“The brutal attack of the Indian Army on Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sri Amritsar in June 84 and the ‘Sikh Genocide’ in November-1984”

The brutal attack of the Indian Army on Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sri Amritsar in June 84 and The -Sikh Genocide- in November-1984.jpg
Highlights:
Nobody can ever justify as to what Indira Gandhi did during the brutal attack of the Indian Army on Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sri Amritsar in June 84 and as what Rajiv Gandhi did and said at the time of ‘Sikh Genocide’ in November-1984.
The Sikh massacre-Genocide-November 1984: “Under the umbrella of police and government machinery, this big shameful incident happened to the Sikhs of independent India after the brutal attack of the Indian Army on Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sri Amritsar in June 84”.
The two convicts who were sentenced for the brutal killing of four members of a Sikh family, had their sentences reduced by the court saying;
"They had no personal enmity, rather this was done by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi." It has been done blindly in a murderous rage.”
But the Sikhs who killed General Vaidya and Indira Gandhi in anger of the attack on Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht by the Indian Army promptly hanged them. 
The majority government of India knows that the more they kill the Sikhs, the more their vote bank increases among the Hindus. Therefore, it is the religious and political compulsion of the Hindu leaders to always create an excuse to beat the Sikhs. This is also the reason for the increase in oppression of minorities in India.  
There is a lack of leadership for the protection of the minorities in this country because it is through the agencies of India that such leadership is raised from among the minorities who are ready to act under the subservience and patronage of the leaders from the majority.
And not being accountable to own people-community in any way. In the people of India, through agencies, the leadership of the minorities in this way, by showing them only visionary leaders and is a very undemocratic method, from which there is no hope of getting rid of in the future.
Statements of some important persons who appeared before the Nanavati Commission:
Sardar Patwant Singh is a famous writer and environmental expert and Lt. General J.S. Arora asked the President of India Jail Singh to stop the violence against the Sikhs, the President replied that I have no right to interfere when these dignitaries insisted that you tell Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. So Jail Singh said that I will do this work for 3-4 days.
The wording may be different, but it has come to light that when Rajiv Gandhi arrived in New Delhi from Calcutta on 31 October 1984, he said softly in the ear of one of his senior officers, "Yes, we must teach them (the Sikhs) a lesson." This is what that officer said to journalist Siam Khosla and former minister K. L. Told Miani.
It is being advised that even today, if 20 Congressmen of Delhi were arrested and interrogated with modern methods during that November incident in 1984.
If you go, the truth may come out. How can the Congress Party, when it has its own government at the Centre, conduct investigations against its own people with these sophisticated methods? This work was done by the opposition government which was at the center from 1989 to 1991 and again from 1996 to 2004 but those who now say that they know the truth.
Whichever party takes over the state, it is doing the work of disrespecting the 'Rule of Law': “That is why the Honorable Supreme Court Chief Justice Ramesh Chandra Lahoti, who is leaving the post, said that, "It seems difficult to make a law to prevent political crime in India and it is almost certain that the criminalization of politics cannot be stopped by making a law."  
They had done this work by putting the commission on their necks and intimidation, and in this way, whichever party takes over the state, it is doing the work of disrespecting the 'Rule of Law'. That is why the Honorable Supreme Court Chief Justice Ramesh Chandra Lahoti, who is leaving the post, said that, "It seems difficult to make a law to prevent political crime in India and it is almost certain that the criminalization of politics cannot be stopped by making a law."

Will the Cultural Cover Ever Be Uncovered Or Exposed? By Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhianahttps://pdf.defence.pk/threads/will-the-cultural-cover-ever-be-uncovered-or-exposed-by-balbir-singh-sooch-advocate.48838/
However, I could get an answer as why and where, I failed unbendingly in the eye of the system. I am proud of that the failure is not on the part of legal awareness and of conscientiousness and or religious in any manner. 
As to why Prof. Harinder Singh Mehboob, renowned Punjabi Shiromani Sahitkaar, noted litterateur and Sahitya Academy Award winner was being criticized till to day? The answer was obvious, for and because of his act of cultural uncover, a few lines of his poetry ‘Murder of sleeps and a wonderful act of Martyr’ i.e. ‘Neendan  Da Qatal and Shaheed Da Gajab’ in his book, ‘Jhanan Di Raat’ at page 826 to 828 and he was not suitably remembered and comparatively glorified for his work on his death.
The operative part of the poem, ‘Murder of sleeps and a wonderful act of Martyr’ is being produced in English for ready reference as under: The poem, what a wonderful example of exposure of the Indian cultural cover?
“Murder of sleeps  and A wonderful act of Martyr”
“Murder of sleeps and A wonderful act of Martyr”
Listen! Oh cruel witch! ...The Nation of the Martyr*
Slept after offering prayers at the door of Guru!
Then, a witch snake or cobra** stealthily sneaked in, thirsty to suck  blood,
The hands of Beant with firmness of mind
O woman with wicked sons, listen. You have killed the innocent children of my Qaum in their sleep.
But Jarnail who is an old guard of the Guru’s house, is riding the almighty Time and such a rider is never defeated. Listen, 0 heartless and cruel Witch!
The wrath of Beant will finish you like an insect and having demolished the gates of your kingdom, will push you in the darkness of Hell...
The woman like a female witch snake or cobra surrounded the Harmandir and Fate burnt the bread of the pious fakirs.
Then, an arrow shot by Beant came to destroy the poison of the wily witch who slept in the hearts of idol-worshipperThe innocent babies eaten away in asleep
Listen! Oh cruel witch! ...
The Foot notes to the poem:
*Martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev
** A witch snake or cobra, known for killing its victims in sleep by sucking in their breath in imaginary stories.
Mehboob was given the Government’s prestigious Sahitya Akademi award for 1991 for his anthology entitled ‘Jhanan Di Raat’, which contains the long poem vilifying Indira Gandhi as a “witch snake or cobra**” and hailing her assassin Beant Singh as a martyr. It also makes communal references to “idol-worshippers”.
Was it not an act of uncover and exposure of the cultural cover and should be honored by all in the interest of justice and the transparency?
It is already said that sources disclose that eminent poet Amrita Pritam, convener of the three member jury, was instrumental in Mehboob getting the award. Her one sentence report, described the book as “a beautiful happening in Punjabi literature” which explores “the agony and ecstasy of life”. The other members of the jury, Prof Amrik Singh and Dr Jasbir Singh Ahluwalia, did not find the book to be of high literary standard.
Hindi poet and critic Vishnu Khare said "The poem is definitely communal, it almost deifies violence and is certainly offensive to a large number of Indians The Sahitya Akademi must express regret and see that its jury members read all books most carefully."
Hindu writer Krishna Sobti described the Poem as “deeply disturbing.” She said it was “simply outrageous” that an assassin of the Prime Minister of India should be elevated to the status of a martyr in the line of Guru Arjan Dev.
Prof. Harbhajan Singh too found the book good, but agreed that the last poem was inflammatory and communal “It would have been better if this book was not given the Sahitya Akademi award,” he said.
When the question like this, “The final question is: what will the Sahitya Akademi and its parent Ministry do now to rectify the lapse, and to prevent a recurrence in future?”, being posed, whether the cultural cover ever will be uncovered or exposed to bring the transparency and accountability in the system?
Was the demand to uncover and expose the cultural cover and the cry for justice in favor of the transparency and accountability, does it amount to revolt against the State and or the lawlessness? 
1. In case, the international community concludes so on the ground that it was the acceptable world phenomena, and there can never be any remedy except the whistle-blowers including me to surrender under protest grudgingly. But, I wish to pose the following questions to have answers in the larger interest to test the transparency and accountability in the context in Indian system:
2. Can the information under the Act, be provided as to how many Sikhs arrested meaning thereby taken into custody, captured, detained, caught, taken in for questioning, picked up etc and or how many sent abroad and now on the ‘black list’, and or arrested to arm them as terrorists and cats, and or how many surrendered meaning thereby: laid down their arms, admitted defeat, submitted, yielded, given in, gave up etc after the Army attack 1984 till today?
3. The details of the Sikhs and others who were picked up spontaneously, unplanned manner surprisingly and later on killed, eliminated, liquidated, shown disappeared etc all including the given categories as stated by former DGP K.P.S. GILL after the period stated above? See reference below.
4. As to why a 'Constitutional Commission' did not set up for facing justice on the demand of former DGP K.P.S. GILL?
5. Could the detailed identity of the main accused (Rajiv Gandhi) stands killed by a ‘Human Bomb’, the other co-accused, who remained the part and parcel of the then entire government machinery, responsible for the `genocide of Sikhs' or the `State-Sponsored Violence' against Sikhs not be disclosed being a matter of record as the accused were on duty on all the three days of Sikh Massacre-196. Why only the government always form or remain in search of some committee, team, the individuals as its henchmen, when the crime(s) committed by the state machinery become so open, to insist only to accept the adequate compensation and start pressurizing the victims families to accept the same and no guilty punished except playing political dramas like the cases of H.K.L. Bhagat, Jagdish Tytler and now case of Sajjan Kumar etc”? http://www.sikhvicharmanch.com/Personalities-Writers%20honoured%20at%20Punjabi%20Mela.htm
