Spotting Khalistan from North America

Hindustan Times  

Khalistan is not — and never was — a credible movement or a demand of the Sikh community. But after the Congress Working Committee conceded the Muslim League’s demand for Partition on March 8, 1947, the Sikh leadership rejected Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s offer of an “autonomous region” for Sikhs within Pakistan and opted for India. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who heads Sikhs For Justice, a separatist organisation that has been holding a Khalistan “referendum” is also an immigration lawyer by profession. They should have learned from their previous generation: For example, Jagjit Singh Chauhan, who was once conferred the title “Father of the Sikh Nation” by the then president of Pakistan, Yahya Khan, returned to India in 2001 and publicly declared that “all they have given Sikhs is less than gobar ”. Nevertheless, radical elements and a few human rights activists endorse the charge and recall how militancy in Punjab was eradicated by the Centre adopting a strategy of “fake encounters”, that several police officers have been convicted by courts on such grounds, three of them sentenced to life on September 23 for the “fake encounter deaths” of three youths in 1992.
