Kashmir, Ayodhya, CAB and Next NRC Are All Steps Leading India to Hindu Rashtra, says Dal Khalsa
December 15, 2019 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Amritsar (Press Release): Riding on a clear-cut anti-Muslim plank, the Narendra Modi-led Bhartiya Janata Party is hurriedly working on its agenda to transform India into a Hindu Rashtra, said Dal Khalsa in a statement condemning the recently enacted Citizenship Act.
The organisation is of the firm belief that targeting one minority and appeasing another is an old and time-tested tactic of the Indian state.

First, it was the abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir. Then came a biased verdict on Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. This has been followed by an amendment to the Citizenship Act and the National Register for Citizenship -NRC is next on the cards. All these are clear signs of the BJP’s march towards a Hindu Rashtra.
With Modi’s re-election, the developments in 2019 are disturbing and dangerous and require strong denunciation, said the Dal Khalsa statement.
“Just because Sikhs are protected under CA does not mean that we do not understand the mala-fide intentions of the Union government led by fascist RSS/BJP”, said party spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh.
The series of events in the recent past point towards the plight of religious minorities in this India. The need of the hour is the working unity among oppressed people from Kashmir to all the Northeastern states.
The CAB has disturbed all the minorities and has instilled insecurity among them. Is there any place in the developed world where asylum seekers are excluded on the basis of their religion?” Dal Khalsa leader Kanwar Pal Singh asked.
He said that the Sikhs have spoken in the past for Kashmiris and will continue to speak out for the Muslims who are being targeted. He said that his organisation is supporting the countrywide protests against fascist policies of the Narendra Modi government.
Deriding the leadership of Shiromani Akali Dal that has celebrated 99th foundation day of the party last day, Kanwar Pal Singh said Badal’s took two decisions in 2019 and both were against the spirit and constitution of the party. Akalis sided with BJP to deprive Jammu and Kashmir of its special status and exclude Muslims from the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The Badals have deviated from the core values and objectives of the Akali Dal and in the process, they have lost the moral right to demand and struggle for political autonomy for Punjab.
