Dal Khalsa plans long march focusing on Sikh Nationalism

Encouraged by the success of a week long Sikh Freedom March and Genocide Remembrance March, the Dal Khalsa today announced another unique initiative to reach out to the masses focusing on Sikh Nationalism.

Addressing the press conference party leaders Harcharanjit Singh Dhami, Jaspal Singh Dhillon and Kanwar Pal Singh said the march would start from Akal Takht Sahib after performing prayer (Ardas) on March 12 and would culminate at Anandpur Sahib on the eve of Hollaha Mohalla (March 14). On 13th there would be a conference at Fathegarh Sahib on the issue of Sikh Nationhood, they added.

Around 400 active members of the organization would be part of the long procession. The march would move from Amritsar to Anandpur Sahib touching major cities including Jalandhar, Phagwara, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Fatehgarh Sahib, Morinda and Ropar.

Outlining the organization rationale behind the move, senior leader Harcharanjit Singh Dhami said the ideological decline in Sikh polity has deviated the young generation from offering selfless services towards the common cause of the Sikh Panth. “We are at a critical time in the history and find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect. We face a ruthless and crafty enemy intent on destroying our culture and identity”, said Mr Dhami, former president of the party.

Leaders of the Dal Khalsa emphasized on character building of youth and imbibing Sikhi spirit in them. The struggle may well be fought on dozens of fronts and for many years to come. As this could be an election year, the leaders felt that the need of the hour is to raise the level of awareness amongst Sikhs masses to stop their exploitation by mainstream political parties especially SAD-BJP and the Congress.

They felt that the politicians took the electorate for ride. They alleged that all political parties san ideological agenda. The run-of-the-mill politics pursued by SAD and Congress has corrupted the minds of the people of the state. “Our step was one way to reach out to the masses to educate them on the misdeeds of politicians, functioning of the SGPC, DSGMC and degradation of moral values in Sikh society”, said Kanwarpal Singh, general secretary of the party.

To a question, they ridicule the justice system of the country that has failed to take suo motto notice of the DGP’s candid admission for raising counter insurgents to carry out extra-judicial killings. Mr Virk’s statement was just a tip of the iceberg, said Mr Dhami. They said there were hundreds of likes of Sukhvinder Singh Sukhi who were patronized by the state to “neutralize” those Sikh youth who picked up arms to avenge the desecration of Darbar Sahib in 1984. “These police cats indulged in lootings, kidnappings and senseless killings not only to defame the Sikh struggle but sometimes to serve the vested interests of their immediate bosses”. It was mind-blowing to hear from the mouth of the DGP that there were 300 counter-insurgents who had killed people in large number but were living a lavish lives under assumed names just because they had helped police in combating militancy”.

Taking a dig chief minister, they said Captain Amrinder Singh has shamefully recommended another two-year extension for Mr Virk. Instead of singing praises in favour of Mr Virk, Captain should have immediately removed him for violating the law of the land. They also took Parkash Singh Badal to task for failing to curb the menace of “cat culture” during his five-year stint as chief minister of the state. Would Harcharan Brar, Bibi Bhattal, Badal and now Amrinder Singh explain to people of the state how could police be above the judiciary asked the leaders of the radical group? We have strong feeling that all chief ministers were hand in glove with police for all what went wrong, said Dhami.

We don’t think the long and strong arms of the law would caught hold of those policemen sitting on high posts who had played havoc with the lives of Sikhs. “This is surely the case to be raised at international forums including the United Nations. We would shortly prepare a document to apprise the western world about the dismal plight of the Sikhs in India”.

Commenting on the Vishav Sikh Samelan being organized by Damdami Taksal on Feb 26, they said their organization would not participate in it. They pointed out that since the function has already been mired with controversies, hence it would not leave any positive impact on the Sikh masses. Contrary to Sikh Samelan, they said it would ultimate end up as ‘Sant Samelan’, as was evident from publicity material of the organizers. They said they don’t want to share the stage with Sant Samaj, because as per Sikh principles there was no room for separate samaj within the Sikh society. However, they said that Damdami Taksal still commands respect within a section of Sikhs because of its contribution towards Sikh struggle in 80’s. “We were disturbed to note that Taksal was fast loosing its charisma because of indecisive decisions and ineffective leadership, said Mr Dhillon.

Others who were present during the press conference were Dr Manjinder Singh, Sarbjit Singh Ghuman and Ranbir Singh.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
