A one day World Sikh Conference will be held on June 30,
1990, in the Metropolitan Washington area, which will bring together Sikhs
from all over the world.
The purpose of this conference is to discuss National and International
Sikh issues including the present Sikh struggle for freedom – Khalistan.
There will be discussions, resolutions, and the implementation of the proposed
resolutions.
Freedom and liberty are very dear to the Sikhs. In the words of Thomas
Jefferson – “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to
secure these rights governments are instituted among men.”
Endowed with the richest heritage in the world, the Sikhs were
transformed into the Khalsa by the Tenth Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh . The 230 –
year evolutionary process made the Khalsa the guardian-angles of the oppressed
and to fight against injustice and tyranny.
The recent history of the Sikhs has been very trying and traumatic.
Problems have persisted amidst divisiveness amongst the Sikhs themselves.
This conference aims to promote discussion while strengthening, and bringing
Cohesiveness to the Sikh community.
All the Sikhs and the Sikh Organizations are cordially invited to attend this conference. Accommodation will be available for those who do not have any local arrangements.
