Sir,

We all know that there are a lot of Sikhs working individually or as a party taking different paths to achieve the one and only goal “Khalistan”, and in doing so one sacrifices ones time, family, and the warmth, of one’s home by being away. Some may be behind bars getting humiliated and tortured by the Indian Police or Security Forces ending at times, life itself. The unfortunate fact is, it’s all going down the drain until and unless we all stand united in Body, Mind, Soul and in Action,

However, there are two reasons we cannot achieve the above. One being that the Brahmanical Indian Government plays its politics and strategies. (I must say that they are doing an extremely good job in splitting us up and pitting us against one another) The second and the most damaging to the cause are some of our own people, who individually or as a Party for their personal motives and Political goals would go to any length to poison the minds of our Sikh brothers and sisters against one another, not only diverting their own energy but the energy of the entire Sikh Force from our main Objective.

It was the latter that extremely concerned Col, Partap Singh during his stay in the United States. How true his concerns were, as someone on April 25 at Guru Nanak Foundation in Washington D.C. stated, that his (Bains) arrest, imprisonment and torture is just an eye wash and that he is an Agent of the Indian Government. Surprisingly, they did not have the decency to say that while he was here though they may claim otherwise. From this we can only come to one conclusion, since the Col, is behind bars and is unable to defend himself against their accusations, these people are trying to take advantage of the situation for their personal motives and political goals, All we can say that is its sheer cowardice on their part and does not behave a Sikh to do the same,

Sir, in the United States for one to grab a microphone and say whatever one wants to is easy, the difficult part is to go to India and face the Indian Government, its Police and Security forces, get arrested, humiliated and tortured as Justice Ajit Singh Bains and Col. Partap Singh have done. Though we know the person and the Party concerned, we are not going to expose them for the following reasons:

1) After all, they are Sikhs and we find it below our dignity to do so.

2) Ignorance is not a crime.

3) Our Sikh brothers and Sisters with a bit of intelligence know the sacrifices the Col. has made so far and are fully aware, especially those who have read his book “Khalistan The Only Solution,” that he was fully committed, is committed and will be committed to the cause to his last breath, The only request we want to make to the Sikhs is, let us not get involved in dirty Politics and waste our energy and efforts in maligning one another and stray away from our main Objective. In fact, let us forget our past and present personal and Party differences, join hands now, and do whatever lite we can within our means and capacity to promote our Cause, failing which “Khalistan” will just be a dream.
