Dear Editor,
As a Sikh youth. I would like to express my utter dismay as to the “recent activities of the World Sikh Organization and some of its most prominent members. The WSO is falling behind the times and for the sake of the Khalsa panth, quickly needs to catch up.
I offer the example of a recent meter written by the International President of the WSO, Didar Singh Bains (WSN, March 18,1994, p.4) “Bains states, ” human atrocities insult end before initiating any discussion of long term political so Jutions.” Bains has been active in the Sikh struggle for 10 years now.
He should know that ending human rights abuses and finding long term political solutions are inextricably linked. Human rights atrocities will only end when Khalistan is established Bains statement should have read. “human atrocities won’t end until Khalistan is free.” Maybe then Congressman Fazio would be sup- porting freedom for Khalistan right now like many of his other Democratic and Republican colleagues. In the future, the WSO should know that the Sikh nation will not be sold short of its goal of a free Khalistan. On behalf of the Sikh youth. I would like to say that we are resolved to fight for the independence of Khalistan like never before. The youth refuse to accept an organization which engages in little more than occasional ceremonies and dinner receptions which produce no concrete results. We are activists, and we will only support an activist leadership. Our support will only go to leaders such as Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh. of Council of Khalistan, an individual who is unflinchingly in support of Khalistan, and isn’t afraid to say so.
If Dr. Aulakh, Congressman. Condit, and other educated individuals openly and unflinchingly support Khalistan, then Didar. Bains and the WSO should do so as well. If the WSO fails to re- dedicate its organization to the principle of Khalistan and the practice of activism for Khalistan, its decline in popularity is likely to continue.
Khalistan Zindabad,
