Dear Khalsa Ji:
Great changes are afoot. The new regime, under VP Singh, is starting to show its true colors not only in Punjab but in Kashmir as well, While ordering his military ‘troops to fire randomly on crowds of innocent Kashmir’s demonstrating for an independent nation, he ordered that all Indian and foreign journalists be expelled from Kashmir.
In Punjab, as you well know, Sikh separatist leaders are being systematically eliminated. First, Jagdev Singh Khvdian, ‘whom authorities declared had killed himself, followed by the gunning down of AISSF secretary Harminder Singh Sandhu. Don’t be fooled by Indian government propaganda the BJP and the Communists who are backing VP Singh believe that killing any and all separatists in other words, any Amrit Dhari Sikh is the only solution to the “Punjab problem.”
The brave Kashmiris have openly expressed their desire for freedom and the world is taking notice. Since protesters have hit the streets in Srinagar and elsewhere, world press coverage on Kashmir and its demand for independence has increased tenfold. The Indian government can no longer silence the men, women and children of Kashmir. They can no longer silence them with repressive laws and gunfire. The Muslim members of the Kashmiri security forces have joined with their Kashmiri brothers and sisters to break the yoke of Indian oppression. Now that all Kashmiris have organized and demonstrated their popular will, the World has taken notice and India will finally be held accountable,
‘We can gain inspiration from the Kashmiris and their struggle for freedom; they have dispensed with their petty differences and factionalism and have united under the ‘common cause of independence. Sikhs must do the same if we are to expedite free Khalistan. The longer we sit idle, the longer we stay disorganized in different groups and factions the greater the number of Sikhs who will either die in prisons or in fake encounters. The Sikh members of the ‘occupying security forces in Punjab, including police, must stand with their people and liberate Khalistan like their police and security counterparts in Kashmir. The deaths of Sardar Khudian and Sardar Sandhu should be ample warming of what the new government of India has in store for Sikhs.
Sikhs must also realize that the VP Singh’s new government is stepping closer and closer to war with Pakistan. By accusing the Pakistanis of aiding the Kashmiri’s as well as the Sikhs, the Indians will use the excuse to declare war. Since Punjab is the border for both Kashmir and Pakistan, India will expect us to fight for them just as we have done in past wars with Pakistan, We all know the rules of war; if we don’t fight for Hindustan, and Hindustan will consider us as the enemy and will destroy every Sikh to assure victory over Pakistan.
Khalsa ji, it is time we finally read the writing on the wall. The history of the Sikhs in independent India clearly tells us that democracy has no place in Hindustan. India may be able to fool the world about what it is doing in Punjab, but the truth of Kashmiris already being exposed. Only by uniting under Khalistan can the Sikh Nation survive and the truth of our persecution be known
Remember, “Khalsa Jan Badshah, Jan Bagi!”
