Dear Sir,
Please note the article in your newspaper of 10th April titled “Four Will Die For Each Policeman Killed, Punjab Chief Vows”.
This statement by the police chief Julio Riebeire says it all. It portrays the attitude of the Gandhi Govt and Hindus at large toward India’s minorities. This time they happen to the Sikhs.
In the Second World War Nazis Use to retaliate by wiping by the freedom fighters (In 1943 at Kragvuevaz in Yugoslavia all the high school children were killed by Nazies.
It only drove more civilians into the ranks of the underground. Treating Punjab like an occupied country will not work. For they should know that it is not possible to Kill the idea of Human Rights, Religious and democratic freedoms with guns.
By now it is firmly established that had the media not distorted facts and events the state of Punjab ‘would have been spared the grim tragedy that overlook it in 1984 and countries to plague it since then, The Arya Samaj press of Jullundur and Delhi is clearly guilty of this and so are to a lesser degree journalists like Kuldip Nayar, Khushwant Singh, Arun Shourie and Prem Bhatia to name only a few.
In his latest article (ILA. April 18, 1986) Mr. Nayar writes that the Khalistan is are trying to feed the Sikh masses many myths; one of them is that Jawahar Lal Neh promised to establish an antonymous Sikh region in Free India but later reneged”.
I want to draw his attention to Mr Nehr’s July 6, 1946 Press ‘Conference held in Calcutta wherein after the All India Congress Working Committee’s session he said “The brave Sikhs of the Punjab are entitled to special consideration. I see nothing wrong in an area and set up in the North wherein the Sikhs can also experience the glow of freedom”.
Mr. Nayar can visit 7 Jantar Mantar Road New Delhi to verify this himself from the A.I.C.C. Archives or look into the old files of The Statesman and Hindustan Times for this confirmation.
Sincerely,

Dear Editor:
In the issue of World Sikh News » March 21, 1986, S, Surjeet Singh Maur gives the following translation:
This is evidently not correct. In the Sikh religion Vol. I and U, MacAuliffe gives the following translation:
“By thinking I cannot obtain a conception of Him, even though I think hundreds of thousands of times” (Page 196) or in other words it can be translated as follows:
“By pondering, a man cannot have a conception of God, even though he may ponder over him lakhs of times.”
0r in Punjabi language we can say.
I hope you will correct the interpretation in your next issue as it is clearly misleading and incorrect.
Sincerely,
Amarjit Singh Buttar
