Sir,
We ask you to remember the five million enslaved Kashmiri Muslims to whom freedom has been denied for over forty years by India, despite a 1949 United Nations resolution calling for a plebiscite in Kashmir. For forty two years India has flouted world opinion, thwarted international law and perpetuated a Nazi reign of terror in our beautiful homeland which was occupied by fraud in 1947.
It is our sincere belief that Allah has heard our prayers and freedom for Kashmir is now around the comer thanks to the heroic struggle of the brave and gallant Sikhs (a warrior people who, unlike the Hindus, believe in one God and do not pray to any idol) who having been double crossed have declared the area they live in, Khalistan, independent of India as of October 7, 1987. One look at the map of South Asia or India will tell you that the Star and Crescent of Islam will fly in Srinagar, the Capital of Kashmir, Jammu and Leh the very day the Sikhs succeed in hoisting the Khalistan flag on the Golden Temple in the Holy city of Amritsar, the foundation stone of which incidentally was laid by a Muslim Saint Hazrat Mian Meer many centuries ago.
Don’t believe the Hindu propaganda the Sikhs are indeed leaping to freedom and no power on earth, least of all a bunch of Banyas, can stop their onward march to independence. The day of freedom for the Sikh nation is about to dawn thanks to the reign of terror unleashed by the largest democracy in the world in the Punjab area of Khalistan and the grim determination of a brave and gallant people to survive?
With very deep emotion we appeal to all compassionate Muslims to wholeheartedly support the brave Sikhs in their struggle for Khalistan as any support for these. God fearing people are support for your five million Kashmiri Muslim brothers and their cause of freedom. Don’t forget there are thousands of Sikhs serving in occupied Kashmir and their goodwill could make a difference between life and death for our brave Kashmiri freedom fighters.
