Mukatsar: The situation went out of control in the Maghi Nagar keertan organized by the SGPC here today when the DSP Mukatsar Baljit Singh Sandhu along with his police party pounced upon the float by the Bhujhang Khalsa International. Bhujhang Khalsa International float was decorated with the pictures and huge hoardings of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale. The police searched the float thoroughly. When they could not find anything during the search, they took away two kirpans belonging to singhs in the float. The police seperated the float from the nagar keertan and took it to the police station Mukatsar and arrested Maninder Singh, the president of Bhujhang khalsa international who was present on the float.A large number of youth lead by Ranjeet Singh Jeeta, spokesperson of Bhujhang Khalsa International assembled in front of the police station in protest against this police action. In view of the protest, the police released Maninder Singh after a while.

We can't even put a picture of our hero up on a nagar kirtan, while they have massive statues of Indra Ghandi, who was a mass murderer. The police took kirpans, what rights did they have. I bet the police is sell out pappuuus "so called sikh idoits". Sant Jarnail Singh was not no racist, he did't say kill innocents, he just done his duty to defend.

Salutations and prayers needed for a Defender of the faith

It has been 2 years since Bhai Jagwinder Singh Ji got Shaheed by what hints towards assassins hired by the Indian government. I take this opportunity and ask for everyone to do a special ardas for the chardi kala of his little kids and family. We have to show our support and remain loyal to our fellow brothers who gave their life for the Panth.

Brussels , Belgium (KP) - Bhai Jagwinder Singh a Sikh activist who was involved in the Julio Ribiero case in Romania was assassinated under mysterious circumstances on the night of April 17th 2006. According to witnesses, a lone masked gunman entered the STD business of Bhai Jagwinder Singh, as he was conversing on the telephone and preparing to close for the day. The assassin fired two shots into the head of Jagwinder Singh and promptly fled the scene. Jagwinder Singh succumbed to the gunshot wounds instantaneously. The customer who witnessed this incident narrated the shocking events to the local police. However, what is interesting is that the police are calling this assassination a robbery even though nothing was stolen from Bhai Jagwinder Singh or from his business.

For many, including the police, this murder may seem like a normal everyday crime but to see the reality one would need to look deeper into these events and know the history of Bhai Jagwinder Singh. Bhai Sahib was not just an owner of a STD business and the father of a three year old girl and one year old boy, he was in fact a freedom fighter of the Sikh independence movement.

Background

Bhai Jagwinder Singh hailed from a village in the Ludhiana district by name of Rakba, which is close to Malapur. Bhai Sahib rose to prominence when he along with his associates had tracked down the former head of Punjab Police Julio Ribiero. Ribiero and the forces under his command during his tenure as head of the Punjab Police are alleged to have committed horrendous acts of violence, abuse of human rights, torture, and the 'disappearance' of thousands of innocent Sikh youths all across the Punjab.

Julio Ribiero, after serving as head of the Punjab Police was appointed as the Indian ambassador in the country of Romania. On the evening of August 30th 1991, Bhai Jagwinder Singh along with his companions carried out an assassination attempt against Ribiero. This attempt failed, however Ribiero was left in a gravely wounded state. Bhai Jagwinder Singh was also seriously wounded in this endeavor, receiving eight gunshot wounds.

One companion of Bhai Sahib by the name of Bhai Jugraj Singh attained martyrdom during this encounter while the security forces apprehended the third companion Bhai Pargat Singh. Subsequently, Bhai Jagwinder Singh and Bhai Pargat Singh were awarded life sentences for their role in the attempted assassination of Ribiero. In the year of 1998 they were both released from prison due to good behavior. After being released from jail, Pargat Singh settled in Greece while Jagwinder Singh settled in Belgium.

Previous Attempts

Interestingly this was not the first attempt on the life of Bhai Jagwinder Singh. In fact, it is alleged that there has been at least two other attempts on his life that have been narrated by his friends, family members, and acquaintances. One incident is that of men in a police vehicle watching his home and following him whenever he left his home. When this came to the attention of Bhai Sahib, he instructed his taxi driver to drive to the nearest police station. As Bhai Sahib's taxi entered the police station, the police vehicle that was following him for quite some time turned around and went in the opposite direction. Bhai Jagwinder Singh proceeded to ask the police officials whether they had a police car with the number that the car following him displayed. The police responded that they did not have any such vehicle with that number in their fleet. Bhai Sahib was convinced that those following him were out to take his life.

Being concerned that there was an organized effort to finish him, Bhai Sahib began making arrangements to leave Belgium. Through a travel agent Bhai Sahib was preparing to find the legal means of leaving the country. The travel agent would always find some excuse to give Bhai Sahib whenever he called.

One day unexpectedly, Bhai Sahib received a call from the travel agent instructing him to immediately come to a small airport in a different town as his paperwork to leave the country for another place had been completed. Bhai Sahib left for the airport along with a non-Sikh friend. In route to the airport it crossed Bhai Sahib's mind that there were no outbound international flights from such a small airport. Bhai Sahib became suspicious that this was yet another scheme in the process of taking his life, but decided to go on ahead and find out for himself.

Bhai Sahib was told that a certain individual would receive him at the airport. Upon reaching the airport Bhai Sahib's non-Sikh friend ran into the man who was going to receive Bhai Sahib. It turned out that his friend and the receiver had known each other in the past. Bhai Sahib's friend upon questioning the receiver came to know that he was there to eliminate Bhai Sahib and had received the amount of $50,000 from an official of a certain country.

After they parted ways, Bhai Sahib met the man who was there to receive him. There he began questioning Bhai Sahib whether or not he had all his paperwork in his bag and what else that bag contained. Bhai Sahib was one step ahead of those who were out to get him, and told the man that his bag also contained weapons. As they parted Bhai Sahib and his friend returned to the car instead of fully entering the airport, which they then noticed that yet again they were being followed by a car. As they came to an isolated section of the town, the occupants of the pursuing car opened fire on Bhai Sahib's vehicle. With Akal Purakh's kirpa, Bhai Sahib was not hurt or injured in the firing and the other car sped off.

Although previous attempts suspected to be the handywork of a certain government agency failed, unfortunately they finally managed to take the life of this great individual. They have just added one more name to the long list of Sikh freedom fighters that continues to grow and as a result bringing the Khalsa Panth towards its righteous goal of self-determination.

CBI declines to record statement by Tytler Witness

New Delhi (KP) – Fully committed to closing the case against Jagdish Tytler, the CBI has declined to record the statement by Jasbir Singh via video conference. Jasbir Singh, an NRI based in California, opted to appear at any US Court to testify in the case against Tytler as a key eye-witness, most likely for his own safety.

After receiving a notice from the Delhi High Court to contact Jasbir Singh regarding his testimony, the CBI has filed a response alleging that to record Jasbir Singh overseas through video conferencing would be a difficult task. The CBI has also alleged that it would not be able to verify the identity of Jasbir Singh unless he appeared himself in front of the court here. Earlier, the CBI had closed the case against Jagdish Tytler declaring an absence of eye-witnesses.

Although Jasbir Singh had previously appeared in front of the Nanavati Commission, the CBI had declared him as untraceable. Later, Jasbir Singh, while staying in California, contacted several TV stations and newspapers and alleged that he had personally heard Jagdish Tytler encouraging the mobs against the Sikhs during the November 1984 riots.

Jasbir Singh has sent several emails to the CBI offering his cooperation in the case against Jagdish Tytler while staying in the US. According to the Code of Criminal Procedures Section 166A (1), non-resident Indians are allowed to testify in foreign courts. Nonetheless, the CBI has continued to demand Jasbir Singh's presence in the court case.

Navkiran Singh, Jasbir Singh's council from Chandigarh , has alleged his client is not in a position to return to India as he faces a threat to his life. Family members of Jasbir Singh in New Delhi have been continuously facing death threats on the phone. Navkiran Singh told the press that the CBI must provide provisions to Jasbir Singh and record his testimony through video conferencing.

If the government got him to do this and he is part of the same government, how do you expect him to be punished. The hindu government aren't backstabbers and unloyal like the sikhs are to eachother.

Police tape surrounds a home in 7800-block in North Delta where an infant girl was found dead this morning. A man at the scene has been arrested.

DELTA, B.C. - A little girl has been found slain in her North Delta home and her father has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The victim was approximately 18-months-old, the youngest of three daughters in the family, said Surinder Johal, who lived in a basement suite in the home where the death occurred.
By 11 a.m. today, two hours after police received a 911 call, word of the killing had spread throughout the neighbourhood, drawing small groups of men and women to the crime scene.
Police tape stretched across 116 Street at both ends of the 7800 block, barring the public from approaching the house, a neat, white split-level home with a fenced backyard.

Delta police Const. Paul Eisenzimmer said the child, whom he described as a "toddler," was dead by the time officers arrived at 9 a.m.

An adult male in the house at 7888 116 St. was arrested, he said. Eisenzimmer described the suspect as a man in his 40s, adding "there is believed to be a family connection." He refused to provide more details.

Neighbours identified the suspect as Lakhwinder Singh Kahlon and the dead girl as his daughter, Rajwinder (Ravi) Kahlon.

Johal said she spoke with Kahlon's wife, Manjit, by telephone shortly after the child's death.
She and other neighbours said Lakhwinder Kahlon had worked in construction, but had not been working recently. He was known as a clean living man who did not drink or smoke.

Neighbours said the older girls are about nine- and 12-years-old, and are students at nearby McCloskey Elementary.

Residents of the neighbourhood were shocked by the death.

"It's scary, scary, scary," said Ashley Leslie, adding she did not know the family.
"It's freaky that it even happens this close to home," said Jennifer Lick.
"It's disgusting," she said when she learned the victim was a young child.

Police called the incident tragedy.

"This is an isolated incident. A young child is dead and a family has been torn apart,"

Eisenzimmer said in a news release.

"The Delta police department shares the grief of those who have suffered this loss."
Kahlon has worked as a drywaller and Manjit Kaur Kahlon worked as a seamstress, according to documents obtained from the land title office.
