagatsingh]

USA Citizens Over 13:

Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa Ji is onto his 207th day (as of 8/9/15) of his hunger strike. He doesn't eat and only drinks water. This petition to the White House will help to release Sikh political prisinors. The thing is, it'll take 100,000 signatures to get recognition, and we need that by late September. We only have about 2000 now. Sign this petition and share it with your friends (sikh and non-sikh) and family and make sure the world hears us! In the meantime, protest to the Indian government should still be done. Here is the link to the petition:

How many petitions have our people created with a view to getting the genocide of the Sikhs internationally recognized? I remember signing several, and for all the hysteria that attended them when they were being compiled, and the thousands of signatures they boasted, the UK and US still refuse to recognize the Sikh genocide. And they always will because the poisonous Hindu/Indian lobbies in both countries are far stronger than our own.

Stop deluding yourselves, the powers of the West neither know nor care about the Sikh people. Petitioning them for anything is a a waste of time.

Well that's something at least. Although it doesn't mention whether anything came of this move.

First step?

Petitions are not doing anything - not even awareness. They are futile.

Remember with the last one where we signed for amending the section 25 B of the Indian constitution? What results did we receive ?

Stop wasting your time with these e-petitions.

Bhai sahib, it is better than nothing. Somtime i do not agree with something ppl do but i stay quiet for sake of unity and not to discourage other who are doing something.

Last one we did petition dis manage to ruffles indian sarkar's ears. Why would it prompt obama to suddenly raise the issue of reapecting religious diversity.

I agree. We should not discourage individual or collective efforts but I felt the need to point this as Obama, if you ask me, did not raise anything specific relative to section 25B for which the petition was about.

Obama mentioned 'religious' tolerance. ..

well the constitution does not recognise us a separate religion! !!
