Sir,

It was before Operation Bluestar in 1984, when under the Supreme shadow of Akal Takht, Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindanwale, the 14th head of Damdami Taksal, assigned to AISSF a mission for Sikh political independence.

With his own sacred hands, Sant Bhindranwale recruited several Sikh enthusiasts in the lines of All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) and gave momentum to the Sikh cause.

Bhai Amrik Singh, son of 13th head of Damdmi Taksal and President of AISSF laid down his life, along with his accomplices to resist the devil bluestar from entering into the holy precincts of Akal Takht, an emblem of Sikh religious and political sovereignty.

Then, in front of post bluestar Akal Takht, an historic Sarbat Khalsa was organized by AISSF under Damdami Taksal in which important resolutions for the fulfillment of Sikh mission were passed.

The flame of the mission is glowing. All struggling factions and units of “federation” are required to unite as one. All determined and dedicated Federation Units and factions are expected to adopt the decisions and directions of executive body, further they are called to remove all hurdles from the scientifically organized approach towards the mission of Sikh sovereignty, still further they are urged to adopt a civilized modern methedalogy to wage an organized campaign against tyranny and in justice.

The Federation should continue to follow the directives of Damdami and Taksal under the supreme shadow of Akal Takht. Infact Federation and Taksal should be considered the two sides of the same coin and Akal Takht its stamp.

All separate organs contribute to form one single body, they work together for the single body and for the single mission.
