:dateline:This past week on Wednesday, Sikh Sangat from all over California took part in a demonstration against the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.� Hundreds marched outside the consulate office to demand justice for Prof. Bhullar and seek his release.� Buses arrived from Fremont, Fresno, Modesto and Turlock.� The demonstration was organized by joint efforts of Sikh organizations with the Sikh Student Federation Berkeley playing a key role.

Protest started around 12 PM and continued until around 4 PM.� Speeches by Sikh youth from UC Berkeley and Davis were particularly inspiring.

Several non-Sikhs, including members of the Hindu community were also seen at the protest expressing solidarity with Prof. Bhullar.

To the most part, the demonstration was well organized but a few speakers disappointed the�protesters�with their dated and rehearsed script of condemning Hindus for carnage of the Sikhs.� This was despite the fact that organizers had warned all speakers to refrain from side-lining a particular community since the Sikhs are fighting against injustice, not any particular community.
