We are now judging by the hindsight. What could be the other alternative to KPS Gill? I remember no one really objecting to TADA etc. All politicians of Punjab were just waiting for terrorism to end. If Badal goes, someone else will come who may be even worse.
You know how we pray that our current boss goes away.... only to find new boss even worse!!!
One scenario is that corrupt politicians had never allow police to have full powers. Then terrorism would have continued at a slow pace. Do you think we had got Khalistan? No way. It is not that simple to get your own country.
Moreover, the powers were given by centre because afterall only sikhs were to be sacrificed. This may have been the real reason for success as there was clarity about final outcome and goal. As can be judged by riots and after reaction, masses in India do not want sikhs to prosper, so it was easy to formulate startegy without much opposition. Whatever sikhs were in Delhi... Buta, jail Singh Badal etc had no power to object... otherwise how is it possible that Jail singh was president and nothing favoring sikhs could be done? they were being killed on roads and no presidential orders came?
Entire india was listening to BBC except Jail Singh? Everyone was aware of backlash... even at 1200 noon on 31st october 1984 when my brother was advised to go back home from Parliament street in New Delhi, but not people who could have made the change? If Jail singh was not knowing, then what about Badal, Buta etc.
When KPS went to Chhatisgarh, CM did not act on his advice... no sikh or other religion killing was involved and matter might have involved disrupting coruption channels.
True colours of a person come to forefront only at the time of testing times. When Indiara Gandhi Died, everyone in Delhi including Rajiv, Amitabh, sajjan etc were against sikhs. Even some of my co-students were not happy with me.
KPS was following his duty... there is no denying it. If it had been that bad, why most of Punjab police was following his orders? What if there was a corrupt Police chief instead of KPS?
I am sure he had this fear of revolt by PP in his mind. Why so many Special police officers, mostly sikhs, were recruited without much opposition? ... so there was support for ending Khalistan movement... for sure.
I am not taking any side.I had only media reports about Punjab ... no other source.
Later, I found out about misuse of power by PP. Basically, that is the main issue for going against KPS.
But what else should have been the method?
KPS proved by example, that operation blue star was a mistake and not required.
If Khalistan movement is still alive, then why do not Simranjit and Daljit Bittu or some other new leader, youth federation, fight for river waters and create a mass movement. Why we have so many Hot headed Akali Dals.....and why do not they get support. You need oil to run machinery and you need leaadership to get attention of masses. I would say, Ashutosh gets more attention from masses than Simranjit.
I am sure entire Punjab will be with them for protecting there livelihood which is dependent on river water. First ensure food to my stomach and then we can think about other matters.
Let us start.
We should also look inwards.
The simple reason why Mann and Bittu dont get more "votes" than badal is quite complicated.It is an open secret how politicians win elections in Punjab ie mass use of drugs,money,threat etc.Sometimes if these tactics dont work then goons of various political parties go to various homes particularly poor people after election for voting for a particular rival candidate and burn them down
The cunning badal dal and congress have understood how to lure ordinary people that is why they have been using various singers to lure people to their rallies.
Deravaad(Sikh and non Sikh) which has been deliberately encouraged in Punjab and succusive govts distribute heaps of money to these deras in the name of social work which in turn helps in consolidating their respective vote banks.
The bahman bania fascist clan (RSS and hindutva forces)which does not support Khalistan for their own vested interests is also encouraged by successive Punjab parties.
So the combined vote bank of the dervaadi people including the fascists is more than ordinary Sikhs as ordinary Sikhs dont vote enmass for one political party based on local considerations and affiliations also.When the Sikhs did vote enmass Mr Mann won by a record margin of over 4 lakh votes in Tarn Taran parliamentary constituency.
The RSS and it's puppies have been making all efforts to diminish that vote bank by all means.Congress,BJP,RSS all are same .So in the name of congress they wreaked havoc in Tarn Taran area by resorting to mass killing and at the same time encouraging deravaad as a result they have been able to distribute the Sikh vote bank.
This sort of exploitative political system is no longer acceptable to most Punjabis.
But the reversal process has already started which is giving sleepless nights to the BJP,Hindutva forces including Badal.Although it has been made clear time and again that Khalistan is not against any religion or community but is in fact "Haleemi Raaj" of Maharaja Ranjit Singh where no one feared anyone but the Hindutva forces are trying to prove that it is a terrorist movement but to their surprise they are failing miserably as not only Sikhs but poor and lower middle class of Hindus have also supporting Khalistan.
In one interview some one asked Mr Mann what he has gained after so many years of struggle ,Mr Mann told the interviewer badal,capt amrinder and other BJP,Congress leaders have to take the help of Z plus security to roam around in Punjab whereas he moves around freely amongst people without any security .This shows how much people in Punjab love him.
It is a fact ,just watch any rally of Badal,Amrinder,so called people's representatives, you will see people sitting at a distance from where bullet can not reach this traitors.Whereas in Mr Mann's rally it is the ordinary people who are his protectors and every one mingles freely upto the stage even.
Look at this rally held on 12 February,2010 at Fatehgarh Sahib on theme of Khalistan where Sardar Mann is standing amidst the people as a popular leader:
https://akalidalamritsar.sslpowered...2010/Febr2010/press note birth day 12 feb.htm
This a gathering of just Fatehgarh Sahib area wheareas Khalistan supporters all over Punjab are infinite which the GOI, baahmanvaadi media and the fascists fail to understand and refuse to accept.
If some fascist tries to do misadventure against Mann or Bittu ,Punjab will burn like never before.
Occupied Khalistan is already there and now the question is how and when it will be freed .The traitors of Khalistan will be sent to the gangetic belt.
Even till date a number of Sikhs still think the killings in Punjab were conducted by so called Sikh militants whereas everyone knows that each SSP in Punjab had his own vigilante group of police cats to malign the militants.
It would be foolish to think that Sikh militants would do certain acts which will go against their own movement.I myself remember seeing a press note by 5 militant outfits including AISSF of Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu saying that they had nothing to do with the killings of labourers in 2 trains near Ludhiana.
The following movie by a "non Sikh"is based on a novel by a former Kharkoo (Watch all 9 parts on youtube):
YouTube- new punjabi movie - deevay jagday rehan ge - 4/9
At that time we were not even aware that a time would come when computers,mobiles,digital cameras etc would become easily available otherwise we would kept those newspaper cuttings as proofs.
This is also the reason why we dont have many pictures and footage of Operation Bluestar and why the sole Indian tv channel Doordarshan managed to mislead people including Sikhs about the reality of the situation.
Another program which I vividly remember on doordarshan showed some people with orange patkas and face covered (police cats)claiming to have committed rapes,dacoity and killings.GOI misused the sole tv channel to the maximum to malign the Khalistan movement.
But these days everything has changed drastically,even if the so called unbiased baahmanvaadi media channels are still behaving as govt mouthpieces there are other means to instantly know the truth of any news item.
This exploitative political system and the negative role bahmanvaadi media plays in tarnishing the image of Sikhs and the continued support given to that by the bahman bania fascist clan is another reason why the demand for an independent Sikh state is increasing.
For those of you who are feeling happy that police men helped in killing Sikhs in fake encounters should go to Punjab and interview those who participated in these killings.These policemen are now repenting as Sikhs already consider them traitors but at the same time Bharat mataa and the akritghans for whom they did this have also disowned them.Not only this,instead of getting the lakhs of rupees for killing Sikh youth such policemen are now in jails or are living in poverty.
