Badal seeks PM’s intervention on Pakistan-based Sikh lawyer
December 21st, 2009 - 10:28 pm ICT by IANS ( 4 comments )
Chandigarh, Dec 21 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take up with Islamabad the issue of a Pakistan-based Sikh lawyer’s hair being forcibly cut by a group of Muslims.
“In a letter written to the prime minister, Badal has highlighted the plight of a tormented Sikh family in Pakistan. It was reported in press on Dec 15 that a Sikh lawyer Anup Singh was thrashed and his hair was cut forcefully by a group of Muslims as he reportedly refused to embrace Islam,” the state government spokesperson said Monday.
“The lawyer was later booked by police under section 452 (house trespass, restraining or putting any person in fear of hurt) of the Pakistan Penal Xode. His brother Ravinder Singh is also facing the threat of being arrested by the police. The beleaguered family has fled from their native village and has taken shelter at gurudwara Panja Sahib in Hassnabdal,” the spokesman added.
Badal has sought the personal intervention of Manmohan Singh and urged him to take up the matter with the Pakistan government for providing relief to the distressed family and ensuring their safety and security.
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar, accompanied by a delegation, met Pakistan high commission officials in New Delhi Monday and submitted a memorandum apprising them about Anup Singh’s case and other cases of atrocities against Sikhs and religious institutions in Pakistan.
SGPC, the mini-parliament of the Sikh religion, manages gurdwaras in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and is the most powerful body in the Sikh politico-religious set up.
The holiest of Sikh shrines, Harmandar Sahib (popularly called Golden Temple), located in Punjab’s holy city Amritsar, is also managed by the SGPC.

Shameful act-National Human Rights Commission
failed to act. Why?
1. The so-called Babas in India are product of Central agencies, politicians and administrators including police of corrupt and spoiled system.
2. Who prevented the National Human Rights Commission (Full Commission) to remain undecided and inclusive to fix the responsibility for the shameful act in the cases in view of the prevailing menace through out India?

IN RE: Submission :Sikh Boy Made Impotent- Request and Relief: Action and ensure safety of other children who are helpless and in custody of so called saints running the Akharas, Deras etc in India in connivance with the respective governments and it seems Union Of India and its agencies are actively involved in such inhuman and cruel acts.
In Continuation of the Complaint sent through email on the Subject
Sir,
I am forwarding a copy of the complaint dated: 22-8-2003 for favour of consideration and necessary suitable action.
2. That on 13-9-2003 in the morning about 25-30 persons along with Sh. Talib Singh Sandhu Ex-MLA and one advocate Narinder Singh Gill came at my residence to pressurize me not to pursue this complaint any further as they are all followers of Sant Balwant Singh otherwise to face consequences.
3. That Jaswant Singh then Jhanda Singh then Jhanda Dass now Amritdhari Sikh was also brought by them and visibly appeared to be under some threat and feeling disturbed & unsafe.
4. That in the evening on the same day two successive telephone calls from a lady claiming herself to be the wife of said advocate, a follower of Sant Balwant Singh since her childhood were received and she also requested me not to pursue the complaint any further. On my showing inability to do so, she gave veiled threats to face the wrath of crowd of ladies brought by her to force me to follow their dictates.
5. That thereafter two successive telephone calls, on the same night, from unknown persons were received by me near about 9 PM pressurizing me not to proceed with the complaint otherwise they would bring a crowd of one hundred persons at my residence to settle with me, but I advised them not tread such a path.
6, That I expect more such calls with threats in the coming days.
It, therefore, prayed that suitable action be taken in all respects and effective measures may be taken as earlier as possible to ensure justice in the matter.
Dated: 14-9-2003

The Conferences at Shaheedi Sammelan -An Analysis
The Sikh Vichar Manch was of the view after assessing and analyzing the political conferences at Shaheedi sammelan on the historic occasion of 305th martyrdom day that the congress or any other party through the central agencies shall not play to field and use seriously their spineless and non-poisonous snakes, so-called Panthic leaders against the Shiromani Akali Dal headed by Badals in the coming Shiromani Gurdawara Parbhanbdak Committee (SGPC) elections.
There is possibility of mutual internal adjustment i.e. friendly match with “Panthic leaders” on a few seats to project the image that the SGPC elections held in a very healthy atmosphere and is the result of mature democratic process.
The government of India stands exposed badly for adopting mean and deceptive tactics also in religious matters and for the reasons, neither seems in a mood to vitiate the religious atmosphere nor would be now appreciated as a vitiator in Punjab.

Identify The Sikhs, Who Is Who?
By Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhiana
It was very positive and the encouraging step for Sikhs that ‘Panj Piaras’ comprising former Jathedars of Takhts and granthis, Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti, Giani Kewal Singh, Prof Manjit Singh, Giani Charan Singh and Giani Narinder Singh submit Darshan Singh’s clarification on his controversial remarks to Jathedar, Akal Takht, Giani Gurbachan Singh on 25 December 2009 to avoid any friction in and or division of Sikhs and for the permanent solution of the issues of the community which must be sorted out by forming a religious panel.
Whoever was participating in burning effigies etc due to factionalism and divides Sikhs, was worthy to be called a Sikh?
Was it not the behaviour of all politically motivated Sikhs, divided on the lines of factionalism within Sikhs at the instance of anti-Sikh forces or of their own reasons?
Were the only non-party and the non-politically motivated Sikhs not true Sikhs now?
