We are concerned ‘about his survival, The Punjab Police has murdered thousands: Sikhs under false encounters during, past 12 years.
‘Today we are observing 12th anniversary of massacre (a darkest page in Indian history) at the Golden Temple when Indian Army and Air force ‘sanctum sanctorum and killed thousands of innocent pilgrims including babies and elderly. We have not recovered from those inhuman atrocities Of in Government yet, rather seeing a continued pouring of salt on the wounds of Sikh masses. As Los Angeles ‘Times reported that the peaceful and law abiding citizen but we are being persecuted by Indian corrupt rulers.
