[QUOTE="ballym, post: 120525, member: 2772"] 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. [/QUOTE]
