Statement by Former Senior SGPC Member on White House Response to Sikh Genocide Petition

AMRITSAR SAHIB—Long term ally of S. Gurcharan Singh Tohra (former SGPC President) and a senior SGPC member himself, Manjit Singh Calcutta has stated that the White House’ decision on the Sikh genocide petition “is gravely erroneous” and as it has only considered the dictionary meaning of the term ‘Genocide’ and a limited period of Sikh massacre in November, 1984.”

Statement by Calcutta comes after the White House openly condemned the Sikh massacre post 1984 in India, but refused to declare it a genocide.  He further alleged that the Sikh massacre in India is the “worst form of genocide”.  Bhai Manjit Singh’s strong words against the Indian Government also put a question in front of the White House as to why it has refrained to recognize such a vast scale massacre by the Indian Government?  Calcutta also appealed to Sikh organizations based in the US to take up this matter with the Obama Administration.

Calcutta stated that, “the Sikh genocide by the then Indian Government had twin purpose, it was not merely loss of life and economy but was against the separate Sikh religious identity. The State terrorism against the Sikhs was not one event but it continued for the entire period beginning early 80’s to 1995. During the period there was no rule of law and the police and paramilitary forces hunted for the turbaned Sikh youth especially in the rural areas of Punjab.”

“Thousands fake encounters took place, dead bodies of Sikh youth were thrown in rivers and canals or burnt at cremation ground declaring them falsely as unclaimed. The inhuman torture of thousands of Sikhs taken into illegal custody and thus the entire Punjab was terrified to the extent that an entire generation was lost to the Sikh Panth. The Sikh youth aged between 15-35 years were forced to abdicate the Sikh identity of uncut hair and turban. It’s fatal affect continues unabated till now in the form of apostasy. It is the worst form of genocide.”

  1. Long term ally of S. Gurcharan Singh Tohra (former SGPC President) and a senior SGPC member himself, Manjit Singh Calcutta has stated that the White House’ decision on the Sikh genocide petition “is gravely erroneous”: Manjit Singh Calcutta “You’re dead WRONG”.
    White House must blame Zail Singh, President of India, Gurcharan Singh Tohra (former SGPC President), Sant Harchand Singh Langowal, Surjit Singh Barnala, Parkash Singh Badal, Punjab Police IPS officers and Staff for Genocide not Government of India, Hindus or any other organization. Indian Government had no power to attack Sikhs or Sikh religion places, if the above stated Sikhs would have not consented with Indra Gandhi.
    Calcutta also appealed to Sikh organizations based in the US to take up this matter with the Obama Administration, to destroy growing life of Sikhs abroad and wants to earn disgrace for new Sikh generation as all SGPC organization has destroyed Punjab and its Sikhs. Now Punjab is the HUB of smuggling.
    I earnestly request to such THUGS (Jathedars) that let migrated Sikhs live peacefully and harmony, you should clean your own shit in Punjab that is piling up to your face.
    “Thousands fake encounters took place, dead bodies of Sikh youth were thrown in rivers and canals or burnt at cremation ground declaring them falsely as unclaimed. The inhuman torture of thousands of Sikhs taken into illegal custody: This was the action of our own Sikh brothers, family members not by outsiders. Please do not blame others for our own cruelty. Panth will not be lost but like you can contaminate to take advantage.
    If Manjit Singh Calcutta was well wisher of Sikhs or Sikh Panth, he would have listen to Sant Kartar Singh Ji Bhindrawale and open eyes of Sant Ji’s organized death in road accident, but not kept own mouth shut to prove loyalty to Gurcharan Singh Tohra. Jathedars are proving like “Kartoot Pashoo, Mansh Jaat” as Dirty Dogs do not bite at robbers but bark if you take chewing bone out of mouth.

      • Azad:
        “Somethingh is better than nothing, but nothing is better than non-sense” These type of thugs are on sale and could be instigator to destroy Sikh objectives as all Naxalites adopted fake AMRIT and result is well known to all. So called Amritdharies are sucking congregation funds for the last 30 years with control of Gurdwaras, false oaths, false and fabricated evidences (paper work)and contaminating Sikh religion, defaming Sikh image. Such type of bastards are leading and directing new Sikh generation to drug mafia.
