Dr. Aulakh Speaks at Chicago
Conference on Sovereignty and Human Rights
Conference Sponsored by Akali Dal
(Amritsar) Very Well Attended
WASHINGTON,
D.C., December 14, 2012 ? Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of
Khalistan, was among the speakers at a conference on sovereignty and human
rights sponsored by the Akali Dal (Amritsar) in Chicago on December 8-9-10.
The conference was very well publicized and was attended by Sikhs from
France, England, Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world,
including Sardar Eman Singh Mann, son of former Member of Parliament Simranjit
Singh Mann, leader of the Akali Dal (Amritsar). Dr. Paramjit Singh
Ajrawat also spoke. ?Eman Singh Mann is a well-educated man who has the
potential to lead the Sikh Nation,? said Dr. Aulakh. ?I wish him
success.?
On Sunday
December 8, as the conference began, about 30 clean-shaven men, only two
wearing turbans, entered and came near the podium. They were affiliated
with the Akali Dal (Badal) and the Congress Party. They complained that
there should be no such meetings in the Gurdwara. Gurdwara President Bibi
Sukhdev Kaur handled the situation very well, calling the police and asking the
attackers to talk downstairs. The police informed the protestors that they
could go upstairs and listen quietly but if they caused a disturbance they
would be arrested. They left the Gurdwara. This disturbance shows once
again that Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal is an agent of the Indian
government.
Every
speaker at the convention addressed the issue of the need for Khalistan.
Dr. Aulakh condemned goondaism by the Badal regime and the Congress
Party. After his speech, he raised five slogans of ?Khalistan Zindabad?,
which were very well received. Dr. Ajrawat made a very emotional speech
regarding the independence of Khalistan. He mentioned that Indian
government agents sat among us and that if anyone wanted to know who, he would
gladly name them. He raised five slogans each of ?Khalistan Zindabad? and
?Akal Takht To Iai Awaz Khalistan Khalistan.?
The Sikh
Nation needs freedom. As Sant Bhindranwale said, ?the day the Indian
government attacks the Golden Temple, the foundation of Khalistan will be
laid.? In 1986, Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochal, then Jathedar of the Akal
Takht Sahib, who was later killed by the Indian government, held a Sarbat
Khalsa on April 29, 1986 at Akal Takht Sahib, which passed a resolution for
Khalistan. Then on October 7, 1987, Jathedar Manochal and the Panthic
Committee declared Khalistan independent. They formed the Council of
Khalistan with Dr. Aulakh as President. The Council of Khalistan is the
government pro tempore to lead the struggle for independence by gathering
support from the Sikh diaspora and the international community. Since
then, the Council of Khalistan has led the effort, working very hard to achieve
independence. There are over 1500 statements by Members of the U.S.
Congress in the Congressional Record on the human rights violations against
Sikhs and the independence of Khalistan. The U.S. Congress has held many
hearings on human-rights violations in India. The late General Narinder
Singh, who said that ?Punjab is a police state?, and Justice Ajit Singh Bains
of the Punjab Human Rights Organization are among those who have been invited
to speak at these hearings. The Congress has cut aid to India seven
times. India has been exposed as a major oppressor of minorities and
violator of human rights.
A report
issued by the Movement Against State Repression (MASR) quotes the Punjab Civil
Magistracy as writing ?if we add up the figures of the last few years the
number of innocent persons killed would run into lakhs [hundreds of
thousands.]? According to Sardar Mann, the Indian government has murdered
over a million Sikhs since 1982. Sardar Inderjit Singh Jaijee, author of
The Politics of Genocide, and Bibi Baljit Kaur of the Movement Against State
Repression (MASR) told Dr. Aulakh that if it were not for the efforts of the
Council of Khalistan, that number might be ten times as high. India has
also killed more than 300,000 Christians in Nagaland, over 100,000 Muslims in
Kashmir, and tens of thousands of Tamils, Assamese, Bodos, Manipuris, and
others. The Indian Supreme Court called the Indian government's murders of
Sikhs "worse than a genocide.?
?I would
like to thank S. Buta Singh Kharaud, convenor of the SAD (ASR-USA) for hosting
this conference,? said Dr. Aulakh. ?India must stop trying to sow
confusion and stop trying to subvert the Sikh Nation?s God-give right to freedom.
Instead, India should allow a free and fair plebiscite on independence
for Khalistan and all the nations of South Asia,? he said. ?As Professor
Darshan Singh said, ?If a Sikh is not a Khalistani, he is not a Sikh?,? Dr.
Aulakh noted. ?It is time to free Khalistan so Sikhs can live in freedom and
dignity.?
