Dear Mr. Gandhi,
Since my first letter of 25th May, 1986, I have written you at least nine letters and as expected you have chosen not to answer any of them. Consequently you have failed to answer any of the questions which I raised regarding the issue of the Sikh Nation, which is under the illegal occupation of the Indian armed forces as a result of your administration policies. One of the questions which I raised in my 25th May 1986 letter concerned Mr. Mann’s imprisonment and denial of his basic human as well as political prisoner rights while erated Mr Mann was arrested shortly following Operation Bluestar in June 1984, because he found it unacceptable to rubber stamp the policy of your predecessor, Indira Gandhi (India’s Hitler No. 1) towards the Sikh nation. In his resignation letter Mr. Mann questioned the then President of the so called largest democratic republic of the world as to how he could, as constitutional head and supreme commander of the armed forces, sign such an order authorizing the attack upon the Vatican of the Sikh people. Mr. Mann also informed him that the actual casualties from Operation Bluestar were not a few hundred as falsely relayed by the administration of your predecessor and its morally bankrupt publicity machinery. In fact, the Indian infantry armored and artillery divisions and air and naval units butchered more than 50,000 innocent infants, children, youths and elderly Sikhs. For his plain and truthful writing he was arrested and detained in Bihar state, In reprisal, Mr. Mann was denied his fundamental rights. He was tortured and forced to submit
a confession and/or an admission that he conspired to assassinate Indira Gandhi (India’s Hitler No. 1), while he was kept in a no ventilated dark cell with a prisoner of mental disorder. He was denied medical facilities, man handled, forcibly moved by pulling his hair and beard, subjected to the forcible placement of tobacco, whose use is prohibited by the Sikh faith, within his mouth by the prison authorities. Despite each of the inhumane acts committed by your administration, the Indian police force not only failed to extract a confession from Mr, Mann for a crime he did not commit, but it also denied him a trial by jury since they knew well that they had no legitimate case against him. Recently, Mr. Mann has been transferred to the historical Tihar jail, where two innocent Sikhs, Sardar Beant Singh and Sardar Kehar Singh, were executed on 6th January 1989, on your insistence. Your law enforcing agencies and cronies like Buta Singh, a Cabinet Minister and others, are trying their best to implicate Mr. Mann in the assassination of Indira Gandhi. Mr. Gandhi, if you are so innocent and your family members and cronies did not conceive of the plan to kill your mother, Indira Gandhi on 31st October 1984, why did you refuse to testify in S. Beant Singh and S. Kehar Singh’s trials? Mr. Gandhi who was the person who said at the Calcutta airport, “let us teach these bastards the Sikhsa lesson” shortly prior to leaving for Delhi on 31st October 1984? I firmly believe that you know very well who the killer is of India’s Hitler No 1. You have, under the umbrella of black laws of the Indian Parliament, succeeded in making the innocent Sikhs and their Nation victims of your vicious policies of “brahmincal as well as Kashmiri Pandits” polluted politics to put it mildly. However, the ultimate solution of the Sikh issues of the Sikh Nation is not as you, your cronies and your mighty armed forces wish to perceive it, In addition democratic and peace loving countries are becoming aware of the situation, which Indian administrations have created based on betrayals of and false promises to the Sikhs, since 15th August, 1947. I am certain that one day truth will prevail.
You may succeed in implicating S. Simranjit Singh Mann, just as you succeeded on January 1989, (see above). However you must not forget that the Sikhs and their nation have a long history of sacrifices to protect truth and peace. I may add that “if the administration were to permita fresh enquiry by the international tribunal of jurists into the assassinations of the Father of your country, Mohandas. Karamchand Gandhi I have no doubt that the verdict of this tribunal would be altogether different than that told to the world by the Nehru administration after 30th January, 1948. One should not be surprised if the tribunal finds the “hatchmen” within the Indian administration(s).
Anyway, it remains to be seen who will win eventually.
