Badal is up to repeating the Modi in Punjab.Make no mistake,BJP is the partner which can go any extent to polarise India for electoral gains.Now citizens will have to be on mercy of fundamentlists who believes akal takht is above Indian constitution and they follow the dictate of Takht not the law. Question is how a sick who keeps Indian constitution after Akal takht can head the state. Badal is behind all this because he is to be termed in corruption charges. He has done it before he is doing it again,he will burn punjab with support of BJP.

Please do not try to give the whole issue a different flavour by comparing it with Modi's Gujarat. In Gujarat Muslims had given no provocation instead it was the hindus who had destroyed the Babri Masjid and thus sowed the seeds of discontent, the consequences of which was Bombay Blast. If you think Akal Takht is wrong then what do you think of Karunanidhi's acts in Tamil Nadu. He not only condoned the goonda acts of his son's supportor who roasted 3 persons alive, but had a minister removed form cabinet post. You people are hasty in judging actions of Sikhs but conveniently forget your own acts.....

BLP claimed that it was the reaction of Godhra,as per them it was after provocation.Karunanidhi mob attack was the family affair,One member attacking another member of family, PUblic at large was not offended. The death of three will definately come up at some stage and Karunanidhi was draged at mid night from his house once,willhave to face the law agin.Babri musjid issue was opposed by most of the Hindu,s inspit of hindu religious leaders only and BJP argued in favour. Here a fatwa of Akal takht is blindly supported by sikh community why not the sikh intlect oppose the fatwa. People agree with sikh sentiments but sentiments of an Indian is against Fatwa.

Please understand that though the Sikhs might appear to be Reacting too much, but it would have been called extremism if we had tried to stop deras or gurmeet ram rahim's preachings earlier. NOONE did that. SGPC is a representative body of all sikhs. You should appreciate that in there earlier decision 15-20 days back they had ONLY asked for and apology and nothing more. And asking somebody to apologise for a mistake is not a matter of going to the court. (If for example, any of my comments or deeds hurt you, you will directly ask me to apologise and not go to the sourt for the same). Yes, the decisions like closing Deras etc. appear to be harsh, but that kind of Hard approach is the only solution left, when a person does not accept his mistakes. Because he will continue to make similar mistakes in future and through his deras will keep sending distorted and wrong messages and preaching to common man.

If all the sikhs are talking like you in a moderate way and not like Paramjit Kaur, this problem would have been solved many days ago. Yes are right - asking for an apology for supposedly offending the religious sentiments is not to be treated as fundamentalistic but unfortunately there are more Paramjit Kaurs and fewer Virendra Singhs in Punjab

Paramjit kaur who built babri and why was it there?When you go down the history lane then do it completely? Why were Kashmiri Hindus killed and driven off the Kashmir valley????That was before even Babri demolition??Why do you want to see only one side???? Why were Hindu families killed during Sikh militancy in Punjab?????Why did Sikh militancy start in Punjab?????

The incidents I mentioned are all recent ones, Mr Aalsi. And that too because of someone equating it with another state. You obviously are in a militant mood. Otherwise you would have realised that the Sikh militancy was stopped by a Sikh police officer and many innocent young sikh boys were killed in the bargain. We are totally against injustice but I cannot say the same about you.

Well, well,well.Can't take an arguement????Ok alright..You are the best and i am not.But since you did want to cite examples,I just gave you a taste of your own medicine. The skkh boys were killed by sikh militants only and not by any cult/religion.But the whole thing started with call for K....Tan.Isn't it? Please then why have a "Holier than thou attitude".When at the very onset you are biased enough to put other religions(like hinduism) down. The Dera leader did not tender apology and regreted the incident.Right????Now the Akalis,instead of re-affirming their demand for the apology,went a step ahead and started calling for Deras to be closed.Who are these Akalis????Supreme court of India?????Why don't they stick with their religion only?????Tomorrow they will again start calling for driving out Hindus from Punjab,like they did in 1980s. By Akalis,I do not mean ordinary sikhs.

I'm amazed to see how foolish we are in comparing two scoundrels.... Lets stop this.. Whatever happens it is the common man who suffers and these politicians make money..We had seen Punjab burning for 10 years.. lets not repeat it or let these politicians repeat it.... It is not about hindus , Sikhs or Muslims.. It is about our India/Punjab..
be it the Akla Takht or VHP.. they are no different than the Taliban, given an option they wold force the same laws what Taliban had done in Afghanistan.. Lets us all raise above the cate/religion boundriesn get rid of the pundits, maulvis, granthis and put our effort to resore peace

Om-the name of God and what non-sense you are talking. For your name sake do not compare Badal and Modi. Punjab bandh on 22 May was peaceful. If you call our's (sikh) aim to prevent the country from divide and rule, prevent bloodshed and this according to you if fundamentalism, Yes, then I accept that we are fundamentalist. He is diverting people from different sects to fulfil his political aim and play in the hands of politics. Akal Takht is the Takht of God and Nobody is above God.

dear friend these kind of comments are not suited for educated people like us. Om is just giving his opinion by looking at a different perspective which is not right here, but Let us please avoid, such language for anybody.
