“Khalistan Ka Jinn” – Another attempt by Indian Media to terrorize the People of Punjab

Ludhiana /Chandigarh (September 25, 2009): It could be termed as another attempt by Hindi Media to terrorize the people of Punjab as IBN7, one of main Hindi news channels telecasted in India, showed an “exclusive” ‘news drama’ titled “Khalistan Ka Jinn”. The whole story telecasted by the channel just looked like a staged drama as channel repeatedly showed persons (so-called terrorists) armed with weapons, taking training of arms, huge quantity of automatic weapons, ammunition and explosives but without any further explanation. Surely most of these persons, except recently and previously arrested Sikhs, had nothing to do with contemporary Punjab or Sikh movement and most of these shots were pre-recoded shots that did not relate to Punjab or Sikhs.

Channel claimed that peace of Punjab was violated by killing of a Dera Sauda follower few weeks back that was followed by murder of “religious leader” Rulda Singh (Ex-head of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat – RSS, a dummy organization that was banned by Sri Akal Takhat Sahib some years back) but did not dare to speak even a word about murder of four innocent Sikhs by Dera Sauda Sirsa (DSS) followers.

The whole drama that was telecasted at 22:00 hrs (IST) lasted about 30 minutes and was aimed at terrorizing the people of Punjab and defaming Sikhs as proposed “terrorists”. It is a clear instance of “embedded journalism’ that is an integral part of Indian media reporting. SAD (Asr) Panch Pardhani, Sikh Federation of Australia and Sikh Students Federation has strongly condemned such moves of Indian Media.

SAD(Amritsar) to contest Punjab election on issue of Khalistan

Tuesday, 03 January 2012
By Satinder Bains

CHANDIGARH: Simranjit Singh Mann President of Shiromani Akali Dal(Amritsar) on Tuesday announced that his party would contest the Punjab assembly elections on the issue of Khalistan. He also released the first list of 45 candidates.

Addressing a press conference here Mann said that Sikhs cant get justice without creation of Khalistan. He said that in SGPC elections, 5,75 lakh Sikhs supported demand of Khalistan. He said that he may not succeed but he will continue to raise the issue. He stated that other parties like SAD(Badal), Congress and Peoples Party of Punjab(PPP) were not taking up issues related with Punjab and Sikhs. He asked these parties why issues like river waters, transfer of Chandigarh and punjabi speaking areas to Punjab and justice for victims of 1984 genocide were missing from their agenda ?

He also said that SAD and Congress who ruled the state have failed to create jobs for 43 lakh unemployed youth in Punjab. main political parties were getting bribe from industrialists which is the reason industry is bringing labour from Bihar and Uttar Pardesh and indulging in power theft at the cost of common consumers.

Mann also criticised Union Home Minister P. Chidambram for his statement that there was threat of attack from across the border. He said that such false propaganda was being done to give bad name to Sikh community. He said that let Home minister seal the Nepal border which is main source of smuggling of drugs and arms into India through Uttar Pardesh.

Mann also flayed the Congress and allied parties of UPA for failing to support Lok Pal bill. He said that in India people worship Money(Luxmi) which is main reason for Lok pal bill falling in Rajya Sabha.


Mann also said that SAD(Badal) President Sukhbir Singh Badal has accepted moral defeat and also accepted that he was not competent to handle the government.

Punjab Assembly Election 2012: Mann Dal to contest all seats


Fatehgarh Sahib (December 14, 2011) The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by S. Simranjeet Singh Mann, has declared that it would contest all 117 seats in the upcoming Punjab assembly elections. The party has declared to contest the elections on the issue of “Khalistan” (separate Sikh homeland).

The party would forge alliance with only those political parties which would highlight the Khalistan issue, SAD(A) chief Simranjit Singh Mann said.

Slamming Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Punjab Congress head Amarinder Singh, Mann said both the leaders were “chips off the old block”.

“About 40 lakh youths were unemployed during Amarinder’s regime. This figure has increased to 43 lakh during the SAD (B) regime,” he said.

“Amarinder is fielding former Punjab DGP Sarabjeet Singh Virk and Badal former state DGP Parmdeep Singh Gill in the elections,” Mann said. He alleged all these officers are guilty for mass level human rights violations.

Seizure of T-shirts: Sikh bodies criticize police crackdown

T-Shirt-300x300.jpg


Amritsar (December 23, 2011): Describing the police crackdown as uncalled and unwarranted, the Sikh organizations today criticized the seizure of T-shirts on which photograph of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale along with Khalistani slogans were imbibed from Ludhiana city.

In a statement, Dal Khalsa’s senior most leader Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib has flayed the police action and theory. He went on to question the police as how could T-shirts that are being sold openly in markets, shops in all cities since many years would suddenly “vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in the state”.

He said calendars, stickers, coffee-mugs, key chains and T-shirts carrying Sant Bhindrawale’s pictures were already in circulation in huge quantity ever since Akal Takht has declared him a ‘great martyr’ in 2003. “For Sikhs, he is a martyr and his portrait has been installed in the Darbar Sahib museum by the SGPC.”

Sikh Students Federation has criticized the police raids for targeting the Sikh Youth for making free expression of their feelings. SSF Vice-President Bhai Makhan Singh Gandhuan said that Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was great Sikh of 20th century, and his image is installed in National Sikh Museum situated in Darbar Sahib Complex at Amritsar. Shiv Sena and the Punjab police would not succeed in their wicked plan to curb the popularity of image of Sant Bhindranwale, he asserted.

Youths in villages and towns of the state can be seen sporting bright yellow T-shirts, emblazoned with huge photos of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. And the paraphernalia is being openly sold in prominent markets in all major cities, claimed the former president of the radical Sikh group.

Dal Khalsa smells some design behind the seizure and registration of a case under 153 IPC as the elections to the state assembly are round the corner. We fail to understand what prompted police to implicate Manwinder Singh Gyaspura, the whistleblower who brought to fore Hondh-Chillar massacre that took place in Haryana, in this case.

Satnam Singh Paunta Sahib of Dal Khalsa asked the Chief Minister of the state to look into the matter and order the cancellation of the FIR as manufacturing or selling T-shirts is not banned. He claimed that even the Supreme Court and High Court had ruled in one of its rulings that demanding Khalistan was no crime as long as the campaign was pursued in a peaceful and democratic manner.

Human Rights Abuses in Punjab and Wikileaks: Alam Sena’s existence find mention in US diplomatic cable


Ludhiana (September 23, 2011): Issue of mass level human rights abuse in Punjab by police and para-military forces of Punjab and India finds a Wikileaks link. A recent “expose” by Wikileaks mentions the existence of “Alam Sena”.

The communication, referred as “cable”, sent by New Delhi based US Embassy on December 19, 2005; released by Wikileaks, mentions the existence of “Alam Sena”. This “cables” is in response to certain issues and specific questions relating to the extradition of Kulbir Singh Barapind from US to India.

In response to question posed by “Department” asked for “post’s” assistance in reviewing the assertions contained in Barapind’s submission that – (b) one of the policemen allegedly responsible for Barapind’s torture in 1988 has been promoted to the senior ranks of the Punjab police force, it is mentioned in the cable that:
“With regard to former Senior Superintendent Punjab Police (Jalandhar) Mohammad Izhar Alam, we can confirm that he now holds the position of Additional Director General (Administration) Punjab Police, a senior police posting. During the insurgency, he assembled a large, personal paramilitary force of approximately 150 men known as the “Black Cats” or “Alam Sena” (“Alam’s Army”) that included cashiered police officers and rehabilitated Sikh terrorists. The group had reach throughout the Punjab and is alleged to have had carte blanche in carrying out possibly thousands of staged “encounter killings.” (NOTE: Former Director General Punjab Police KPS Gill publicly praised the group, saying the Punjab police could not function without them. End Note.) Herkewaljit Singh told us that Alam was “at the top of the list” in authorizing encounters during the insurgency period”.

Commenting on the issue, Harpal Singh Cheema, Secretary General of Panch Pardhani said: “Such illegal associations created by senior Punjab or India police/para-military officers were involved in mass level abuses in Punjab. They killed Sikh militants in fake/staged encounters, their innocent family members and other civilians during Sikh armed struggle”.

He slammed the Indian State and Punjab Government for granting de facto impunity to abusers like Izhar Alam, Sumedh Saini and others.

“Instead of prosecuting these criminals for ‘crimes against humanity’, ‘enforced disappearances’ and torture, government has rewarded them with promotions and primary posts” he added.

He claimed that Human Rights redress forums like State and National Human Rights Commissions have drastically failed to nail the culprit officers.

Kanwarpal Singh, Secretary of Dal Khalsa has demanded extensive probe into the issue of existence of “Alam Sena” and its illegal acts so that truth is brought out. Alam Sena was an infamous squad formed and headed by Izhar Alam outside the regular police or para-military structure of Punjab or India.

Izhar Alam is proposed candidate for the forthcoming Punjab Assembly elections on ruling political party, the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) or the Badal Dal’s ticket. This party, once considered to be guardian of Sikh political rights, has fully colluded with the Indian State in what could be precisely termed as Indo-Sikh political conflict.

Radical Sikhs celebrate Gurpurab

Amritsar: Sticking to the original version of Nanakshahi calendar, radical Sikh groups on Thursday celebrated the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh.

The SGPC-managed gurdwaras celebrated the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh on December 31. Radical Sikhs, including Dal Khalsa activists, gathered at village Rajdhan, 35-km from here, and observed the day with great fervour.



Addressing the gathering, the speakers urged the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, to revert to the original calendar.

Celebrating the Gurpurab, the Dal Khalsa activists vowed to stick to the original version adopted by the Khalsa community in 2003.
