Dal Khalsa conference resolves to regain independent and sovereign Punjab

AMRITSAR : Strengthening its resolve to regain independent and sovereign Punjab, the Dal Khalsa said the people of Punjab in general and Sikhs in particular can’t afford to let another 50 years to go by.
Marking the 50 years of formation of Punjab, the Sikh hardliner group organized a conference at village Pheruman dedicated to a Sikh martyr Darshan Singh Pheruman to highlight the misrule of the Union and state governments and suffering of Punjab through the acts of omission and commission of the Delhi rulers.  The organization stated that Sikhs were racially, socially, religiously, ideologically and culturally different from Indians. It further says that Sikhs can only be free if Punjab is free from Indian hegemony. The organization reiterated its principled stand of staying away from elections under Indian dispensation. The Five Sikhs on behalf of the organizers honored family members of Shaheed Pheruman with a shawl and Siropa.  Addressing the massive gathering at village Pheruman, party head Harpal Singh Cheema said after facing hardships and offering sacrifices the Punjab was reorganized but not before clever gerrymandering by the Indian state through the Punjab State Re-organisation Act, 1966 that snatched Punjabi speaking land, water resources, headwork’s, the capital city Chandigarh and much more from Punjab.
