Gurdaspur/Patiala, Punjab (March 29, 2012): As per information available from various sources the police today opened fire on Sikhs who had gathered at a Gurudwara Sahib in Gurdaspur to prevent right wing Hindu organization Shiv Sena from burning effigy of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana, a Sikh political prisoner who is on death row.

“A youth was killed and another person injured when police allegedly fired to disperse a group of persons assembled near Ramgarhia Gurdwara on Tibri road in Gurdaspur this morning. Curfew was later clamped in the town in view of the tension” reports Hindustan Times.

Sikh Siyasat sources have told that Jaspal Singh (18) of Sidhwan Jamita village near Gurdaspur died on the spot, after he was shot at by Punjab police personnel. He is said to be student of Beant College, Gurdaspur. Curfew is installed in Gurdaspur.

It is notable that Badal Government in Punjab has tighten it’s grip on Sikh organizations and Sikh leaders and more than two hundred arrested are reported to have been made so far. On the other hand Government is not doing any thing to prevent Hindu right wing organizations like Shiv Sena and it’s activists.

There are reports from Patiala, Phagwara, Gurdaspur and Amritsar that Shiv Sena activists tried to burn the effigy of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana and attacked Sikhs. The police has so far made arrests of Sikh youth only. More than twenty five Sikhs are taken into custody from Amritsar, who were trying to prevent Shiv sena activists to march towards Sri Darbar Sahib. Shiv Seniks had declared to burn the effigy of Bhai Balwant Singh near Darbar Sahib complex.

    You can go have your khalistani freedom elsewhere. Hindus have been living on this land since 5000 years, since there were 7 rivers instead of 5…so go to england or pakistan and declare your khalistan. You aint getting shit over here.

    Waatching the sangat news, it is very apparentand clear that the police chased and attacked peacefully gathered Sikh youth.The police was firing their gins as if they were at WAR- AT CIVILIAN SIKH YOUTH WHO WERE ALL RUNNING AWAY.On their return the police was cheered and hugged by the Shiv sanikgangsters.The police was hugging them while the shiv sainiks were hugging the police.In addition was using the most foul language against the sikhs they chasing.This clip should be shown all world.This is open evidence that the police is in the pay of the shiv sainiks .Thisis evil police of the punjab.It is openly murdering sikh citizens.I am appalled.

    I don’t condone violence against any religion but loads of stories make it sound like skihs get picked on everything in life happens for a reason whether right or wrong. People did not suddently think oh lets beat sikhs there was a time where everyone was united and fighting for the country not a just one part of the land. Bhagat Singh would not want this shame on the people using this case to push forward Khalistan why can’t we just all get on and stay united. I don’t think Rajoana should be hanged as he technically didn’t do anything but then stick to this point don’t mention khalistan because that is not right.

  8. Gurvinder says:

    Hey Sunny, out of those 5000 years how many were as slaves to the foreign invaders? And how many of you stood up when your own sisters and daughters were taken from your homes by the Afghan invaders? Read and understand history.. We only seek freedom and dignity and quite honestly dont need or seek your permission to do so.. Just like we didnt for the Mughal nor the British imperialists..

  9. ninja says:

    LOL @ sunny, sure uve been living there for 5000 years under the oppression of various groups, u should be ashamed, uve only had control of ur country for like 60 years.

    STRATEGY OF CHEAP POLITICS :

    - Give stay on Rajoana hanging for few days

    - Bring unrest in Punjab by introducing Shiv Sena Activists (All of them are paid, no Real Hindus)

    - Change the focus of Sikhs from Sikhs v/s Government Movement To Sikhs V/s Hindu movement

    - Create more Violence in the state so that more military can be introduced

    - So that all the rallies in the support of Rajoana can be stopped

    - Innocent People will start fighting on the issue of Hindu- Sikh

    - Hang Balwant Singh Rajoana

    - Hindu-Sikh riots in Punjab and President rule will be implemented

    Divide and Rule Policy will work for us all the time !! So we request the people of punjab to UNDERSTAND the cheap politics going on. Don’t fight with anyone on the name of Religion even if someone excites you.

    God bless our Punjab

    Let us face the facts, there were obvious reasons Sikh leaders didn’t approve the constitution of India. Sikhs signatures to the Indian constitution which is Hindu, Hindi, Hindustan.

    India never was a country it was like Europe. So why is Indian Govt so focused on making into a Hindu nation?

  13. Gurcharan Singh Kulim says:

    THis is the very reason Sikhs should not link the issue of Khalistan with Bhai Balwant Singh ji’s case.THIS is what I repeatedly said on the Sikh Channel.The issue is about hanging- an universal issue- which we can use to turn around more than half of India against the central government.Slogans of Khalsiatan and raj karega Khalsa should be avoided here, please.The time now is one issue to get Balwant Singh JI released.

  14. Vikrant says:

    you are talking ab 1984 and demanding Khalistan as a Sikh country.Sikh was made by Hindus so that they can fight with muslims in war and thats why given a unique identity so that can not run from a war and if run they can be idetified and can killed by sikh army as well,so that was the intelligent move by the leader or guru of that time to fight the muslims and their cruelty,and hang on khalistan is not related with 1984 it was injustice and if you think you will kill some hindu when time come then it means you are doing the same with a date on your head.many of you everyday think,talk and doing kirtan about khalistan in your holy place and involving Waheguru into it and creating a dangerous,volatile,violent and hostile environment to start war against even to your own hindu neighbours even in punjab.I ask one simple question what about those hindu punjabis who got killed during the punjab terrorism time by sikhs. what about the justice to those people. most of you are inhuman because you are not a true sikh follower you even do not understand the meaning of sikh because your small mind cant see the true picture of the politicians and they have no relegion because no relegion will teach violence.fight or in war not only sikh but hindu rajputs,khatri,jats and kashmiri pandits were also involved so i think they need as well a seperate country or may be part of Punjab.check the history atleast about khatri [external link removed]

    and if possible check the history of kashmiri pandits history and fights with muslims.

    what else I can right I have no land to say where i die in piece and if you want to kill someone then kill me in the name of piece but fight with evil not with people.
