Who needs enemies when we have "sikh" politicians?

Manmohan discuss India's 'terrorism issues' over a glass of champagne:

Manmohan on stage with Jagdish Tytler- one of the main orchestrators of the Anti-Sikh Pogroms in Delhi 1984:

Chief Minister of Punjab Amarinder Singh and Parkash Badal point fingers at each other while lining their pockets from helping destroy our Panth:

Amarinder and L.K. Advani:


While visiting India, George Bush is invited to tea with the Abdul Kalam. He asks kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is to surround himself with intelligent people.
Bush asks how he knows! if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the kalam. "Allow me To demonstrate." Bush watches as the kalam phones Manmohan Singh andsays, "Mr.Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir !." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Kalam. He hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Mr. President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to Washington, deci des he'd better put the Condoleeza Rice to the test. Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your! father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back To you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, Out nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.
"Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course." Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our ColinPowell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you Jackass, its Manmohan Singh!"

Message of Love

BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL:

Try to meditate, and contemplate the source of peace, and bliss will come to you. Chanting, and meditating on the Name of the Lord of the Universe, perfect understanding is achieved. 1 Meditating on the Lotus Feet of the Guru, and chanting the Name of the Lord, I live. Worshipping the Supreme Lord God in adoration, my mouth drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar. 1 Pause All beings and creatures dwell in peace; the minds of all yearn for the Lord. Those who continually remember the Lord, do good deeds for others; they harbor no ill will towards anyone. 2 Blessed is that place, and blessed are those who dwell there, where they chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord. The Sermon and the Kirtan of the Lords Praises are sung there very often; there is peace, poise and tranquility. 3 In my mind, I never forget the Lord; He is the Master of the masterless. Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of God; everything is in His hands. 4 29 59

'Police guilty' in Punjab killing

'Police guilty' in Punjab killing

By Asit Jolly BBC News, Chandigarh

Six policemen in the north Indian state of Punjab have been convicted of abducting and killing a leading human rights activist.

Jaswant Singh Khalra exposed what he said were widespread rights abuses and extrajudicial killings of Sikh separatists by police in the 1990s.

He disappeared after being abducted from his home in the city of Amritsar in September 1995.

Two policemen were jailed for life and four others for five years each.

Analysts said Friday's verdict was significant because it was the first acknowledgement that the Indian state had turned a blind eye to violations committed in the name of combating Sikh separatists.

Appeal considered

The court in Patiala convicted the men despite the fact the body of Khalra was never found.

Colleagues and prominent international human rights organisations had alleged that Khalra was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by police.

The investigation was handed over to the federal Central Bureau of Investigation following petitions from the missing activist's wife.

Two policemen were given life imprisonment on separate counts of murder, kidnapping and criminal conspiracy.

Four junior police personnel were sentenced to five years and fined 5,000 rupees ($110).

Two other accused policemen died during the course of the long trial.

Khalra's wife, Paramjit Kaur, welcomed the verdicts but said the trial had been "inordinately delayed" and the sentences were too lenient.

She said she would consult her lawyers before deciding on an appeal for stronger sentences.

She reiterated her demand that former Punjab police chief KPS Gill also be tried.
