Encouraged by the success of a week long Sikh Freedom March and Genocide Remembrance March, the Dal Khalsa has resolved to undertake another 3-day procession to reach out to the masses focusing on Sikh Nationalism. This was announced to the media at Jalandhar in a press conference addressed by Harcharanjit Singh Dhami, Jaspal Singh Dhillon and Kanwar Pal Singh jointly. The proposed march will start from Akal Takht Sahib after performing prayer (Ardas) on March 12 and will culminate at Anandpur Sahib on the eve of Holla Mohalla (March 14). On 13th there will be a conference at Fatehgarh Sahib on the issue of Sikh Nationhood.

Around 400 active members of the organization will be part of the long procession. The march will move from Amritsar to Anandpur Sahib touching major cities including Jalandhar, Phagwara, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Fatehgarh Sahib, Morinda and Ropar. Dal Khalsa feels the ideological decline in Sikh polity has deviated the young generation from offering selfless services towards the common cause of the Sikh Panth. “We are at a critical time in the history and find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect. We face a ruthless and crafty enemy intent on destroying our culture and identity”.

Dal Khalsa intents to focus on character building of youth and imbibing Sikhi spirit in them. The struggle may well be fought on dozens of fronts and for many years to come. As this could be an election year, we had realized that the need of the hour is to raise the level of awareness amongst Sikhs masses to stop their exploitation by mainstream political parties especially SAD-BJP and the Congress.

“This step of ours is a noble way to reach out to the masses to educate them on the misdeeds of politicians, functioning of the SGPC, DSGMC and degradation of moral values in Sikh society”.



We ridicule the justice system of the country that has failed to take suo motto notice of the DGP’s candid admission for raising counter insurgents (likes of Sukhi) to carry out extra-judicial killings. Mr. Virk’s statement was just a tip of the iceberg. There were hundreds of likes of Sukhvinder Singh Sukhi who were patronized by the state to “neutralize” those Sikh youth who picked up arms to avenge the desecration of Darbar Sahib in 1984. “These police cats indulged in lootings, kidnappings and senseless killings not only to defame the Sikh struggle but sometimes to serve the vested interests of their immediate bosses”. It is mind-blowing to hear from the mouth of the DGP that there were 300 counter-insurgents who had killed people in large number but were living a lavish lives under assumed names just because they had helped police in combating militancy.

Captain Amrinder Singh has shamefully recommended another two-year extension for Mr. Virk. Instead of singing praises in favour of Mr. Virk, he should have immediately removed him for violating the law of the land. Also Parkash Singh Badal has failed to curb the menace of “cat culture” during his five-year stint as chief minister of the state. Will Harcharan Brar, Bibi Bhattal, Badal and now Amrinder Singh explain to people of the state how could police be above the judiciary? We have strong feeling that all chief ministers were hand in glove with police for all what went wrong. We don’t think the long and strong arms of the law would caught hold of those policemen sitting on high posts who had played havoc with the lives of Sikhs. “This is surely the case to be raised at international forums including the United Nations. We would shortly prepare a document to apprise the western world about the dismal plight of the Sikhs in India”.

On the issue of Vishav Sikh Samelan being organized by Damdami Taksal on Feb 26, our organization will not participate in it. The function has already been mired with controversies; hence it would not leave any positive impact on the Sikh masses. Contrary to Sikh Samelan, it will ultimate end up as ‘Sant Samelan’, as is evident from publicity material of the organizers. WE don’t want to share the stage with Sant Samaj, because as per Sikh principles there was no room for separate samaj within the Sikh society. However, Damdami Taksal still commands respects within a section of Sikhs because of its contribution towards Sikh struggle in 80’s. “We are disturbed to note that Taksal was fast loosing its charisma because of indecisive decisions and ineffective leadership.

Others who were present during the press conference were Dr. Manjinder Singh, Sarbjit Singh Ghuman and Gurdeep Singh Kalkat.
