CHANDIGARH: Indias ruling Congress Party offer of $333,333 or million rupees to any once who assassinate Pakistan writer Sadiq Hussain the direct violation of Sikh principle Hussain’s book Tarik-e-Mujahedeen (History of the Rebels) contains pro fane and derogatory remarks about the Sikh Gurus who are revered by the world’s 21 million Sikhs. The Congress Party is the ruling India’s political party it is not a Sikh religious group of any kind. It was uh Congress Party that attacked the holy Sikh Golden Temple in June 1994. And is still despised by Sikhs the world over No popular Sikh group has endorsed or supported the Congress Party’s death warrant. The death warrant which subverts Sikh religious institutions and procedures for dealing with Hussain’s book is the first of its kind in Sikh history.
Indeed the death warrant was issued in a statement on March 6 by Ramesh Singla of the Congress Party who is Hindu not a Sikh Commenting on the Congress party death warrant Dr. Gurmeet Singh Aulakh of Council of Khalistan has categorically condemned the Congress Party’s attack on the natural catholicity of the Sikh religion How dare the Congress Party attack the Sikh region by issuing a death warrant be each of Sikh principles. How dare the Congress Party subvert the authority of the Akal Takht (seat of Sikh temporal authority in Amritsar Punjab-Khalistan) to deal with this matter said Dr Aulakh. The Congress Party destroyed the Akal Takht in June 1984 and it is attacking the Akal Takht again by issuing this death warrant. The Sikh nation will not stand for it he announced.
If the Congress Party wants to help the Sikh Nation it should respect October 7, 1987 declaration of Independence and vacate Khalistan immediately a press note said. Tis the height of hypocrisy for the Congress Party whose government has murdered Sikhs it deems as terrorist to issue this death warrant. Why doesn’t Punjab Police Chief K P.S. Gill arrest and kill Congress party member for encouraging terriosm as does and has done to Sikhs in Punjab Khalistan for supposedly engaging in the same crimes The press statement added that it is quite possible that this controversy in order to graner support for the Indian government and the congress party are.
