The Tarn Taran blast has again underlined the continuing vulnerability of the state to radical violence by a microscopic minority of pro-Khalistani supporters. The minority Khalistani elements, safely tucked away in ISI havens and in far off countries in the Americas and Europe, want Sikh blood to flow to inflate their egos and feed their sense of self-importance. After 15 years of relentless bloodletting, Punjab saw the defeat of the Khalistani movement in 1993. However, continuing attempts by these elements, who have been insulated from the ground realties of Punjab, are yet to accept that the people of Punjab have rejected their murderous ways. We are not willing to pay with our flesh and blood for their twisted ideology.
The vitriolic Canada and US based Khalistani’s as well as Pakistan supported Khalistani elements risk nothing. They have no roots here. They won't lose a family member to acts of violence. All they would do is tweet a megabyte of nonsensical comments, in the safety of their well-insulated homes. The overseas Khalistani elements are today exploiting our vulnerability and our faith. These Overseas-based dance monkeys of the ISI offer funding to conduct violence and do sacrilegious acts to disrupt communal harmony in Punjab. Some Sikhs, who would otherwise be ready to earn from a honest day’s work, fall prey to these sacrilegious scammers and end up having to pay with long spells in jails. We also have to remember that, no matter what our real or perceived grievances are, taking another humans life can never be justified. As true Sikhs we have to remind ourselves that we have to be the voice of Sikhism and not like those braying with blood lust.
Let us remind ourselves that those channelling weapons and drugs into our state have only one aim in mind – elimination of the Sikh community, which is a principal beam of support for India. They want to drag Punjab into a continuing vortex of violence which will drown our people in blood. What the Pakistanis want is a mirror image of themselves in their neighbourhood and the first step for them is to see us killing each other like they have been doing for the past over 70 years.
