Two killed, scores injured during protests by Sikhs in India's Faridkot
127
FARIDKOT: At least two people were killed and over 100 people, including cops, injured during clashes between Sikh community protestors and police over an alleged incident of desecration in Faridkot district of Indian Punjab, according to reports published on The Hindu and the Hindustan Times websites.
Sikhs belonging to Faridkot and its adjacent Moga district in Indian Punjab have been holding protests for past two days after more than 100 torn up pages from Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book were found near a gurdwara in Bargari village of the district on Monday.
The holy book was reportedly stolen from the Gurdwara in June.
Two people were killed in violent clashes between the police and protesters at Vaibhal Kalan village, 10 kilometres from Kotkapura, the biggest city of district.
Police used batons and water cannons to disperse the protestors. Meanwhile, Bathinda's Inspector General of Police was also wounded during the clashes.
The police said they had arrested Sikh leaders including Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadriyan Wale, Bhai Amrik Singh Ajnala, Panth Preet Singh, Jaskaran Singh Kahan Singh Wala and members of the Parmeshar Dwar Trust, Nirvair Khalsa Jatha and Ek Noor Khalsa Fauj.
Meanwhile, around 75 members of the Sikh community were also arrested in Ludhiana over fears that they could block roads, police said.
On Tuesday, a violent clash between the police and protesters at Buttar Kalan village in Moga district also left 19 people injured. Nearly 200 protestors belonging to the Sikh community were also arrested by policemen, who were later released.
Indian Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his deputy Sukhbir Singh Badal appealed to the people to remain peaceful while heavy police force has been deployed in the district to avoid any untoward incident.
The CM assured people that those found guilty of sacrilege would not be spared.

Not a single person was prosecuted in the 1984 Sikh massacre where about 2000 Sikhs were killed on attack at golden temple and even a greater number of Sikhs were killed in riots following the subsequent murder of Indira Gandhi. Many culprits enjoyed ministerial posts, even today they sits in top positions who perpetrated these ghastly acts.

This could have been easily avoided but its due to politics. Sikhs protesting the peacefully when police charged on them. Sikhs cant even protest peacefully, I don't know what kind of democracy is in Punjab. Current CM is appeaser of RSS and BJP. I will throw a party when he will die.

Regardless of my opposition and disagreement with the neighbouring govt and its policies. the loss of human lives is regrettable.

Two Sikhs shot dead many injured when police fired like in jallianwala bagh in 1919. Peaceful protest is encountered with bullets. Peaceful protests will not stop this time , Khalsa will show his "Sabar against Jabari" and will defeat the cruel fascist regime. We are getting light from our history of Guru Arjan Dev ji , Guru Teg Bahadur ji, Guru Ka Bagh Morcha, Nankana Sahib morcha.

@A common Pakistani,
So I will stick to the point as well. Since you say you are pained by suffering of 'Kashmiris' then I think you should be open to allowing Kashmiris instant Pakistani citizenship. That should alleviate their suffering shouldn't it?

@A common Pakistani : sir, please remember Kashmir annexed with India based on the agreement between the leaders in Delhi and Kashmir. Kashmir is integral part of India and will remain so in future.

@Harisingh Suppression is suppression, it is visible through media which we keep seeing from Kashmir, would you deny that? You would be a top hypocrite if you do so. About citizenship, let Kashmiri decide what they want to do with themselves. You people really don't have any willingness to initiate a constructive dialog because it is not what India wants to do. It is simple as that.

@Vijay The occupied Kashmir is neither yours nor Pakistanis. It is Kashmir.

Whether these Indians like or not, there will come a time when it will be immaterial if they had usa or Europe or any developed country at their sides to defend their right to own Kashmir, Kashmir is an unresolved issue and nature will find a solution for it. Who knows maybe India will dissolve itself in saving Kashmir for them

@Gireesh V No you are wrong, India has been moving from secularism to a fanatical Hindu state for the last few decades and 90% of Sikhs are not at all proud of India and they do support Khalistan.

Dear Indians,
I am very upset for the last few days that my religious book are being disgraced in India.
We all need to be united (Hindus, Buddists, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs) against these evil acts.
I humbly request all the Indians to stand and support for each other, as all religions teaches respect for others.
My appeal to the Indian Govt is to punish the guilty of sacrilege and should not be spared.
The Indians image is getting worsed day by day with these incidents and it is very disturbing for all of us.

I love the conclusion that Pakistanis come to. Does anyone even know who committed this act. Perhaps it was a Muslim, perhaps a Sikh, a Hindu, a mentally troubled person? Sikhs are proud Indians and I am a Sikh.

Why has this tragic incident become such a hot issue about Modi and a separate country for Sikhs? And we Pakistanis have also got a lot of advice for our friends in India.
Don't we have enough problems of our own? But thank God they are less and less now because our Army is involved.

Let this be a lesson to India(and to Pakistan).This is what happens when you elected religious fundamentalists or apologists.Its interesting how even though Pakistan is 98% muslim it has never elected any major Islamic party cant say the same about India.
