@CChristineFair Bhindranwale would not had needed to emerge had Punjab been give a fair opportunity to negotiate for its riparian, economic and language rights. If you want a causal chain you can’t just pick and choose.
@AlertSoul@sarbjitkaur1 With all due respect - arbitrary arrest and detention, totally excessive use of force, censorship journalist is not all well and good. If you fail to protect basic rights today you have given up much greater for tomorrow. I thought we had learnt this lesson already.
@as_kapoor Has any perpetrator of 1984 Sikh Genocide faced justice? Then how are you enjoying full civility - you are complacent in your own subjugation.
Sidhu Moose Wala's mother, speaking at his barsi, states that Sikhs are still living under slavery. On one hand we have gangster freely bragging about killing people and on the other we have Amritpal Singh, who has promoted Amrit and fighting drugs, being targeted she says.
At its heart, what's going on in Punjab is an attack on the revolutionary Sikh Spirit.
So connecting to Sikhi will be our greatest act of resistance.
From that, all else will spring.
A growing list of Sikh & Punjabi journalist social media accounts are being withheld in India, alongside those belonging to Sikh civil liberty NGOs.
The flow of information is being drastically stifled as reports of widespread arrests and deteriorating civil rights rock Punjab.
@officeofssbadal The reason we are here today is because of an absolute devoid of leadership that’s starts with you and your corrupt family - SAD in power did nothing to advance Sikh panth or combat drug trade. That’s your legacy.
Pray for #PunjabBachao
Habeas corpus filed in Punjab and Haryana high court demanding Amritpal be produced. Petition filed in Punjab & Hry High Court.
Where is #Amritpal#AmritpalSingh , operation have been failed or was just a political stunt @ArvindKejriwal@BhagwantMann
We will always speak up for Panjab !!! We will always speak up for the youth of Panjab who have so much love for Sikhi and Panjab
We have tolerated injustice for far too long !!
Speaking up for human rights and injustice isn’t a crime nor is it a crime to be a #Sikh !
Sadly nothing's changed since 1984 except the power of the people to garner more visibility. The mainstream media may not cover Punjab but we will, from around the world.
Current situation in Punjab:
- mass arrests of Sikh activists
- internet blackout
- text capabilities suspended
- widespread censorship
This is the sign of an authoritarian government. This is not a democracy.
@UnSubtleDesi Wow just showed your level of intelligence and ability - free thinking people have a right to express their opinion. We are not sheep like you
#SidhuMooseWala father asks Govt why they had chosen this day to arrest #AmritpalSingh . Roads are closed & Internet is shut down they are trying to suppress my voice like this. Further, He said our net is off & #LawrenceBishnoi IV done from Jail.
