5. Members well recognize that the RSS operating with the Brahmnical doctrine of “Hinduvta” has definite plans of suppression of Sikhs and and other Minorities in India.
Sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or any holy scriptures is a most heinous crime. Parkash SinghBadal as state Chief minister partner of BJP/RSS and Sumedh Saini, the then DGP are directly responsible for this and cold blood murder of peacefully protesting Sikhs as per findings of Justice Ranjit Singh report. Punjab/Indian government should immediately arrest and punish them without any further delay.
6. Panthik leaders running the Bargari morcha should invite and embrace all Farmers, Shiklighar, Backward/Scheduled casts/tribes, down trodden classes and all minorities including Christians, Muslims, Jains and Buddhists to Bargari because Guru Granth Sahib is common heritage of the entire mankind.
Indian authorities should stop torturous, cruel and inhuman treatment of Sikh Political Prisoners and immediately release all who have completed their prison sentences including Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara Jathedar Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, the spiritual leader of 30 millions Sikhs.
The World Sikh Parliament (WSP) is established to represent, at national and international levels, the interests of the Sikh Nation, Sikh communities and Sikh organizations around the world, irrespective of their of cultural, linguistic and social background. The WSP will deploy whatever resources needed to promote the social, religious, political, linguistic, human and environmental rights of Sikhs across the world and to promote Sikh empowerment and SikhSovereignty.
