London, United Kingdom (September 26, 2013): In a statement sent to the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) the Dal Khalsa UK has strongly criticized and condemned the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee’s President Manjit Singh GK’s visit to the UK.
“GK arrived in the UK with his entire Committee with an aim to sow the seed of doubt amongst the UK Sikh Sangat in regards to the Khalistan Sikh Freedom Movement. Alongside this he was sent to create a false sense of security for Sikhs in India & those on the so called ‘blacklist’ of the Hindutva Indian State” reads the statement.
According to the Dal Khalsa UK after the aquittal of the Sajjan Kumar by Indian Courts in regards to his role in the 1984 Delhi Sikh Genocide,Manjit Singh GK, his team and the Hindu BJP Party used this aquittal to their advantage. Majit Singh GK led protests which included widows of November 1984 massacres and the Sikhs from across Delhi demanding ‘Justice’ for Sikh Genocide 1984.
According to the Dal Khalsa UK: [i]n the eyes of the Sikhs living in India; and to some extent those living abroad Majit Singh GK had earned their respect through the emotional speeches the DSGMC made to the Sikh Sangat in Delhi.
Now that Manjit Singh GK and the DSGMC had earned some sort of legitimacy using the pending 1984 justice issue,they set about establishing themselves as the new ‘Panthic’ body in India & the World, says the Dal Khalsa UK.
“After Sikhs in Delhi were brutally once again attacked in Delhi – Tilak Vihar on the 15th of August by Hindu Mobs who said they will ‘repeat 1984’ GK’s true colours started to appear. The DSGMC at first visited victims who were injured in the attacks in hospitals this turned out to be a show for the cameras & the Sikh Nation Worldover” reads the statement by Dal Khalsa UK.
According to the Diaspora Sikh body [t]he DSGMC then openly blamed Sikh Youths for starting the incidents in Delhi and even handed some in to the Police,when the Sikh Youths asked for assistance they turned their back on them. This was after the so called ‘Peace March’ the DSGMC led in Delhi – Tilak Vihar. It does not take rocket science to work out that this entire issue was orchestrated by GK,his team and their Hindutva handlers.
Rest of the statement reads as follows:
Upon GK’s & the DSGMC’s arrival in the UK the Sangat welcomed them with open arms at all Gurdwaras and gave them a chance to speak to see what they had to say to Sikhs living in the Western Hemisphere. GK & his team then went on to the Sikh Channel 840 for a live question & answer programme. In which the Sangat asked that at the International Dastaar Awareness Day 2013 in Italy GK said he was a ‘Hindustani’. GK was asked live on air that after 1984 the foundation of Khalistan was laid as per the historical speech by Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale,that ‘The day the Hindutva Indian Army steps inside Sri Harmandar Sahib,the foudantion stone of Khalistan will be laid’.
GK replied to the question by saying that he is ‘firmly a Hindustani’ and then went on to mention historical Sikh sacrifices that Sikhs gave to free the South Asian Subcontinent from Colonial Rule,till the modern day,this was his excuse for being a ‘Hindustani’. When further pressed on Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale’s quote,GK stunned listeners & the studio audience by saying Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale never spoke of Khalistan. GK also claimed that there was no other person closer to Sant Ji than him (GK).
GK should know that Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale declared Khalistan on the night of June 5th during the ‘Operation Bluestar’ Genocidal attack on the Sri Harmandar Sahib complex. The Sikh Nation formally declared Khalistan from Sri Akal Takht in 1986 at the Sarbat Khalsa. GK blatantly ignored these historical facts when ranting about being a Proud Hindustani.
How can any true Sikh be a Hindustani when the Indian Constitution denys that Sikhism is a unique & separate faith,in the eyes of Indian Law Sikhism does not exist but it is subset of Hinduism.
Article 25 Section 2 (B)
In sub clause (b) of clause reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jaina or Buddhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be construed accordingly.
GK seems to ignore the above and still call himself a Hindustani,while claiming to be a ‘Sikh Leader’.
The DSGMC like the SGPC is another instrument in the hands of the Hindutva State designed to destroy any Sikh voices for Freedom & to keep a grip on the Sikh Nation. Their leader Badal who is hand in glove with the Rashtriya SwayamSevak Sangh (RSS)/Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP),has his grip over all Sikh institutions in order to control the Sikh Nation in one way or another be it in India or abroad. It is no coincidence that Badal is related to the Radhaswami leader Gurinder Dhillon who along with the so called ‘Sikh Sant Samaj’ thieves work to lead Sikhs astray.
Sukhbir Badal – Parkash Badal’s son seems to have taken the lead on sending GK & his team to Western nations where their are large concentrations of Sikhs,such as Italy,France,the UK & Canada.
GK admitted he was sent to the UK to crush the demand for Khalistan,just as the RSS puppet Rulda was sent several years ago.
The Times of India reported:
” Manjit, who is on a seven-day tour to the UK and Dubai that began on Tuesday, has been sent by the Shiromani Akali Dal to convince separatists to cease the demand for separate statehood and return to India.
Manjit, however, refused to relent. “I have come to the UK as a nationalist. We want both separatists and the kids of asylum seekers to return to India and join the country,” Manjit said. He was replying to a volley of questions posed by radical Dal Khalsa founder member Manmohan Singh. ”
GK was due to speak at several Gurdwaras across the UK such as the Guru Nanak Darbar in Southall but after successful opposition by Dal Khalsa UK in Southall & Sikh Sangat in other areas GK cancelled his appearances.
GK has also on several occasions gone on record in the last few months including on Sikh Channel to say that it is due to him and his Sikh supporters in Delhi that UK Sikhs live with full rights justice & freedom ie: the right to wear the Turban,Carry the Kirpan etc.
Dal Khalsa UK would like to categorically state directly to GK that neither him or his Congress backed puppet father Santokh Singh can have no claim to fame when it comes to the establishment of UK Sikhs & laws which protect them.
The only group of people that can take the credit for the establishment of laws protecting Sikhs in the UK & the establishment of the Sikh Community in the UK are UK Sikhs themselves. Not any Puppets sitting in Delhi or any other foreign group or community.
Wherever Sikhs have gone they have fought hard to establish themselves as a hard-working community who have earned the rights to reside in the country they are in. For the majority of UK Sikhs our Forefathers & Grandfathers fought & died for this country earned their place here fought hard to gain employment,civil & human rights. Yet decades later we have stooges of the Hindutva Indian Government like GK telling the Sikh youth of today that it was due to him his father & his group of thieves that Sikhs in the UK live with complete freedom,this is an insult to the sacrifices of our Forefathers who deserve the real credit for establishing the UK Sikh Community.
GK & the DSGMC’s plan to sow the seed of doubt in regards to Sikh Freedom & Khalistan in the UK has failed miserably,along with his promotion of ‘Hindustan’. GK even claimed his life was in threat and had to have an apparent Police escort in the Midlands,Dal Khalsa UK would like to state that Manjit GK the DSGMC & any other puppets of the Hindutva Indian State/Badal are not welcome to the United Kingdom,for they are a threat to the peace & harmony of the UK Sikhs as they attempt to meddle in our affairs to cause division,doubt & suspicion amongst UK Sikhs.
Sikhs in the Western Hemisphere including the UK will continue to work to expose the human rights abuses of Sikhs in India. We will continue to campaign for Khalistan the Sikh Homeland – birth right of Sikhs,we will continue to expose the 1984 Sikh Genocide. The Hindutva State can send thousands of Manjit GK’s & other puppets with offers of removal of names from blacklists etc,they can keep their blacklists no true Sikh will demand the removal of his/her name & beg the very state which committed genocide on Sikhs for forgiveness for being Sikh.
We also hope all UK Sikhs have learned a lesson with GK & the DSGMC’s visit as a warning shot that the Hindutva State has not stopped of thinking of ways to sabotage UK Sikhs & the wider Khalistan,Sikh human rights movement.
We should take this a sign to be more firm in our exposure of the 1984 Sikh Genocide to counter the efforts of the Hindutva State which wants to silence demands for justice which will be the Sovereign State of Khalistan.
