  1. It is tragic that this SAD Govt won the election as a Panthak Party. But then to get some ministership for their family members in Delhi, this SAD is sold out to RSS/BJP/Arya- smaajees and have been actually working against the Sikh panth under RSS direction. Only solution left is that party as well as Congress should be defeated in 2017 elections. The problems faced by Sikh world and the Punjab in particular can be solved only politically, not by arms as we have seen in eightees. ActIvate the Sikh masses politically and acquire political power first as rightly suggested by our noted sikh historian Dr. Gurdarshan Singh jee Dhillon and other Sikh thinkers. Sikhs have been suffering injustice because all the political parties governing Punjab so far were not sincere and honest. AAP party has come up on the platform of honesty which has been lagging so far. They have shown in Delhi by winning election exemplary and also by delivering good governance against all odds. Their volunteers are all educated and thinkers. Therefore the present political atmosphere in Punjab is favourable to AAP and if AAP do not deviate from the path of honesty then all the problems faced by the sikhs could be solved satisfactorily but the sikhs manning the AAP party in Punjab should also be sincere and honest and not like Bhekhu sikhs of Kali Badal and Congress. It is perfect timing that all committed Khalsa panth should join AAP, lead this party and take control of power in Punjab to solve all the pending problems. Mr. Arvind Kejriwal is not a gursikh and he may not have felt the sufferings of the sikh masses but he is an honest person which is only the requirement for our cause. Therefore the platform of AAP has to be utilised by the committed Gurkhalsa Panth to serve their purpose. Chardee Kalaa, Raaj karega Khalsa Aaki rahe na koye

  2. BADAL GOVERNMENT – yes lock up the reporters in the hope that your crimes cannot be seen by the world – wake up media cannot be blocked but you can try!
