Amritsar, Punjab (January 30, 2012): Indian media was reporting since last two months that Pro-Khalistan Sikh leaders, allegedly hiding somewhere in Pakistan, were planning to trigger blasts to halt election process in Punjab.
If Indian media want to hide facts like: Prof. Bhullar’s conviction is based on fractured confession extracted through torture in police custody, and that statement of confession carried thumb impression and not the signatures, and that presiding judge of supreme court bench acquitted Prof Bhullar and said that statement of confession was bundle of lies framed by the police, and that Bhullar’s family members were persecuted, subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and custodial killings, it can do so, because Indian media is free to not to report these things. But Indian media has not right to report false information. That’s why I believe that Indian media had launched a disinformation war against the Sikhs.
With connivance of Badal-BJP ruling alliance, Hindu extremist organizations are wildly active in hurting Sikh feelings. So many events have happened in past few weeks that indicate towards rising trend of Indo-Sikh Conflict.
Ludhiana (April 15, 2010): Two young Hindus boys were killed by some unidentified persons in the State of Punjab during 1980s. A Prominent English daily then published a report on front page making an impression that their newly wedded brides are now turned widows and the prospects of life of these Hindu women are destroyed by (Sikh) extremists.
Melbourne (January 30, 2010): The New South Wales police ruled out a race angle in the murder of Ranjodh Singh, a contact worker of Indian Origin; and arrested three Indians, including a young couple, for the crime.
Melbourne (January 27, 2010): Reports of attacks on students of Indian origin hit newspapers headline regularly. Australia has a multi-cultural population and in recent years many students from Asian countries have migrated here. Students of Indian origin form considerable portion of such migrant learners.
Melbourne (January 27, 2010): The Sikh Federation of Australia has written to Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh to take urgent action against irresponsible Indian media who are creating sensation on the issue of attacks on Indian students in Australia.
Melbourne (January 27, 2010): The situation of students of Indian origin in Oz is turning worse as recurring reports of fresh attacks are coming out. As per reports from Melbourne (Australia), two more students of Indian origin were attacked by some mischievous elements on 26th January, here.
It is very unfortunate that in the last one month, the pro-Indira print media/Congress party supporters have dug up the wounds of the Sikh community again by portraying her as Godess/”Devi” and remembering her as the courageous woman, iron lady, mother India, iconic leader, visionary leader, charismatic leader, martyr, unifier of the country and the list goes on.
Indian State’s favorite ‘Pakistan Conspiracy Theory’ is very popular among Indian Media especially a news agency “Asia News International” (ANI). We have come across another attempt by ANI to undermine the problem of increasing drug addiction in Punjab. According to international studies drug addition is a form/tactic used in genocidal processes. News titled “Radio Pakistan ‘concerned’ about drug-addiction” (in Punjab) reported by ANI is published by Trak.in news (may be published by others also).
