Dear Editor
We have declared Khalistan independence and we will not be deterred. But how will Khalistan be liberated? As President of the Council f Khalistan I have seen a great deal in our nations struggle for independence. Today one thing stands clearly in my mind A Shantmai (peaceful) morchas the only means through which Khalistan will be liberated The Sikhs control Khalistan. We physically own 95% of Khalistan The moment even 5% of the Sikh nation peacefully fills Indias jails is the moment the Indian government will tremble.
Though the sacrifice required to liberate Khalistan maybe high as WEB. Dubois said the price of repression is higher than the cost of liberty. Think of the consequences of inaction. How many more years must we suffer. Will our children and grandchildren have to suffer the same humiliation the same murder the same rape the same tenure as the Sikh nation now suffers? Will there be more children like six year old Ranbir Singh Dhami who will be imprisoned by the Delhi Sarkar?
Khalsa Ji when you think about our future under Delhi rule I want you to think of six year old Ranbir Singh Dhami. This young boy’s father Kanwar Singh Dhami was asked to surrender before media at a press conference in Chandigarh on March 29 1994 refusing to read from his scripted surrender Mr Dhami told the press that he would prefer to die than to surrender. T.K.PS. Gills see in front of the press Mr Dhami old Gill that he was a murderer a reincarnation of Aurangzeb. As embarrassed police officials forcibly removed Mr Dhami from the conference he raised Khalistan Zindabad slogans Mr Dhami told press persons that he feared for the elimination of his family.
Sure enough the Dhami did Jose a member of their family. After the press conference police Officials hung the five month pregnant Mrs. Dhami upside down and beat her Mrs. Dhami started bleeding and as a result lost her unborn child. Inexcusably young Ranbir Singh was forced to watch his parents torture Khalsaji can you imagine the psychological trauma inflicted Upon a child who has watched his parents being tortured? What did a child do to deserve this? Was it a crime for his father to ask for freedom? Why is six year old Ranbir Singh Dhami still in detention despite a high court order to release him? Is a six year old such a great threat to Delhi authorities that he must be imprisoned? Unfortunately the answer is YES. If a child is a Sikh child then he is a threat to India.
There is no alternative to Khalistan. Those who don’t come out openly for Khalistan should do some soul searching. How do they plan to protect Sikh lives Sikh babies short of outright freedom for the Sikh nation? After years of political economic cultural and human degradation the Delhi government has lost all its credibility 11 18 no longer fit to rule the Sikhs in the Sikh home land. Now like our ancestors the Khalsa shall again have its Raj in the Sikhi homeland i call upon the Khalsa Panth to begin a Peaceful Morcha for the Liberation of Khalistan.
We must begin to fill the road ways and the jails if even 1000 Sikhs peacefully block the mad ways tomorrow with the sole and stated intention of freeing Khalistan then word headlines will be made tomorrow If this continues on for a week then world leaders will take notice. If it continues for a month then the international community will get involved Eventually India will be pressured to vacate Khalistan. But let me remind you that we will be successful only as long as we fill the jails in a peaceful way. The moment we become violent is the moment that the Sikh nation is portrayed as terrorists Violence will allow the Indian government to brutally crack down on us and have an excuse for it. Agents of the Indian government will infiltrate our movement and defame it. Under no circumstances should we engage in violence we must remain peaceful but resolute.
Consistent peaceful agitation is the key to our freedom If the Sikh nation begins a peaceful morcha for independence and sticks to it then Khalistan will be free this year The Sikhs outside Khalistan have created conditions where the international community is ready to support the Sikhs in Khalistan as long as they agitate for independence peacefully. Khalsa Bagi Yan Bad shah This our heritage Khalsa Ji. We must be brave but we must also be smart. Be brave enough to agitate for independence like our ancestors who prayed Raj Karega Khalsa and meant it But also be smart enough to peacefully agitate for Khalistan so that our liberation comes easier and quicker The burden of history is on our shoulders. We must work to create & future that is safe for our children and future generations only outright independence can guarantee this Raj Karega Khalsa! Khalistan Zindabad!
