Continuous Sikh-Baiting

During the last ten or twelve years, these pseudo-nirankaris have merrily and continuously indulged in the game of Sikh-baiting and many times it has led to near-riots, obliging police authorities to intervene. On 3rd October, 1966, these pseudo-nirankaris, at Hansi, in Haryana, provoked the Hindu population into riotous protests leading to serious injuries to many persons and intervention of the police because young innocent girls were being taught sexual laxities of this sect.

At Hoshiarpur, at Ludhiana, at Pathankot, at Chowk Mehta, there have been riotous protests during the last few years against gross insults hurled by them at Sikhism and the Sikh community, but apart from dispersing and arresting outraged Sikhs, the Government authorities no where have taken any concrete steps to check and control this situation. Neither any prosecution of the offending pseudo-nirankaris has been launched nor preventive steps taken by specifying areas, under Section 10 (1) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, where such provocations to Sikh religious feelings shall become cognisable offences, authorising police authorities to intervene on the spot.

The agony of the Sikhs is no less intense than was that of the Muslims before Partition of India, but the Sikhs have no place outside India to migrate to or to regard it as their refuge, and the Sikhs have been softened and conditioned during the last fifty years to bear and put up with insults to their religion and all forms of other oppression, patiently and without demur, under the sinister preaching's and spell of the narcotic cult of non violence, much against the clear directives of their Gurus, their Prophets, not to turn the other cheek before a tyrant, not to take lying down any insult to their religion, their self-respect and their human dignity. The Sikh Gurus have bidden them to reply to the whip-crack of an oppressor with a thunder-bolt and not to die with a whimper but to "die fighting to the bitter end."

In Sikh history there are recorded half a dozen cases where the Sikh Gurus themselves and Sikhs afterwards, have deemed it as a question of life and death where deliberate and malicious insult or outrage to their religious susceptibilities and their human dignity was shown, irrespective of what the circumstances and what the consequences.

On the 13th April, 1978, at Amritsar, a peaceful batch of Sikh religious devotees, disciplined and of high social positions all of them, marched towards the gathering of the pseudo-nirankaris, their tormentors and traducers, to protect and plead, but they were stopped some two hundred yards away by the police on duty, till a para-military armed platoon of the Nirankari Seva Mandal, of which Gurbachan Singh, 'The Sustainer of the entire Universe' is himself the appointed Chief, arrived to murder a dozen and a half of them on the spot and to wound grievously about seventy more.
