Sikh refugees demand Indian citizenship

Wed, Feb 24 02:10 PM
Amritsar, Feb 24 (ANI): Following the brutal beheading of two Sikhs by Taliban in Pakistan, refugee Sikhs, hailing from Peshawar in Pakistan living in Amritsar have demanded that they should be given citizenship so that they can live in India safely with their families.
The refugee Sikhs expressed that their families and relatives in Peshawar and other tribal areas are under severe threat from Taliban and repatriation will cost them their lives as well.
About 60 Sikh families from Pakistan have taken refuge in Amritsar for the last couple of years.
Fearing intimidation from Taliban, the minority community has asked for adequate security from the Indian Government.
"Our mother, father, brothers and sisters are still living in Peshawar. It has been almost 15-16 years that we have been living here in India. We are happy here but our relatives back home are facing a tough time," said Sardar Singh, a refugee.
"It has been 15 years since we came to Punjab, but we haven't got citizenship as yet. Thus we can't even bring our relatives from Pakistan here," he added.

"People there tell our folks to leave and go to Punjab and people in Punjab say that you are foreigners. I ask which is my country. Am I a citizen of Pakistan, India or Afghanistan?" Sardar Singh questioned.
The Sikh refugees said that they approached the government several times and even sent request letters but many of them are still to get the Indian citizenship.
"We demand that the Indian government should give us citizenship so that we can bring our relatives here from Peshawar. We want them to live a safe and secure life, with their brothers here," said Satbir Singh, another refugee.
Thousands of Sikhs living in Pakistan's tribal belt adjoining Afghanistan have been trading in the region for generations.
In May 2009, the Sikhs joined an exodus of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the Taliban stronghold of Swat Valley, when the army launched an offensive in as a peace pact with the militants broke down. By Ravinder Singh Robin (ANI)

ANI is a false pro Indian and anti Pakistani and anti Khalistani channel.

From the above article Robin wants to convey that Sikhs are unsafe in "all" Pakistan which is not true .Not a single person is safe in Taliban controlled territory.If hundreds of Sikhs and Hindus have left Taliban area then thousands of muslims have also left that area.

Although we do not believe in the discrimination based on religion but since BJP was falsely showing sympathy with Sikhs ,now they should pay the 10 million Rupees ransom demanded by Taliban for release of the hindu computer engineer Robin Singh.

His father has asked India as well as the International community to get his son released.

The question is what was the computer engineer doing in that territory?
Similarly what are the 10,000 indian troops doing in Afghanistan ?

Aren't they indirectly responsible for the murder of the 2 Sikhs by Taliban ?

Now you people will say these Americans are also paid agents ?

The same Mosaad tactics are going to be used against the Sikhs by the hindutva forces as Mosaad is already training Punjab police.

Major Shrikant Purohit used "muslims" for his nefarious activities.There were reports as soon as Purohit was caught that he had contact with Israel and was learning the Chinese language also !

Mosaad angle is clear.This has started raising doubts about killing of the 2 Sikhs also.

Who did it ?

Dear "Ki Janna Tu kaun",

Is hatered towards Hindus is the only answer you have when reacting on what happened in NWFP? Will you be more happy if Congress shows sympathy towards what happened than BJP or Akali Dal? The formation of your dream "Khalistan" was not ended by BJP or Hindus but the Congress who initiated it in fact. Please stop living in fools' paradise and try to recognize the reality. You are more sympathetic towards Taliban and Pakistan than the brethren we lost to their barbarism.

It seems like you have some exclusive internal information from somewhere that India has ten thousand troops stationed there in Afghanistan!! Even the arch enemy of India Pakistan has never blamed India for such things. You are trying to trick people to believe that Taliban killed Sikhs due to imaginary Indian army? Sad to see that your falsehood is given space on this site. Maybe, that is why you call yourself "Ki Janna Main Kaun??"

I used to think that the site SPN is more spiritual and social and not the podium for disgruntled and over-clever people who wants hate to finish whatever is left. Let Punjab and Sikh live in peace, please. Thanks.

PS: You can call me a Hindu or BJP or RSS. It will be no price for speaking the truth as it is. True Sikh is one who has courage to speak against the hate and lies.

Please reconsider any decision to leave SPN. It is true we have given space to someone who has comported himself as you describe. On the other hand, please also realize/consider that on many threads, other members, moderators and admin have consistently made the same arguments that yourself make above.

A blanket of hatred suffocates any hope for reason to thrive.

Your reaction is a logical reaction.

At SPN we do give nearly everyone enough space and significant amounts of time to think through the feedback they get. Perhaps we are too lenient. Perhaps we give too much latitude for personal expression of views. But at the end of the day, this exhibition of bias and animosity is resolved according to SPN forum guidelines. This situation will be also resolved.

Is SPN endorsing this Quote posted by Mr. Balwinder Singh at the end of his comments?

…“Terrorism” is a description of a means, a method of deliberately attacking or threatening to attack civilian targets in order to achieve political goals. “Freedom fighting” is a description of an end, as a freedom fighter’s goal is national liberation. An individual could participate in “terrorism” and “freedom fighting” simultaneously, because one word describes means, while the other describes ends.

No we are not endorsing the quote which is in the forum member's signature. And when there are violations of terms of service in a signature, then we actually edit the signature. But first we do try to ask that the member remove it.

The signature quote that you quoted above is not a TOS violation, but the member's opinion. He is not breaking any other rule in that signature such as attacking a person, or proselytizing, etc.

Who kiled 40 Sikhs at Chhatisinghpora,Kashmir on the eve of President Clinton's visit to India ?
Read Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's book and you'll know.

There are 10,000 Indian troops in Afghanistan to protect the road contruction workers and engineers.They are there for some other purpose.

Just today Pakistan has blamed India for interfering in Balochistan.Although the media may lie there is no evidence but truth remains truth.

The barbarians in Pakistan have killed more than 5000 Pakistanis since 2008 and maimed and injured more than 12000 since 2008.Im quoting this as you are seeing Taliban and Pakistanis as same.They have 26/11 almost daily.Pakistanis in fact blame India for training "Taliban" .You can search on the web

Whereas the barbarians in India have killed 2 lakh Sikhs.
Your own Indian newspapers have claimed that colonel Shrikant Purohit ,the hindu terrorist leader in fact had contact with Israelis in other words the mosaad.The affinity between mosaad and hindutva forces is an open secret.

If you are really a Sikh(even if you support RSS) then you should know that the same mosaad tactics could be used against you or me also some day because the motive of RSS is "Hindi,Hindu,Hindustan"Mosaad is already training Punjab police .For what ?

Whereas the motive of Khalistan which you hate so much is "Sarbat daa bhaalaa" although GOI and the Indian media has tried it's best to malign the movement and the Sikhs as terrorists but truth always remains the truth.It has to come out ultimately and as a Sikh it is every Sikhs duty to have the courage to speak against the hate and lies

No country in this world can bring peace on the graves of other people(a whole generation of Amritdharis was finished in Punjab).

Jews suffered a similar holocaust but that resulted in a country Israel.

Even if India kills more Sikhs in Punjab the demand for sovereignity will not end.It is ridiculous to see people in Indian media claiming breaking up of Pakistan and then living in peace when 40,000 kms of India itself are under the control of naxalites.The naxal problem has resulted because of people of RSS thinking.

Suppose Khalistan movement is suppresed in Punjab naxalism will rise so long as the rightful demands of Sikhs are usurped by the center.

In the end mosaad may use it's tactics on the hindutva forces itself as they dont care about India or Pakistan and will in fact arm both to fight against each other .They along with USA only consider China as a threat.

In fact a right thinking hindu with id gkhkumar has asked all right thinking people of India and the world to save his country(India) from the hindu fanatics and fascists.You can search for this id on youtube

What a joke Naxalism = communism and it means Punjab's Rural farmers will loose their land
and no Farmer in his right mind of state will give up his worth rupees millions even he has to give his life or take other people's life.Naxalism is spreading in only those area's where people are extremely poor and don't have any resource in their hand
