Attacks In Gurdaspur: Still Ongoing

[KhoonKaBadlaKhoon]

They say attackers crossed in from Pakistan, now they're attacking a police station, so far 8 dead this may or may not include 1 attacker dead. Police have stated its too early to cross off a "pro khalistani" possibility. Of course there are multiple former Khalistanis residing in Pakistan, but I doubt any of them have any hand in this. Or even Sikhs in general. Although it is good the Punjab sarkar and police are suffering a bit, been a bad week for them.

Sikh militant groups demanded an independent homeland for minority Sikhs, called Khalistan.

In 1984 Indian security forces stormed the Golden Temple in Amritsar after it was occupied by Sikh militants under the command of a seminary student turned extremist, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Many hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed in the assault, including Bhindranwale as well as Sikh and Hindu pilgrims caught in the crossfire, and the complex was badly damaged. The assault led to the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the then prime minister, by her Sikh bodyguards.

One Delhi-based security expert said Sikh extremists were prime suspects in the police station siege.

“This is probably linked to the movement of the 1990s, these are the Khalistanis who have done this. The remnants of that movement are still being hosted and protected in Pakistan. That is who I assume would be behind it eventually. Directions would have come from there,” said Ajai Sahni, executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management.

The Indians learned well from the Brits. Divide and rule. Every one of the military or police personnel in this article is a Sikh.

First the British, now the Indians. When will we Sikhs stop doing the dirty-work of nations who bleed us dry, and start fighting for the advancement of our own instead? Any son of a sardar serving in the same army which butchered his people not three decades past should be ashamed of himself.

I bet u this is all a false flag operation, and this is done to distract the panjab frm bapu surat singhs situation. Which had in past week started to pick up momentum despite a media blackout...yet this "attack" happens in the morning n immediately is broadcast to whole world. Sadly it does look like 6 innocent panjabis have been killed in this "terrorist attack", panjab superintendent baljit singh has been killed apprntly.

For indian media to even think of mentionin khalistanis in this shows its to defame sikhs, when clearly if any1 wud do this, it wud be pak militants.

Jus watchin crappy ndtv, after the end of the "operation", panjab swat team r shoutin sikh jaikaray and "panjab police ki jai", haaaaa, this is like comedy, sweardown!

Its a false flag. It diverts your attention from Babu Ji onto this. Western world does it all the time. Do not be fooled, it will be blamed on Sikhs 'terrorists'

[MisterrSingh]

I'm not saying false flags don't happen, but let's not fall into the Muslim trap of decrying any terrorist attack that has Islamist paws all over it as, "False flag! Mossad! CIA!" That kind of paranoid mentality is not the kind of thing we want to import from the Muslims. It completely absolves genuine wrong-doers of culpability when we close our eyes and ears to the facts.

Its <banned word filter activated>, confirmed by Indian news channels.

Hope these incidents do not become common in our Punjab, we had been spared till now from this India-Muslim conflict.

I find it quite strange that the India/Pakistan punjab border is one of the most fortified borders with thousands of troops.

How do Pakistani militants manage to infiltrate, particularly with Gurdaspur being only 10 miles from the border?

this article cracked me up quite a bit. someone needs to do a similar article talking about how many civilian lives were lost under the various government-sponsored operations.

overall, i think this incident will recirculate pre-exisiting misconceptions in the media about the sikh freedom movement and punjab's past. quite a shame.

Rivers. They are not always checked especially flood season.
