Craig Scott, MP (Toronto-Danforth) delivers a statement in the House of
Commons on behalf of NDP Leader Tom Mulcair extending sympathies on the
28th anniversary of the tragic pogroms of 1984 that targeted the Sikh
community across India.
Jalandhar -
Slamming the Hindutva Indian system for failing to prosecute high and
mighty perpetrators of Nov 84 carnage, the Dal Khalsa has called upon
the UN to intervene for the sake of justice. The organization along
with other like minded bodies today squarely blamed the Hindutva Indian
system for bitterly failing to deliver justice to victims of Nov 1984
massacre of Sikhs even after 28 years of its occurrence. While judicial
process has began to show some results in bringing the perpetrators to
book in the cases of innocent killings of Muslims in Gujarat 2002, there
has been no sign of justice in the case of mad violence against the
Sikhs. The organizers were categorically of the view that how can
Sikhs expect justice from that state, which allowed the killings of
innocent Sikhs. Hundreds of activists associated with party’s youth
wing named ‘Sikh Youth of Punjab’ led by its president Ranbir Singh
today held a demonstration protesting against the Genocide and denial of
justice. They gathered at city’s busiest chowk to convey their concern
and message to passers by. Earlier, they performed Ardas at the
local gurdwara to pay homage to those who became victim of “politics of
genocide played by Hindutva Congress with the active connivance of
Hindutva state administration. The activists were carrying black
flags and placards on which it was imbibed “killings in Nov 1984, were
not riots but genocide. To draw attention of the people, they had a long
banner on which it was written “The state engineered the Nov 84
genocide, who will book the state. UN should intervene”. Addressing
the protestors, the leader of the radical party H S Dhami said the
justice was still a far cry. He said so far, by all standards, the
international community has let down the Sikh people. Through its
missions in Delhi, the UN and the five permanent members of UN Security
Council was witness to the black days of November when Sikhs were
slaughtered, maimed, women dishonored and children orphaned. “To the
best of our knowledge, no official statement or record exist admonishing
India’s poor political and police governance during that particular
period”. While talking with media party spokesperson Kanwar Pal
Singh said howsoever late it may be, we still seek world powers
intervention and influence on India to punish the guilty. The UN should
investigate the role of then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Home
Minister P V Narsima Rao in absentia for allegedly engineering the
massacre. The poster titled “Who is guilty” addressed to the civil
society was distributed to all passerby. The questions were raised that
includes “do you know about the barbarism of the Hindutva Congress &
RSS Fanatical hooligans of Delhi? Is India a civilized society? Is
India a secular country? Leader of SAD (Panch Pardani) Harpal Singh
Cheema and Baba Ajit Singh Lohgarh, SYP leader Prabhjot Singh also
participated in the demonstration.

Karva Chauth is today and is a Hindu practice where women/girls fast for their Husbands or nowadays even boyfriends,
however some people that consider themselves a Sikh follow this
practice too...please let us re-affirm the message from our Sikh Guru
Sahib, Dhan Dhan Shiri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj, Maharaj clearly rejected the idea of fasting:
ਛੋਡਹਿ ਅੰਨੁ ਕਰਹਿ ਪਾਖੰਡ ॥ ਨਾ ਸੋਹਾਗਨਿ ਨਾ ਓਹਿ ਰੰਡ ॥
She who partakes in forsaking grain and doing such a hypocrisy is neither married nor widowed.
Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 873.
varath naem karai bahu bhaathee || keeping fasts and making vows of all sorts
nehee thul raam naam beechaar || - none of these are equal to the contemplation of the Name of the Lord,
naanak guramukh naam japeeai eik baar ||1|| O Nanak, if, as Gurmukh, one chants the Naam, even once. ||1||
Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 265
You cannot be both Sikh and Hindu? You choose are you going to follow Sikhi or another faith??
We do not hold anything against any faith, however we do humbly request
Sikhs to follow the Sikh path properly, pretty simple really.
Thanks.Our Guru has taken us away from Pakhand such as this - STAY TRUE
TO YOUR ROOTS!
Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji ordered his Sikhs to stay away from the way of the Brahmin - Bipran Ki Reet.If you are true KAURS of Guru Sahib you will never follow the way of the Brahmin and never hold useless rituals/fasts.

SKY NEWS COVERS THE PETITION IN THE AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT IN REGARDS TO THE 1984 SIKH GENOCIDE
Hundreds of Sikhs visit the Australian parliament on the 28th anniversary of the Delhi pogroms as protests took place in India.
Protesters took to the streets in Delhi to mark the anniversary
An Australian MP has called for the country to recognise the killing of more than 37,000 Sikhs in India in 1984 as a genocide.
Warren Entsch tabled a petition of more than 4,000 signatures, calling
for the government to recognise "that an organised campaign of horrific
violence took place against Sikhs in November 1984".
Around 300 Australian Sikhs sat in the parliament's public gallery to
see the motion be put forward on the 28th anniversary of the events.
It calls for the violence, rape and killings to be recognised formally
and urges the Indian government to bring those responsible for
organising the campaign of violence to justice. Protestors in Delhi call for justice
Mr Entsch compared the events in Delhi to the persecution of the Jews
by the Nazis saying: "the continued denial of such historical injustices
can only encourage modern-day crimes against humanity."
He paid tribute to the growing and affluent Sikh community who have
been a "vibrant part of the Australian cultural mosaic since 1897".
He said he felt it was the right thing to do after being told about
Sikh culture, tradition and religion by his friend Daljit Singh, adding:
"That is why I commenced this journey two years ago and I hope our aims
will be taken in that context." Current Indian PM Manmohan Singh visited the funeral spot of Indira Gandhi
Daljit Singh said: "For Warren Entsch to take this issue to parliament
is not only unforgettable for the Sikhs in Australia, but for the whole
Sikh nation around the world. To speak against cruelty and genocide is a
service to mankind."
It is the first time such a petition about the controversial killing of
thousands of Sikhs has been put forward outside of the sub-continent. The assassination of Indira Gandhi was met with violence against Sikh
In India survivors of the atrocities marched through the capital in
protest at no prosecutions being brought forward despite numerous
commissions set up to investigate the violent mob attacks.
In August 2005, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh apologised in the Indian
parliament for the attacks and forced the resignation of Congress
minister Jagdish Tytler, who is alleged to have been involved.
The orchestrated violence against Sikhs in the capital Delhi took place
after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by two of her
Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.
Her death came five months after she ordered the Indian army to storm
the holy Harimandir Sahib (or Golden Temple) complex in Amritsar and
other Sikh places of worship in the Punjab where armed Sikhs were
seeking redress for their grievances.
