Once Again India Blames Pakistan


Recommended Posts

NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday blamed Pakistan for trying to revive Sikh militancy and said that the neighbouring country's spy agency ISI continued to train misguided youth from the community to carry out terror attacks not only in Punjab but also in other parts of the country.

Revealing the ISI'sgameplan, Union home minister SushilkumarShinde said, "Sikh youth based and settled in Europe and US are also being motivated in this regard".

He said, "Sikh youth are being trained in ISI facilities in Pakistan. Interdictions and interrogations have revealed use of jailed cadres, unemployed youth, criminals and smugglers by Pak-based Sikh terror groups for facilitating terror attacks".

Though the home minister did not give any specific example, he referred to interrogation reports of arrested militants and seizures of a large quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives, including RDX, which found its way into Punjab through the western borders, to substantiate his point.

Addressing the chief ministers here at a conference on internal security, Shinde said the state police had recovered "significant quantity of RDX" during operations in Rajasthan and Punjab in the last one year.

The home minister also underlined in his speech that the country continued to face serious challenges of its internal security scenario from "jehadi terrorists".

He said, "India has long and porous border with Bangladesh and Nepal, which have been used by Pak-based jehadi groups to ex-filtrate terrorists out of India for training in Pakistan and induction of terrorists\hardware\finance into India for actions.

"Jehadi tanzeems in Pakistan with affiliation to LeT, JeM and Indian Mujahideen (IM) have set up channels for transfer of funds from Pakistan to India via Gulf and Nepal, besides using Western Union money transfer and hawala channel. Moreover, ex-SIMI cadres and similar militant elements based in Gulf have also been observed collecting money for causing destruction in India".

Referring to Jammu & Kashmir, Shinde said though the situation in the state was improved and terrorist strength in the Valley had declined, the cross border terrorist infrastructure remained intact.

He said though there were reports that the number of terror training camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) had come down from 42 to 21, it needed to be verified.

Stating that the terror groups were taking advantage of communication channels which have become more sophisticated over a period of time, the home minister said, "From mobile phones, terrorists today have moved on to use of satellite phones, Thuraya sets, use of spoofed IDs and coded transactions over e-mail and chat sessions, besides VoIP to communicate across the border".

thats wat they are good at...blame it on external forces and not on the injustice they have done to our community...wat else they expect from us after all that happened..

there is no need for pakistan to motivate sikh youth for khalistan...india's own actions are enough for that.

That's been the problem with the Indian government and Indian media for decades. They don't want to look at the cause of Punjab's anger and find solutions to the problem because then they would have to look at their guilty faces in the mirror which they can't. Instead what do they do? They just see the end result and say "oh it must be all Pakistan's fault". This is what a person does who has their head under the sand and can't take responsibility for their actions which led to the whole situation in the first place.

Now Sikhs in the west are hi-lighting the Sikh genocide, but in an orderly and peaceful manner much like the way the Tibetans are doing about China. This type of peaceful protests are more embarrassing to India than anything else. They want it to stop. So they make up fake stories about Pakistan recruiting Sikhs for a militant struggle in order to discredit the Sikh struggle for justice. If it is the Naxalite struggle, the blaim it on the Chinese, if it is the north western separatists they claim that on Bangladesh. When will India learn

Indian home minister’s Sikh militancy remarks draws flak

By PARMJIT SINGH Published: June 7, 2013

Ludhiana/Chandigarh (June 07, 2013): Indian Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde’s remarks that Pakistan’s ISI was fanning Sikh militancy in India has drawn intense criticism from various Sikh organizations. It is learnt that various Sikh bodies have slammed the India’s home minister for making such a statement and for resorting to rhetoric to create a fabricated adverse impression against Sikh political activists.

It may be recalled that while addressing the Chief Ministers’ conference internal security in Delhi, on June 05, 2013 Sushil Kumar Shinde had reportedly said: “Punjab militancy threat growing again. Sikh youths being trained by ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) facilities in Pakistan. Sikh youths in US, Europe are also being motivated in this regard”.

‘It is an annual ritual to issue a statement like this from one or the other quarter of the top echelons of the Union government, and this year, its timing to coincide with the anniversary of Indian army’s attack on Sri Darbar Sahib (Amritsar), should be seen in the context of coming elections in 2014. Shinde has given this statement even as there are no undercurrents of militancy in Punjab’, said S. Kanwarpal Singh Bittu, spokesperson of Dal Khalsa.

S. Kanwarpal Singh said that: ‘Wary of public anger on corruption and other issues the political masters of the country want to make the internal security and militancy as the main plank during the election’.

Akali Dal Panch Pardhani (ADPP) acting president Bhai Harpal Singh Cheema said: “[t]he government machinery is trying hard to push out the Sikh nationalists working in the democratic sphere and then use the bogey of militancy to its own advantage”. He said that repeated arrests of ADPP leaders on false charges under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) shows that the government has decided to close all democratic political space for the Sikh nationalist leadership.

Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) president S. Simranjit Singh Mann said that in order to target the Sikh nation, the Indian government has initiated a false proparanda about the revival of militancy in Punjab.

According to Times of India (TOI): “SGPC member of SAD (Badal) Kiranjot Kaur said while such statements come from the top, they should back it with some evidence otherwise it is just a rhetoric”.

“Apart from political establishment in Delhi the bogey of terrorism suits some people in the security set up also,” she reportedly said.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar said law and order situation in Punjab was normal and there was no imminent threat of any kind.

As per a TOI news report, spokesperson of Switzerland-based NGO Movement Against Atrocities and Repression H. S. Khalsa said that Shinde had made a statement immediately after Nawaz Sharif took over the charge of Pakistan, so it could be a tactics to pressurize Pakistan’s new government”.

It is notable that Pakistan has also ridiculed the statement of India’s home minister. Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesman Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry reportedly said: “Pakistan rejects those remarks accusing us and implicating one of our government agencies for fomenting terror in Indian Punjab”.

“Such a statement in our view is uncalled for and regrettable. We feel that making such statement has the potential of undermining the efforts made by both sides to normalise the relations between the two countries”, Chaudhry reportedly said.

    • 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.
