The Tribune dated 17th September 2023

Comments by Simranjit Singh Mann: Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that this is an over-reaction of the Hindu Indian state to the democratic polices of the Canada.

If the majoritarians want Bharat then they should accept Khalistan for the Sikhs.

After all this will be fair and it will lead to better relations between the two nationalities.

Yesterday, at the All Party Meeting of Members of Parliament I did mention that it is unwise to spoil the Hindu states relations with Canada.

At this meeting I also mentioned that there had been political assassinations of Sikh politicians in Canada where Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Ripudaman Singh Malik had been shot dead. In UK Avtar Singh Khanda had been poison to death. In Pakistan Paramjit Singh Panjwar had been shot dead. In Haryana Deep Singh Sidhu had been killed and Subhdeep Singh Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in the Punjab. I also added that all entities of the state are responsible and accountable to the Parliament, which is supreme. However, I went on to say that the office of the National Security Advisor, the Chief’s of the Intelligence Services, R&AW, IB, Military Intelligence were not responsible and accountable to the Parliament. They also had vast secret service funds which were not audited. I emphasised that these security agencies must be made responsible and accountable to Parliament and their secret service funds be audited. Article 14 states that all are equal before the law. Therefore, their cannot be any exceptions.

I had mentioned that the Government of India must prove these political assassinations of young Sikh politicians abroad and here.
