Sir,
We are astonished at the exclusion of the column “Jail Dibukkal Chon” which the WSN used to publish regularly in its Punjab section. It was a bridge between the readers of the WSN and the imprisoned freedom fighters. Perhaps it was dependent upon any individual or particular jail. Looking forward to seeing the column ret ducted. We have noted with concern that the WSN describes Afghan Mujahideen as rebels. We should be against what Moscow Delhi and puppet regime of Kabul write. The Mujahideen like the Sikhs are fighting for freedom and have a good name for sacrifice and winning a victory over the USSR.
The news items about Sikhs, the Mujahideen and the freedom fighters of the Indian held Kashmir should not use the word terrorist fundamentalist and rebel.

(The column was discontinued only for want of material. WSN would gladly start the column again. Contributions are welcome. Ed).
