INNOCENT SWAMI AMRITANANDA DEV TIRTHA IN GUANTANAMO BAY OF MAHARASHTRA

  ILLEGAL ARREST AND INCARCERATION WITHOUT ANY END IN SIGHT

V.SUNDARAM I.A.S.

Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha, Shankarachrya of
Sri Sharada Sarvagya Peeth

Like Sadhvi Pragya, Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha, Shankarachrya of the Pok-Based Sri Sharada Sarvagya Peeth, was also arrested by the ATS and he is now in Arthur Road Central Jail, Mumbai, in Maharashtra.  On 25 December 2008, he heroically managed to smuggle out a very graphic letter describing in telling detail the brutal atrocities that have been let loose against him inside prison. In this letter he has even giving the names of some of the police officers responsible for the physical assaults on him. In a larger sense, his inhuman humiliation in police custody is a mirror image of the state-sponsored degradation and torture of innocent Hindus in pseudo-secular Sonia Congress India.  Sandhya Jain, the bold Hindutva columnist from New Delhi, has translated the Hindi letter into English. Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha’s LETTER COMPLETELY EXPOSES THE ANTI-HINDU NATURE OF MAHARASHTRA ATS.

Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha Shankaracharya

I AM GIVING BELOW EXCERPTS FROM THIS LETTER SENT BY SWAMI AMRITANANDA DEV TIRTHA, SHANKARACHRYA OF THE POK-BASED SRI SHARADA SARVAGYA PEETH.

“India, the fourth-most populous nation in the world, the sole Hindu nation, yet also a divided India, weighed down by secularism, feels guilty about being a Hindu nation. Since the last 1200 years, ignorant of its united strength, this society which lacks the courage to speak the truth and has much experience in evading the lessons of history, suffering much humiliation and aggression, is now searching and struggling for its identity”.

“In this connection, I, the symbol of Hindu Samaj’s identity and faith, anointed Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Anantsri Bibhushit Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha (born Sudhakar Dhar), Shankaracharya, Sri Sharada Sarvagya Peeth, Jammu Kashmir (PoK), in the present circumstances, unhappy at Hindu Samaj’s worthless, indifferent, disbelieving and faithless leadership, am writing this letter. Because, via the Mumbai Anti-Terror Squad (ATS), Hindu society is being misled and their cruel and dehumanising atrocities towards me – from propagating a fraudulent identity of Dayanand Pandey, which was never my name, and calling me a self-declared Sant, Mahant, or Pujari –– have forced me to accept the commission of certain crimes:-

1] “My saffron robes were removed, I was denuded and kept wetted in an air-conditioned room for three days and given electric shocks.”

 2] “The Sri Yantra and religious books (including Japuji Sahib) used for my personal puja were trampled upon and thrown in a gutter.”

  

3] “Three men would stand upon my legs and hit me with belts on the soles of my feet, till I fell unconscious.”

  

4] “Meat was pushed into my mouth and I was told that it was cow-flesh (beef).”

  

5] “I was forced to read certain scripts, and then my voice dubbed, and audio-video tapes produced.”

  

6] “I was threatened that pornographic CDs would be made about me [i.e., by computer simulation] to defame me in Hindu society.”

 “These are just some examples. I lived 17 days in their custody, and you can yourself imagine what they would have done to me”.

“If ATS had any proof against me, why did they need to cook up fake evidence against me? ATS said, ‘HERE WE WILL KILL YOU, OUTSIDE MUSLIMS WILL KILL YOU; YOU HAVE TO DIE IN ANY CASE, SO ACCEPT YOUR CRIMES’. They made me mug up the answers of questions and then did a narco-analysis’. ‘In these circumstances, I hope that Hindu society will accept and read this letter as proof of the truth of its Dharmacharyas”.

“It would be appropriate to mention here that the root and ancient seat of the Shankaracharya parampara, Sri Sharada Sarvagya Peeth, lies in gram Shardi, taluka Attumukam, district Neelam, divided India’s northern-most state of Jammu Kashmir, in the 48% territory seized by Pakistan. Not only was this seat lost because of this Pakistani seizure, but over the last 60 years, that region’s lakhs of Hindus have lost their human rights, are denied basic civic amenities and are running from pillar to post without social or governmental assistance”.

“Three resolutions to take back Pak-Occupied Kashmir are gathering dust. This attitude of secular governments is known to the Islamic nations and Islamic leadership, as a result of which a policy of oppression is being followed, and in India, Islamic conversions are taking place with the support of Pakistan and other Islamic nations. The result is that 18-20 years ago, lakhs of Hindus were compelled to abandon Kashmir; they found refuge in other Hindu states of the nation. But today, in seven coastal states, Hindus are a minority of less than 10%. So if the same type of flight of Hindus takes place in other states, where will they take refuge?”

“Eminent thinkers of this fear-ridden society, the Kashi Vidwit Parishad, Dandi Sannyasi Seva Samiti, the faith-loving and reputed persons of Kashi, joined hands and organised a Sarvajanik Samaroh, and re-established Sri Sharada Sarvagya Peeth’s lost Shankaracharya parampara. The challenge was to stop the oppression and flight of Hindus of PoK; share the sufferings of resident Hindus of PoK and help them get justice and their rights; encourage Kashmiri Pandits to return to the Valley; and remind the government of the three Parliamentary resolutions to reclaim PoK”.

“Thus, on 16 May 2003, I was anointed Shankaracharya and charged with these responsibilities. Since then to the present day, combating all kinds of dangers and threats, I have been fulfilling my responsibility. A special report on this may be read in the 17 February 2008 edition of the RSS mouthpiece, Organiser”.

“The Jammu region of a Bharat divided on the basis of religion, from the time of independence itself, has become the kasauti (touchstone) of secularism. There, the anointment of a Shankaracharya can expose official secularism. Driven by this fear, the Central and State governments have sought to use the Abhinav Bharat programmes and in my official capacity as Kashmir Shankaracharya, used the ATS to cook up evidences and incriminate me”.

“Therefore, via Hindu society, I appeal to the Respected President and Respected Judiciary to permit me to commit suicide, because after this kind of humiliation, I am dying a slow death every second. And, because of the events that befell me, which I take as a sign of the heavy dangers facing the society, I hope that the suicidal Hindu society and its leadership will be alert and awake”.

It will be clear from the above letter of Swami Amritananda Dev Tirtha that the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) only on paper in Maharashtra is functioning only as an Anti Truth Squad (ATS) in practice. Thus, the ATS and other Government enforcement agencies in Maharashtra are functioning as lethal political handles of the anti-National and anti-Hindu Sonia Congress Party, which is totally committed to the philosophy and pogramme of total destruction of Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma. 

The criminal working philosophy of ATS in Maharashtra seems to be based on the following ‘principles’.

a. Every Hindu is a criminal if not a terrorist, unless proved to the contrary. Brutal and brutalising methods of investigation, specially perfected by the ATS in Maharashtra, are being used against targeted Hindu political and religious leaders with the full official approval of the Firangi Memsahib and her terrorist political advisor Ahmed Patel.

b. All Muslim and Christian cultural organisations (including known terrorist groups) are working for only communal harmony, unless proved to the contrary. Every Hindu cultural organisation is only working for the total disruption of communal harmony, unless proved to the contrary.

c. Brutal power of the State can be effectively deployed to ‘manufacture’, ‘fabricate’, all kinds of carefully imagined and contrived loose bits of non-evidence to intimidate the peace loving Hindu population in absolute majority in India.  All Sonia Congress governments in India would effectively network together to achieve their larger political aim of total obliteration of Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma from the sacred soil of India.

I am shocked to find from the March 2011 Issue of the Hindu Voice magazine published from Mumbai that Swami Amrutananda Dev Tirth, Shankaracharya, Sharda Sarvagya Peet, Kashmir is still languishing in Taloja Central Prison, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. My esteemed friend Shri P. Deovamuthu, the Editor of the Hindu Voice has written an article on page 19 of the March 2011 Issue of the Hindu Voice giving full details of the letter he had received from Shankaracharya Swami Amrutananda Dev Tirth.

A letter from an ‘accused’

languishing in jail

P. Deivamuthu

(Hindu Voice, March 2011, page 19)

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter from Swami Amrutananda Dev Tirth, Shankaracharya, Sharda Sarvagya Peet, Kashmir (better known as Swami Dayanand Pandey), an accused in the Malegaon Blast case, languishing in jail for the last 28 months.

A scanned copy of the letter is given along side. The letter, which is in Hindi, translated roughly, reads:

“I, Swami Amrutananda Dev Tirth, Shankaracharya, Sharda Sarvagya Peet, Kashmir am languishing in jail for the last 28 months, as an accused in the Malegaon Blast case, along with 10 other accused. I am at present in the Taloja Central Prison, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai.

During my stay in the prison, I happened to read your ‘Hindu Voice’ given to me by a wellwisher. All the articles in the Magazine are in the interests of the Nation and the original citizens Hindus and the Hindu society. My Sadhuvaadh to you. I pray God that your efforts give a proper direction to the society.

I would like to receive a copy of your current issue and also Hindu Voice issue of March 2009. I can pay in the form of postal order or money order. Also please send me your following publications. .....

Please send the above three books along with Hindu Voice March 2009 issue by VPP. Also let me know how to get your magazine regularly. I will honour the VPP. I am giving my address below.

UT-9, HSC - 2/15, Taloja Central Prison, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai 410210”

The letter was dated 22nd Feb. 2011 and I received it on 24th Feb. sent by Speed Post.

A few friends from Chennai cautioned me about the authenticity of the letter. One friend even advised me to check up whether the envelop bears the stamp and signature of the Jail Authorities. Yes, the Envelop did bear the stamp and signature. Swamiji had also enclosed a self-addressed envelop, with Rs.15/- stamp affixed, to be replied by me by speed post.

Next day, i.e. 25th Feb., I sent my man with many of my books along with a covering letter (reproduced along side). My man reached Taloja Central Jail by 10.30 a.m. and handed over my letter and the books to the Jail authorities. But the Jail authorities accepted only those publications which Swamiji had asked for and returned all other publications to my man. They even refused to accept my covering letter and returned it.

Our man tried to meet the Swamiji personally, but was not successful.

I have now sent the covering letter (appearing along side) to Swamiji, in the self-addressed envelop Swamiji sent me - by Speed Post. I hope it reaches him.

Letter from an Undertrial

P. Deivamuthu

(In Hindu Voice, April 2011)

Readers are aware that in my last issue (March 2011), I had reproduced a letter dated 22nd Feb. 2011, received from Swami Amrutanand Dev Tirth (better known as Dayanand Pandey), an accused in the Malegaon Bomb Blast case languishing in Taloja Central Prison, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, and my reply to him dated 25th Feb. I have received another letter from him, dated 25th Feb, along with his photograph. A scanned copy of the letter and the photograph, along with its translation in English, are published here, for the information of the reader. Obviously, my reply dated 25th and his letter dated 25th (sent by Speed Post) have crossed in post. I have again replied to him vide my letter dated 8th March 2011, (sent by Regd. post) which too is reproduced below.

(Translated from Hindi) (Letter dated 25^th February 2011 sent to Shri P. Deivamuthu by Shankaracharya Swami Amrutanand Dev Tirth)

“The Editor, Hindu Voice

Long Live, Paramshubhashish,

I am happy and thankful to you for taking immediate action as requested by me in my letter dated 22nd Feb. 2011. I assure you that I will cooperate with you in making your holy mission a success, for which I pray God.

Today (25th Feb. 2011) I received your three books and Hindu Voice March 2009 issue. But I regret I could not meet your Representative. I again request you to send me copies of Hindu Voice from November 2008 to April 2009 and May-June 2010 and from November 2010 to March 2011 (total 13 issues). And tell your Representative to meet me and collect the amount for the books already sent and the ones now requested, along with the annual subscription for Hindu Voice, so that I can continuously receive your Monthly. Otherwise, if you so desire, I can send a MO. Please do inform me.

In order to give some introduction about me, I am sending herewith photo copies of some of the materials available with me. It would be adviseable if you search the net in the name of "Shankaracharya Swami Amritanand Dev Tirth". I am not able to send some materials as I am not able to make photo copies of them, here. But the RSS Mouthpiece ORGANISER, 17th Feb. 2008 issue, page 23, has published my interview, which you can read. The ATS, in order to avoid public reaction, has lied to the public and mentioned my name as "Dayanand Pandey", whereas in the charsheet my name is clearly mentioned as Swami Amrutanand Dev Tirth, Shankaracharya, Sharda Sarvagya Peet". But I do not know why the media is holding on to this imaginary name given by the ATS. In this respect, I have filed an affidavit in the court.

In this way, in a planned way, the ATS in collution with the secular media, has tarnished my image. I am thinking of writing a detailed letter to you about the Malegaon Bomb Blast-2008, so that the facts are placed before the society.

According to Sanatan Dharm, only the Atma is sanatan. But today, what can you expect from people who have pawned their soul and voice for the enjoyment of their mortal body and stomach? Awakening such a Society which is in a suicidal path and to uplift it, is indeed the holiest service to the God. On this subject, many magazines have serialised many of my articles. I will try to send them to you also. In this respect, I would requst you to kindly contact my colleague Shri Ayodhya Prasad Tripathi, 77 Khera Road, New Delhi-82 (Mobile: 09868324025/09868342613) and get all his publications. I am sure, he will be of help to you in your work. What to say about my helping you at this moment; I am helpless. But when the time comes, you yourself will experience it.

The Govt. has conspired to involve me in this false case, so that my Bhakts and followers run away from me. I was invited to Bhopal for the inauguration of Abhinav Bharat, and the Madhya Pradesh government declared me as the State Guest as the Shankaracharya. But the ATS treated this meeting as a ‘Conspiracy Meeting’ and arrested some of the participants as accused and some as witnesses. I will try to send you a detailed report shortly.

Expecting you to do what I have asked for, and hoping to write to you again, and with Hari Smaran & Blessings.”

I am presenting below the facsimile of the letter in Hindi dated 25^th March 2011 sent by Shankaracharya Swami Amrutanand Dev Tirth to Shri P. Daivamuthu.

Will the Maharashtra ATS, (Anti Truth Squad), Congress Bureau of Investigation/Intimidation (CBI) and the National (Hindu) Intimidation Agency (NIA) dare to foist a false case on the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmad Bukhari or the Cardinal of Bombay Oswald Gracias? These anti-Hindu and anti-National agencies are taking their operational instructions from the Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi and her private family business called the Congress Party.

The BUSINESS MOTO of the Congress Party, the private family business of the Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi seems to be thIs:

“Terrorist Muslim appeasement at any cost to the Nation

Terrorist Christian appeasement at any cost to the Nation

Minority Vote bank Politics at any cost to the Nation

But positively at no cost to the Sonia Gandhi clan”

That is why the Congress party is more keen on protecting the interests of Muslims in Libya and the interests of Muslims in India like Afzal Guru.

Men in the bonded labour of Sonia Gandhi like Digvijay Singh and P. Chidambaram acting together are co-ordinating all these anti-Hindu activities under the guise of tackling the imagined phantom called Saffron Terrorism. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Digvijay Singh, P. Chidambaram are all promoters of Islamic terrorism in the Southern and Western parts of India and promoters of Christian terrorism in Orissa and the North-Eastern parts of India. Perhaps all of them are fated to get their due justice without any trial in the same manner as Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi got from Madame Destiny. I derive my inspiration for saying this from the following lines of immortal poetry:

“Glories of our Blood and State

Are shadows and not substantial things

Early or late we stoop to fate

Sceptre and crown must tumble down

And in the dust be equal made

Only the actions of the just

Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.”

 ILLEGAL ARREST AND INCARCERATION WITHOUT ANY END IN SIGHT

– A CASE FIT FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

Part I

V. SUNDARAM I.A.S

Sadhvi Pragya

Victim of Sonia Congress Police Torture

The Sonia-Congress led UPA government in Maharashtra is mischievously and viciously using the ATS as a political instrument to foist cases on Hindu political and Hindu religious leaders.  The CBI, which I have several times described as Congress Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Congress Bureau of Instigation (CBI), Congress Bureau of Insinuation (CBI) and Congress Bureau of Intimidation (CBI) is being used on a daily basis by the Sonia-Congress to foist criminal cases on their political opponents.

In the same manner, the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) in Maharashtra is also functioning as a political instrument of the Sonia-Congress Government in Maharashtra State. The Supreme Court of India had also observed that the CBI was being used as a political instrument by the Government in power (Sonia Congress Party) to put down their political opponents. The Supreme Court made this observation in the case relating to disproportionate assets launched by CBI against Mulayam Singh Yadav.

In one of my earlier articles which I wrote in 2008, I had observed as follows: “It is a matter of time before the ATS declares the Sangh Pariwar as the biggest progenitor of terror in India.  They are capable of politically manufacturing new ‘revelations’ to suggest (to them at any rate and at any cost!) that, if SIMI is banned, so must be Bajrang Dal, VHP, ABVP, RSS and eventually BJP.  Finally, the lethal fact that the government will have neither the gumption nor credible and clinching evidence to do so is quite another matter.  But there is no doubt whatsoever that the ATS in Maharashtra, taking political instructions from Sonia Congress in power there, is working round the clock to prove the total parity  between Islamic terror and ‘Hindu’ terror.  But the ‘politically’ determined efforts of ATS to arrive at this ‘equation’ will have disastrous consequences leading to the complete derangement of communal harmony in India. The irresponsible officers and men in the ATS in Maharashtra who equate imaginary Hindu terror with more than one thousand years of Jihadi terror in India, would do well to understand that this odious comparison can only provoke the already emotionally shattered and battered Hindus of India even more, thus communalising the polity beyond redemption and unleash retribution on a scale which would dwarf what happened in Gujarat after the Godhra riots in 2002. If only Hinduism had been an intolerant faith like the monotheistic Islam then India would not been a vibrant democracy and we would have witnessed many virulently violent responses to Jihadic terror.”

In 2007, the Malegaon blasts took place in which 37 people were killed outside the mosque.  At that time the pseudo-secular media --- both print and electronic --- loudly wondered why Jihadi terrorists would specifically target their own co-religionists and suggestively hinted at the possibility of Hindu groups coming under the investigators’ scanner.  With electronic speed, the case was cracked and it was authoritatively billed as a SIMI handiwork.  But the pseudo-secular fundamentalists in the media did not give up.  They waited for two crude bombs to explode in Gujarat’s Modasa and once again in Malegaon on September 29, 2008.  At that time, the weak Sonia Congress government was under fire for handling Raj Thackerray’s plundering goons in Mumbai with kid gloves, the ATS in Maharashtra decided this was the most opportune time to ‘selectively leak’ some sensitive information regarding the September 29, 2008 incidents.  The alleged suspects’ links to the extended Saffron Pariwar were far-fetched and tenuous.  Yet the leaked news came in very handy for the English and electronic media to resume their onslaught on ‘Hindu terror’.

The ATS in Maharastra responded immediately.  That is how the case was launched against Sadhvi Pragya Chandrapal Singh Thakur and others.  She had graphically described how the ATS officers and men tortured her when she was under their illegal and unauthorised custody in November 2008 in the Affidavit, which she filed in a Nasik Court (C.R.No.1-130/08, Re-numbered as C.R.No.1-18/08 at ATS).  I am giving below certain extracts from her Affidavit which are really heart rending and which clearly bring out the fact that the inhuman officers and men in the ATS behaved in the savage way in which the great German writer Mehring described the barbarous men of the Nazi Special Police in Hitler’s Germany: ‘I was tortured by highly cultivated barbarians, by technically trained primitives, by uniformed cannibals’.  The criminal barbarians in the ATS in Maharashtra are not very different from the NAZI Special Police in Hitler’s Germany. The Sonia Congress Government directed criminals in the ATS in Maharashtra will also have their days of Nuremberg trials.

Here are the relevant excerpts from Sadhvi Pragya’s Affidavit.

‘I say that on 7.10.2008, when I was at Jabalpur Ashram, I received a call from a police officer from the ATS, Maharashtra, called Sawant, who wanted to know about my LML Freedom vehicle. However, I told him I had sold it long back and not concerned with it. However, he insisted me to come down to Surat as he wanted to question me at length about it. I was reluctant to go to Surat by leaving the Ashram and insisted for him to come down to Jabalpur, but he refused and told me to come down to Surat as early as possible’.

‘I further say that accordingly I travelled to Surat by train via Ujjain and arrived at Surat on 10.10.2008 early in the morning and my disciple Bhimbhai Pasricha had to receive me at Railway Station and I went to his place at Atop Nagar.....I further say that at 5.15 PM myself, Pasricha and the ATS officer left Surat and reached Bombay on the very night of 10.10.2008. In Bombay I was taken straight away to the ATS office at Kalachowkie’.

 ‘I further say that on 12.10.2008 the ATS changed the mode of interrogation and became extremely aggressive with me. At first they asked my said disciple Bhimbhai Pasricha to beat me with sticks, belts etc, on my palms, forehands, soles, etc. When Pasricha refused to do so, he was severely beaten by the ATS. Ultimately with the greatest reluctance, he complied with the ATS orders but obviously being my disciple, he exerted the very minimum of force on me. He was then pushed aside by a member of the ATS squad known as Khanwilkar, who then himself commenced beating me severely with a belt on my hands, forearms, palms, feet, soles, causing me bruises, swelling and contusions in these areas’.

‘I say that from the 13th onwards, I was beaten during the day, night and midnight. On two occasions I was even woken up in the early hours of the morning at 4 am and questioned about my knowledge of the blasts. On these occasions, I was beaten by a senior officer having a moustache, whom I can identify. In addition I was subject to vulgar abuse and obscene language by members of the ATS team interrogating me. My Guru was abused and my chastity was questioned. I was physically and verbally traumatised to the extent that I wanted to commit suicide’.

‘I say that as a result of the custodial violence/torture, mental stress, anxiety that were developed in the process, I was subjected to, I developed acute abdominal and kidney pains. I lost my appetite, became nauseous and giddy and prone to having bouts of unconsciousness’.

 

                                Sadhvi Pragya in 2008                      Sadhvi Pragya today

                                Before arrest by ATS                        Now after three years of

                               In October 2008                                Illegal, arbitrary detention

                                                                                                and torture by ATS

SADHVI PRAGYA CHANDRAPAL SINGH THAKUR HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY IN PRISON SINCE OCTOBER 2008 AND NO CHARGESHEET HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST HER SO FAR. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS LIKE KASAB WOULD BE TREATED WITH GREAT INDULGENCE AND THEIR EVERY WHIM AND FANCY PAMPERED BY THE ATS IN THE SONIA CONGRESS MAL-ADMINISTERED MAHARASHTRA.

It will be very clear from the above Affidavit of Sadhvi Pragya Chandrapal Singh Thakur  that the officers and men in the ATS are treating the Hindu under-trials in Maharashtra in the same way in which the Islamic prisoners have been treated by the US army prison authorities in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The American Civil Liberties Union has stated: “The United States government continues to turn a blind eye to mounting evidence of widespread abuse of detainees held in its custody at Guantanamo Bay. If we are to truly repair America’s standing in the world, the Bush Administration must hold accountable high-ranking officials who allow the continuing abuse and torture of detainees. These aggressive interrogation techniques, when coupled with the stress of indefinite, arbitrary detention, have caused the prisoners tremendous psychological and physical injury. The extreme interrogation technique were designed and implemented first at Guantanamo and then exported to Iraq. The very fact that innocent men may be arbitrarily imprisoned, mistreated and tortured at Guantanamo is an especially egregious miscarriage of justice”. 

Sadhvi Pragya’s Guantanamo-Style brutal torture brings out the ATS in Maharashtra in very bad light.  The public have the right to draw the reasonable inference that many of the officers and men in the ATS are committed to the working philosophy of converting innocent Hindus into dangerous criminals and terrorists.  That is why perhaps Justice Mulla of the Allahabad High Court, in a famous judgement in 1962, observed with candour: ‘There is no more organised lawless criminal force in the country than the Indian police force’. If only Justice Mulla had been alive today, what he would have said about the ATS and its methods of investigation is just beyond my imagination.

POST SCRIPT:

ATS /CBI / NIA foisting of more and more imaginary cases on Sadhvi Pragya

As I have already stated, Sadhvi Pragya has been in continuous illegal detention undergoing untold police torture and brutality ever since October 2008. Our wretched National Human Rights Commission --- may I say, National Human Non-Rights Commission --- under the Chairmanship of known and blatant InJustice K.G Balakrishnan who is a crypto Christian --- would not take any interest in the denial of ordinary human rights to Sadhvi Pragya by the ATS in Maharashtra.

I can see from the latest newspaper reports of March 29, 2011 that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have recently grilled Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in connection with five bomb blasts in different parts of the country and the murder of RSS worker Sunil Joshi at Devas, Madhya Pradesh. Joshi was also an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. It is alleged by the ATS that Sunil Joshi was killed because he had become a liability to the Hindu-right wing group involved in the Malegaon blast.

The NIA questioned Sadhvi Pragya for her suspected involvement in the 2008 Modasa bomb blast, the Samjhauta Express and Ajmer Sharif bomb blasts in 2007 and Joshi’s murder. The NIA questioned Sadhvi Pragya about the motorcycle that was used to trigger the blast at Modasa, Gujarat, on September 29, 2008. The same day the group triggered a blast in Malegaon killing six people and injuring 101. In both cases, motorcycles were used to plant the explosives. The motorcycle used at Malegaon has been traced to Thakur.

The CBI questioned Sadhvi Pragya in connection with the serial bomb blasts at Malegaon in 2006 and the 2007 Mecca Masjid blast case. Sources said CBI particularly questioned her about Swami Aseemanand’s revelations and claims about the Abhinav Bharat’s involvement in the 2006 blasts at Malegaon.

ENEMIES OF THE SIKH COMMUNITY

V.SUNDARAM I.A.S.

Amritinder Singh & Jeev Milkha Singh.

The religious feelings, emotions, sentiments and sensibilities of the Sikh Community not only in India but throughout the world have been greviously hurt by the deliberately insulting treatment meted out at Milan Airport by a Security Officer to Amritinder Singh, who is the coach of India's best golfer and international name Jeev Milkha Singh. Amritinder Singh was asked to remove the turban at Milan Airport before boarding the flight to Sicily, Italy. Jeev who was accompanying the coach pleaded with the airport officials not to insist upon the removal of the turban but it was of no avail. The security officials took the harsh stand that either he had to remove the turban or he should alter his travel plans. What is most reprehensible about the barbarous Italian authorities at Milan Airport is that, they not only asked Amritinder Singh to remove his turban but also forced him to put his turban in the tray where shoes were being screened.

Shocked and distressed by this insult, Amritinder Singh has stated: “It is a personal insult as I have travelled all over the world and even though security officials put their detectors around my turban, I have never had to remove my turban. For me, it is like being asked to strip in public. I also told them that they could look at my passport and see that I am a sportsperson and have never been humiliated like this, but they refused to comply with my reasonable respect. I even told them that this is not an aspect of security problem but pure harassment. I belong to a country whose Prime Minister wears a turban, and I feel that my nation should take up such issues with other countries. I do not want to stand in the way of safety regulations, but a person's personal privacy has also to be respected.”

Deeply hurt by the insult heaped upon his Coach Amritinder Singh, Jeev Milkha Singh has spoken out in anguish on the terrible turn of events, "My father wears a turban and I would be horrified if he was told to remove it unnecessarily and unrespectfully in front of hundreds of people."

For a Sikh, the turban is a sacred symbol of “Guru's blessings”. When Amritinder Singh was insulted at Milan Airport for the first time, the Italian Ambassador expressed his regrets over that ugly episode. The tragedy is that Amritinder Singh was given the same treatment at Mioan Airport by the same Security Officer. Every Indian citizen has the right to ask this question “What is the use of the Italian envoy's regret? What is the use of his hypocritical lip service?”

The Italian Ambassador in his double talk, double dealing, hypocrisy cannot be very different from the Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi from Italy who still holds an Italian Passport. Though she hails from Italy she has not chosen to lodge any protest with the Government of Italy for the insulting treatment meted out to Amritinder Singh at Milan Airport twice by the same Security Officer.

 
The most terrible fact about the UPA Government under the stranglehold of the Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi today is that only the Muslims and Christians are being viewed as Legitimate Citizens of India. The Sikhs and the Hindus (this includes the Jains, the Buddhists and others) are treated as Third Class Citizens. We have a non-entity PSEUDOSIKH PRIME MIINSTER who is not interested in protecting the larger self respect and spiritual identity of the Sikh Community as a whole. The UPA Government is more interested in protecting the lives and property of Terrorist Muslims in Libya and Egypt. This government is emotionally and spiritually closer to Colonel Gadaffi of Libya than to Gautama Buddha, Mahaveera, Adi Shankara or Guru Nanak or Guru Gobind Singh. This wretched and wicked anti-National UPA Government coudn’t care less for the Sikh Community in India and abroad.

Deadly Enemies of Sikhism and Passionate Champions of Islam and Christianity

Ahmed Shah Abdali attacked the Golden Temple in Amristar in 1757 and filled its sarovar (sacred pool) with the blood of slaughtered cows and people. He captured Amritsar (1757), and sacked the Harmandir Sahib popularly known as the Golden Temple. 

Ahmed Shah Abdali (1722-1773)

This savage record of Ahmed Shah Abdali was continued by Indira Gandhi who became the greatest enemy of the Sikh Community in 1984. It was Indira Gandhi who directed the Indian Army to enter the Golden Temple at Amritsar in June 1984. Indian Army Action inside the Golden Temple caused a grievous hurt to the religious feelings, emotions, sentiments and sensibilities of the Sikh Community not only in India but throughout the world.

Upon arrival at Palam airport in Delhi and hearing of his mother's assassination, Rajiv Gandhi told those present, "My mother has been shot dead. What are you doing here? Go, and take revenge. No turban (distinctive Sikh headdress) should be seen."

Indira Gandhi’s son Rajiv Gandhi, as the true son of a Muslim named Feroz Khan, went a step further in Islamic brutality and was personally responsible for the SIKH GENOCIDE in New Delhi immediately after the assassination of Indira Gandhi on 31-10-1984. More than 3000 innocent Sikh men, women and children were mercilessly killed in less than 48 hours between 31-10-1984 and 2-11-1984. The houses, trading establishments, shops and offices of the Sikh Community in the capital were savagely attacked, ransacked and looted. All these crimes and atrocities were committed by some of the leaders, goons and armed dacoits of the CONGRESS PARTY. Rajiv Gandhi was the chief criminal behind this pogrom of Sikh Genocide. His two hangmen in this Sikh extermination Pogrom in New Delhi were Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler, the two men against whom the Nanavati Commission had found ‘credible evidence’.

Sajjan Kumar & Jagdish Tytler

Here's the smell of the Sikh blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten their hands. Oh, oh, oh! (An adaptation from Shakespeare and not Soniaspeare!)

Today Rajiv Gandhi’s wife the political usurper Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi is the greatest enemy of the Sikh Community. She thinks she can cheat the Sikh Community by having a non-descript, impotent, indecisive, indifferent pseudoSikh like Dr. Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister creeps and crawls at the pleasure of Sonia Gandhi. Our President Pratibha Patil creeps and crawls at the pleasure of Sonia Gandhi. Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi seems to be under the vain delusion that she can assuage the shattered feelings of the Sikh Community by placing one or two sorry excuses of Sikhs like Montek Singh Ahluwalia or MS Gill in very high posts in the Government of India. Through such cosmetic gimmicks, Sonia Gandhi seems to think that she can make the Sikh Community forget and forgive the unpardonable crime of Army attack on the Golden Temple ordered by her Mother-in-Law Indira Gandhi in June 1984 and the subsequent organized Sikh Genocide let loose by her husband Rajiv Gandhi through the Congress Party in New Delhi in October-November 1984.

A little more than three weeks ago, Sonia Congress has been served summons by a US District Court in a case filed by a US based human rights group ‘SIKHS FOR JUSTICE’ (SFJ) for conspiring, aiding, abetting and carrying out organized attacks on Sikh population of India in November, 1984.

The service of summons, issued on March 1, 2011 by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on Congress (I) starts the 21 day deadline for Sonia Congress to respond to the class action law suit filed (SFJ v. Congress (I) SDNY (10 CV 2940)) under Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA). Several Sikh individuals from different states and cities of India who witnessed and survived attacks in November 1984 are also the petitioners in the case.

According to Attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Legal Advisor to ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ), “if the Congress party did not respond to the summons of the US Federal Court by April 1, 2011, SFJ will ask the court to enter a default (judgment) against Congress (I)”.

The default judgment against Sonia Congress will give the victims of November 1984 POGROM AGAINST SIKHS an opportunity to seek compensatory and punitive damages from Congress (I) for the party’s role in genocidal attack on Sikhs during November 1984. With her personal favourite, former Chief Injustice K.G Balakrishnan out of the Supreme Court of India, Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi knows that she can no longer demand and get ‘paid for’ instant Justice from the Supreme Court of India! She also knows that she cannot sell and buy Sonia justice in the American Courts of Law!!

The default judgment against Sonia Congress will pave the way for filing criminal complaints against Sonia Congress or formerly Congress (I) leadership under various international laws for violation of human rights and committing Genocide of Sikhs in November 1984.

In US, criminal prosecution of Congress (I) leadership will be sought under the “Human Rights Enforcement Act of 2009” which specifically gives jurisdiction to the US Courts to prosecute foreign nationals who are suspected of committing crimes against humanity.

As per the Government of India’s record a total of 3296 Sikhs were killed during November 1984 throughout India. However, out of 35,535 claims for deaths and injuries received throughout India, more than 20,000 claims were from Bihar, Chhatisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir; Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Uttara Khand, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.

Attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun who practices Human Rights Law in United States has said: “Since the documentation gathered by ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ) proves that it’s the Congress (I) that organized and carried out genocidal attacks on Sikh population in 18 states and more than 100 cities of India, SFJ will move U.S. Department of State to BAN THE ENTRY INTO US OF SONIA GANDHI, President of Congress (I) and other leaders of the Congress party into the United States.” It is a well known fact that Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and all the members of her family are champions of anti-Hindu Islamic terrorism!

The man who questions opinion is wise; the man who quarrels with facts is a fool. - Frank A Garbutt

Facts that are not frankly faced have a habit of stabbing us in the back. Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong. We should not keep our mouths shut and our pens dry when we know the solidly sordid and brutal facts. Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted. The greatest tragedy in our national public life after independence is that it is not the facts which guide the conduct of our public men at the highest level, but their prejudiced opinion about facts which may be entirely wrong or are generally wrong most of the time. It is the bounden public duty of all enlightened citizens and fearless journalists to endeavour to make them right by discussion. Facts when combined with ideas constitute the greatest force in the world. They are greater than armaments, greater than finance, greater than science, business and law because they constitute the common denominator of all of them. That is why Walter Lippman, one of the greatest names in the history of fearless journalism, observed with clinching conviction: 'True opinions can prevail only if the facts to which they refer are known ; if they are not known, false ideas are just as effective as true ones, if not a little more effective'. Facts ought to be the basis of all Governmental policies but they by themselves do not or cannot create policies. They are only the stuff of which policies are made. Here is where synthesis comes in to build up the facts into useful knowledge which is wisdom, and it is wisdom that alone can give meaning and direction to life. I know all this has been totally irrelevant to the dastardly India ? a purposeless and nebulous NOTION and not a sacred NATION ?created by the Nehru family and the Congress party for themselves and themselves alone after 15 August, 1947.

When the Sikhs under the leadership of Master Tara Singh demanded greater autonomy for the Sikhs after independence, Jawaharlal Nehru tried to weaken the Sikh community by merging PEPSU with other areas (today's Haryana and parts of Himachal Pradesh) to create the larger State of Punjab. The government also declared that Punjab was a bilingual State with both Punjabi and Hindi being designated as official languages. In the merged state, Sikhs made up only 35 per cent of the population and thus lost the majority status they had held in PEPSU.

This unilateral action wounded the feelings and sentiments of many Sikhs at that time. I am mentioning this only to show that Jawaharlal Nehru and his Congress Party always treated the Sikhs and the Hindus after our independence with indivisible contempt bordering on hatred. On the contrary they treated the so called minorities, more particularly the Muslims, with unrequited romantic love and infatuation. Today State-sponsored secularism and State-abetted terrorism have become two sides of the same political coin. Likewise, State-abetted proselytism and Church-sponsored harvesting of heathen souls have become two sides of another political coin. Consequently, the Sikhs and the Hindus have been reduced to the status of KAFIRS during the days of Aurangazeb.

Against this background, I am not surprised to see from the mainline print media in English that one Sikh citizen called Babu Singh Dukhia, a resident of Tilka Vihar in New Delhi, which was one of the worst affected areas during the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, is a very angry man today. Last week Dukhia said: 'The CBI had proof even then as it has now, but has done nothing so far. Twenty-two years after the anti-Sikh riots, the CBI is throwing its hands up saying it has little proof to pursue the case against Congress leaders Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar, the two men against whom the Nanavati Commission had found credible evidence'. As usual, the BJP Party is accusing the CBI of acting to promote the political interests of the Congress party. BJP spokesperson Prakash Javdekar has said: 'This is the delaying tactics of the CBI. What does the Congress mean by compensation? There will be no compensation till there is justice'. At the same time, it will be readily conceded that the dismal professional record of the CBI during the last 30 years and its exemplary political record (!!) as a hired mouthpiece and hatchet of the political party in power in New Delhi are all established facts in the public mind. In actual practice, CBI whatever be its official nomenclature on paper only for ensuring a smooth and un-interrupted disbursement of salaries to its officers and staff on the 1st of every month with unfailing regularity, has functioned only in a disgraceful manner after independence as a Criminal Bureau of Insinuation (CBI!), Criminal Bureau of Instigation (CBI!!), Criminal Bureau of Infliction (CBI!!!) and Criminal Bureau of Intimidation (CBI !!!!). The Director of the CBI ever looks up to the Government in power to identify its targeted political enemy so that he can swing into immediate action to instantaneously convert that chosen victim into an offender and transgressor in servile obedience to the unwritten Law of Lawlessness in our accursed land. Its daily working principle can be put in simple mathematical terms : Known and old cases against well known political criminals who have held very high public offices can be closed with electronic impunity; new and abominably impossible cases can be foisted with cataclysmic force upon honourable citizens with a proven track record of unimpeachable integrity and selfless public service. I am not therefore surprised that many surviving relatives of innocent Sikh citizens who got massacred in New Delhi told me that they can never hope to get justice from the CBI or the Congress directed UPA Government in New Delhi.

Thus the embers of the great conflagration planned, organized and launched by the Congress party in New Delhi in which more than 3000 innocent Sikhs were killed in a matter of two days after the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards on 31 October, 1984 are refusing to die down even 22 years after the barbarous massacre.

In order to understand the pogrom let loose by the Congress party against the innocent Sikhs in New Delhi in 1984 in proper perspective, we have to go back to the emergency that was wickedly imposed upon the nation by Indira Gandhi just to protect her office and the commercial interests of her family flowing from The Private Limited Company called the Congress party. During the dark days of emergency from 1975 to 1977, Indira Gandhi functioned like a supreme dictator, very much like Hitler in Nazi Germany, Stalin in Soviet Russia and Mao tse Tung in China. She used the might of the Government of India to arrest and incarcerate all the opposition leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan, Morarji Desai, Attal Bihai Vajpayee, L K Advani, George Fernandes and many others without a trial. All civil liberties of the Indian people as a whole were crushed by Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi. The masses of India rose as one man and threw her and her party out of office after the General Elections in 1977.

When Indira Gandhi came back to power with a thumping majority after the 1980 General Elections, she turned her guns against the Sikh community. To begin with she had a romantic political infatuation for Brindrawale and her contact man was Zail Singh who was using Brindrawale as a weapon against the Akalis in the Punjab. Finally Brindrawale turned against Indira Gandhi, Zail Singh and the Congress party. Zail Singh was rewarded out of turn, like an obedient and ever-servile Mansabdar in the days of Aurangazeb, by Indira Gandhi when he was elevated as Union Home Minister and later installed as President of India.

In a series of events that that shocked the nation, the Congress government led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sent troops into the Sikhs' sacred shrine in 1984 ? the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar ? to flush out the militants holed up there. Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments. In their joint Investigation Report titled OPERATION BLUESTAR : The untold story, Amiya Rao, Aurbindo Ghose, Sunil Bhattacharya, Tejinder Ahuja and N D Pancholi, came to this conclusion : 'OPERATION BLUESTAR and GHALLUGHARA. Two different terms for the same episode ? the Army action on the Golden Temple in June 1984. Two different meanings given to the same unprecedented event. 'Operation Bluestar' is the Government's term, connoting a necessary military operation to flush out terrorists and recover arms from the Golden Temple, the implication being that it was an unavoidable cleansing act of purification. Where as 'Ghallughara' is how the Sikhs of Punjab remember the episode, connoting aggression, massacre and religious persecution. The unmistakable allusion is to the killing in Punjab of tens of thousands of Sikhs by the Afgan raider, Ahmed Shah Abdali in 1762, after which the word 'Ghallughara' was coined to become an integral part of the Punjabi folklore in song, story and legend'.

'The contrast between 'Operation Blue Star' and 'Ghallughara' as two different perceptions of the same reality is symptomatic of the wide gap between the official version and the people's recollections of what really happened at the Golden Temple when the army attacked it in June 1984. Listening to the gripping eye-witness accounts of those who were inside Golden Temple at that time, we felt the need to tell the truth, the as-yet untold story and in the process to correct the Government's version as put out by the Army, the Press, the Radio, the TV and the White Paper'.

We the citizens of India should realize that our war for freedom will never really be won till we are willing to pay the full price for that freedom ? constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government.

      

A PANOPLY OF SONIA CONGRESS

ORCHESTRATED FRAUD-II

'Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.' - Daniel Webster

Indira Gandhi and her Congress Party were rooted in their self-embracing certainty and unabashed political arrogance when they took the fatal decision to send the Army to the Golden Temple at Amritsar in June 1984. When the army ransacked the sacred shrine it was viewed as an outrageous act by the Sikh community as a whole in India and abroad. The elemental Sikh passions rose to Himalayan heights proving right what Gautama Buddha said nearly 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ: 'There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.'

In the aftermath of Army action whose code word was 'Operation Bluestar' Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards at her official residence in New Delhi on October 31, that same year. The killing was reportedly a reprisal for ordering the army to enter the holiest of Sikh shrines. This triggered anti-Sikh riots in New Delhi which were mainly organised by the Congress Party in which nearly 3300 innocent Sikhs, men, women and children were brutally murdered by rioting mobs in JUST ONE DAY.

These systematic riots were planned and led by Congress activists and sympathisers. To be precise, on November 1, 1984, a huge mob from the suburbs of Delhi descended on various localities where the Sikhs were concentrated. They carried iron rods, knives, clubs, and combustible material, including kerosene. They had voters' lists of houses and business establishments belonging to the Sikhs. People swarmed into Sikh homes, ripping the occupants to pieces, chopping off the heads of children, raping women, tying Sikh men to tyres set aflame with kerosene, ransacking and burning down the houses and shops. They stopped buses and trains, in and out of Delhi, pulling out Sikh passengers to be lynched or doused with kerosene and burnt.

The then Congress government was widely criticised for doing very little at the time, if not acting as a conspirator, especially since voting lists were deliberately and systematically used to identify families for planned killing and extermination. Thus New Delhi and parts of north India witnessed a systematic, well planned and state-supported violence of genocidal proportions against that community. It is also a solidly known fact that a large number of the men were forced to witness the rape of their wives and daughters before being killed or burned alive in front of their families. Reports from the relief and rehabilitation camps pointed to the systematic decimation of the Sikh male population, particularly those of working age. Thus the Congress Party covered itself with eternal infamy and disgrace.

This ghastly tragedy took place not in a remote village on the border of China in Arunachal Pradesh but in New Delhi, the capital city of India. The President, the Home Minister and all the other leading Ministers in the Government showed their indifference and impotence in that moment of unprecedented crisis and disaster. The newly elected Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, son of the assassinated Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, allegedly made an abominable observation on the Sikh carnage, which only showed the extent and magnitude of his petrified adolescence: 'When a big tree falls, the earth is bound to shake.'

Perhaps Bernard Shaw had the political criminals in India after independence in view when he wrote; 'My way of joking is to tell the truth.'

Let me now narrate the truthful jokes about the innumerable COMMISSIONS OF ENQUIRY set up from time to time after the 1984 riots. The truth is under the political guidance of the Congress Party from 1984 to 1989 and from 1991 to 1996, many of the primary accused were either acquitted or never charge-sheeted. Ten commissions and committees have so far inquired into the riots. The most recent Commission was headed by judge G.T. Nanavati who submitted his 185-page report to the Home Minister, Shivraj Patil on February 9, 2005 and the report was tabled in Parliament on August 8, 2005. The commissions below are listed in the order they were formed.

Marwah Commission(1984)

This Commission was appointed in November 1984. Ved Marwah, Additional Commissioner of Police, was assigned the job of enquiring into the role of the police during the 1884 carnage. Marwah almost completed his inquiry towards the middle of 1985 when he was directed by the Central Government not to proceed further as the Misra Commission had been appointed by then. Complete records of the Marwah Commission were taken over by the government and were later transferred to the Misra Commission. However, the most important part of the record, namely the handwritten notes of Mr Marwah, which contained important information, were not transferred to the Misra Commission.

Dhillon Committee (1985)

Dhillon Committee headed by Gurdial Singh Dhillon was appointed in 1985 to recommend measures for the rehabilitation of the victims. This committee submitted its report by the end of 1985. One of its major recommendations was that the business establishments, which had insurance cover, but whose insurance claims were not settled by insurance companies on the technical ground that they were riot covered under insurance, should be paid compensation under the directions of the government. This committee recommended that since all insurance companies were nationalised, they be directed to pay the claims. However, the government did not accept this recommendation and as a result these claims were rejected by all insurance companies throughout the country.

Misra Commission of Enquiry (1985)

The Misra commission was appointed in May 1985. Rangnath Misra, a sitting judge of the Supreme Court. Misra submitted his report in August 1986 and the report was made public, in February 1987. There was only one term of reference to this commission, i.e. whether the violence was organised. Justice Misra stated that it was not part of his terms of reference to identify any person and recommended the formation of three committees. He said it was not. The commission and its report have been widely criticised as biased and politically motivated, thus resulting in a miscarriage of justice. The whole of India knows that Justice Misra was a chosen political favourite of the Congress Party.

Kapur Mittal Committee (1987)

The Kapur Mittal Committee was appointed in February 1987 on the recommendation of the Misra Commission. This committee submitted its report in 1990.

Jain Banerjee Committee (1987) 

This committee was to recommen registration of cases. This committee recommended registration of cases against Sajjan Kumar in August 1987, but no case was registered.

Ahuja Committee (1987)

The Ahuja Committee was the third recommended by the Misra Commission to ascertain the total number of killings in Delhi. This committee submitted its report in August 1987 and gave a figure of 2,733 as the number of Sikhs killed in Delhi alone.

Potti Rosha Committee (1990) 

The Potti Rosha Committee was appointed in March 1990, by the V.P. Singh Government, as a successor to the Jain Banerjee Committee. When the goons of the Congress party intimidated the Judges in September 1990, Potti and Rosha decided to disband their inquiry.

Jain Aggarwal Committee (1990) 

It was appointed in December 1990 as a successor to the Potti Rosha Committee. This committee recommended registration of cases against H.K.L.Bhagat, Sajjan Kumar, Dharamdas Shastri and Jagdish Tytler. No action was taken.

Narula Committee (1993) 

The Narula Committee was appointed in December 1993 by the Madan Lal Khurana Government in Delhi.

The Nanavati Commission (2004) 

Justice Nanavati (retired Supreme Court Judge) Commission was appointed in February 2004 by a unanimous resolution passed in the Rajya Sabha. The commission submitted its report in February 2004. The Commission outlined evidence against Congressmen Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and H.K.LBhagat, saying they had instigated the mobs to violence. The Commission also held the then police commissioner S.C. Tandon directly responsible for the riots.

There are many Sikhs who still feel bitter about the way they were targeted after Indira Gandhi's assassination and the inaction, or complicity, of Congress politicians in the riots. Their wounds have not healed even after 22 years. When I switched channels on the afternoon of he 3 November, I saw a television programme in which a spokesman of Sikhs for Justice was being interviewed by a correspondent of CNN-IBN. The spokesman said the following:

The Sikhs never forgive their enemies

Sikhs are patient, but once they know they are being taken for a ride, they will not hesitate to resort to other means.

Only when Sonia Gandhi is removed from the Congress will justice be done.

When I tried to view this particular television news later on their IBNLIVE.com website, I was unsuccessful. I fail to understand why the contents were deleted. The UPA Government subscribes to the philosophy that the Indian State will be best ordered when the good and the decent have no command and the wicked have!! I would like to remind them about what George Washington said: 'Government is not reason, it is not eloquence ' it is force! It is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.'

Judged by any standard we have an irresponsible Government in New Delhi today.

‘Sonia Congress falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.’— Vidhandavadham Vedhamurthy

In what can be viewed as a highly controversial decision and action, the highest Sikh temporal seat has declared the assassins of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as Martyrs of the Community.

At a special religious function, organised at the Akal Takht  in Amritsar  that was attended and headed by its Jathedar Gyani Joginder Singh Vedanti, Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh were hailed for targeting Indira  for “sending the Indian Army to the Golden Temple for Operation Blue Star in 1984”. Satwant and Kehar were hanged to death.

In these columns on 8.11.2006, under the caption ‘A Panoply of Orchestrated Fraud’,  I had observed as follows: ‘Indira Gandhi and her Congress Party were rooted in their self-embracing certainty and unabashed political arrogance when they took the fatal decision to send the Army to the Golden Temple at Amritsar in June 1984. When the army ransacked the sacred shrine it was viewed as an outrageous act by the Sikh community as a whole in India and abroad. The elemental Sikh passions rose to Himalayan heights proving right what Gautama Buddha said nearly 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ: ‘There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed’.

Kehar Singh, Beant Singh & Satwant Singh

In the aftermath of Army action directed against the ‘Golden Temple’ at Amritsar, whose code word was ‘Operation Blue Star’, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by Satwant Singh and beant Singh who were two of her Sikh bodyguards  at her official residence in New Delhi on 31 October 1984. That act of killing was reportedly a reprisal for ordering the army to enter the holiest of Sikh shrines. This triggered anti-Sikh riots in New Delhi which were mainly organized by the Congress Party in which nearly 3300 innocent Sikhs, men, women and children were brutally murdered by rioting mobs in JUST ONE DAY.

Within three hours after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, systematic riots were planned, organized  and launched by Congress  ‘goondas’, activists and sympathizers in New Delhi which lasted for three or four days starting from 31 October 1984. To be precise, on 1 November, 1984, a huge mob from the suburbs of New Delhi descended on various localities where the Sikhs were concentrated. They carried iron rods, knives, clubs, and combustible material, including kerosene.

They had voters’ lists of houses and business establishments belonging to the Sikhs. People swarmed into Sikh homes, ripping the occupants to pieces, chopping off the heads of children, raping women, tying Sikh men to tyres set aflame with kerosene, ransacking and burning down the houses and shops. They stopped buses and trains, in and out of Delhi, pulling out Sikh passengers to be lynched or doused with kerosene and burnt.  It is widely believed by the public that the then Congress government was acting as a leading conspirator, especially since voting lists were deliberately and systematically used by the Congress ‘goondas’ to identify families for planned killing and extermination.

Thus New Delhi and parts of north India witnessed a systematic, well planned and state-supported violence of genocidal proportions against the Sikh community. It is also a solidly known fact that a large number of Sikh men were forced to witness the rape of their wives and daughters before being killed or burned alive in front of their own families. Reports from the relief and rehabilitation camps pointed to the systematic decimation of the Sikh male population, particularly those of working age. Thus not only the Congress Party but also the Congress Government under Rajiv Gandhi covered themselves with eternal infamy and disgrace.

This ghastly Sikh genocide took place not in a remote village on the border of China in Arunachal Pradesh but in New Delhi, the capital city of India. The President of India, the Prime Minister of India, the Union Home Minister and all the other leading Ministers in the Government showed their indifference and impotence at that moment of unprecedented crisis and disaster.

The newly elected and immature Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, son of the assassinated Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, allegedly made an abominable observation on the Sikh carnage, which only showed the extent and magnitude of his petrified adolescence: ‘When a big tree falls, the earth is bound to shake.’  I am not giving a joke.  This is the truth.

Sonia Gandhi and her Party men want the Hindu victims of ‘Godhra’ Train carnage in Gujarat in 2002, to forget that tragedy.  Similarly they want the innocent Sikh victims of Congress Government sponsored Congress terrorism in New Delhi from 31 October 1984 to the 10 November 1984 to completely erase from their memory the suffering and the trauma undergone by them as a community during that period.

The Recent Controversial Resolution of Akal Thakt to treat the two assassins of Indira Gandhi as Martyrs clearly brings out the fact that the anti-people Congress Party can never succeed in its criminal attempts to use the transitory might of the Congress Government to forcibly confiscate sacred public thoughts, memories, feelings and sentiments about those heroic men and women who have already been installed in the sanctum sanctorum of the hearts of millions of ordinary men and women.

It is no surprise that the embers of the great anti-Sikh conflagration planned, organized and launched by the Congress party in New Delhi in which more than 3000 innocent Sikhs were killed in a matter of two days after the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her own Sikh bodyguards on 31 October, 1984, are refusing to die down even 22 years after the barbarous massacre.

During the last three years, the deliberately anti-Hindu and anti-national Sonia Congress Party has viewed the heroic deeds of great freedom fighters like Baghat Singh, Sukh Dev and Chandersekar Azad as acts of terrorism.  For the Congress Party and its allies in the UPA Government in New Delhi, these freedom fighters are not martyrs but terrorists.  That was the foolishly wrong view of Mahatma Gandhi and his followers even one day before the date of execution of Baghat Singh in March 1931.  For Sonia Gandhi and her followers only men like Afzal Guru are the true martyrs. Even when our Prime Minister addressed the Oxford University, by implication he had described these selfless fighters as misguided terrorists.

I wonder whether President Bush, addressing a meeting in Oxford or Cambridge, would dare to describe George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin as misguided terrorists.  Judged by Sonia Congress standards, all freedom fighters like Mazzini, Boliver, Mau Tse Tung, Mujibur Rahman, and many others would also qualify as terrorists.

During the dark days of emergency from 1975 to 1977, Indira Gandhi functioned like a Supreme dictator, very much like Hitler in Nazi Germany, Stalin in Soviet Russia and Mao tse Tung in China. She used the might of the Government of India to arrest and incarcerate all the opposition leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan, Morarji Desai, Attal Bihai Vajpayee, L K Advani, George Fernandes and many others without a trial. All civil liberties of the Indian people as a whole were crushed by Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi. The masses of India rose as one man and threw her and her party out of office after the General Elections in 1977.  Both Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi were terrorists!  The BJP should thank God that Vajpayee and Advani did not participate in the struggle for our freedom.  If only they had done so, they too would have labelled as Terrorists by Sonia Gandhi and her slavish henchmen.

When Indira Gandhi came back to power with a thumping majority after the 1980 General Elections, she turned her guns against the Sikh community. To begin with she had a romantic political infatuation for Brindrawale and her contact man was Zail Singh who was using Brindrawale as a weapon against the Akalis in the Punjab. Finally Brindrawale turned against Indira Gandhi, Zail Singh and the Congress party. Zail Singh was rewarded out of turn, like an obedient and ever-servile Mansabdar in the days of Aurangazeb, by Indira Gandhi when he was elevated as Union Home Minister and later installed as President of India.

The Congress Party under the leadership of former Union Railway Minister Jaffer Sheriff let loose terrorism against the civilian population in Bangalore city soon after the execution of Saddam Hussain in Iraq.  Likewise the Congress Party let loose terrorism in Punjab by supporting the Chief of Dera Sacha Saudha in order to divide and rule over the Sikhs in Punjab.  In the dirty market place of Indian politics, Islamic terrorism and Sonia Congress terrorism have become two sides of the same Secular Coin today.

To conclude in the words of a distinguished Civil Servant ‘None of the accused congress men could be brought to book after the massacre of innocent Sikhs in New Delhi on 1 November, 1984. They were acquitted on benefit of doubt. Benefit of doubt can help in the acquittal of an individual charged with crime but it cannot obliterate the pages of history recorded with indelible blood of innocent people. Events fade into insignificance over time but benefits of doubt, on the contrary, loom larger, based as they are on doubts only of involvement of benefitted persons and not of occurrence.

The nation as a whole and, the Sikh community in particular, started suspecting the misconceived notions of Satwant singh and Kehar Singh, the terrorists, as well conceived vision of two martyrs. The suspicions of the nation and the Sikhs were confounded when Sonia Gandhi apologized to the Sikhs for the inaction of her party in power. Today the vociferous outcry of the Congress against the alleged Post-Godhra killings reverberating in the stillness of the graves of the innocent Sikhs have confirmed the suspicions, not only of the Sikhs but also all the Hindus of India.’
