In Time of Distress, American Government Took Appropriate Steps
People Demonstrating Against America in India, No Need for Their Sympathy
Last Sunday, at Sikh Gurdwara Sahib, Oak Creek Wisconsin, America a bad accident happened, where a man as humanity hater entered a Gurdwara and killed approximately six Sikhs and injured many other. Included is a Police Officer who came to save the Sikhs. Whereas the shameful incident was condemned across America, the Government also did not leave any stone unturned. All across America, wherever there were Gurdwaras police patrols were placed so that any other unfortunate incident may not occur. Alongside, the media impartially conveyed the incident to the people. American President, respectful Barack Obama , who was on a tour, interrupted mid way and returned to partake in the hurt of the Sikhs. He proclaimed that till the 10<sup>th</sup>, Whitehouse and all American Government Offices, all across the world where there were American Consulates and at all Warships the American flag will be flown Half-mast (half staff), he stated that Sikhs were Honourable members of American mosaic. The whole nation is with the Sikhs in this tragedy.
But some people in Punjab, India and at some other places have proclaimed falsely against America and have been demonstrating in game play claiming to be well wishers, and asking the Indian Government to protect the lives of Sikhs. Sikhs residing in America warn and inform such people that their pretentious sympathy, with camouflaged dirty and anti-Sikh thinking bears no need. Can you tell when thousands were murdered in November 84 where was the Indian Army and Police? After the murder of thousands of Sikhs, was the flag lowered even for a minute by the Government of Punjab or India? Did the murderers form Gurdaspur Police who shot people dead get punished? Innocent people are murdered everyday, turbans are desecrated, and people are dishonored. In America one crazy head did this, while Indian Army and Police attacked Darbar Sahib from June 1984 to 1986. Did the Ludhiana Goalie Kand culprits face punishment? Did your Government restore the dignity of the desecrated turban of Sikh community in France? Sikhs need protection of life and property in Punjab and India, and not in America.
Such people instigating demonstrations against America are in reality the same people who bestow honor to murderers of Sikhs in Punjab and India, and kiss their behind. Our honest advice to such self made Federations and Sikh well wishers is that we don’t need your sympathy. Where Sikhs need justice, meaning in India and Punjab, so do your demonstrations there. Our country is America. Where we receive full honor. Very shortly we will so inform the American people and the Government of the truth that every Sikh residing in America, is with America. We agree with the steps taken by the American Government. Those people demonstrating against America, the American Sikhs have no relationship with them .
