The Tribune dated 19th April 2024

Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that the Hindu Indian state is not capable of protecting its territory from Islamic Pakistan and Communist China, which have made deep intrusions into its territories in Kashmir and Ladakh and Arunchal is next under the threat of intrusion.

This new policy of BJP-RSS Union Government of Premier Modi to assassinate Sikhs abroad and within the country must also fall under the hammer of the UN.

Besides this the Hindu Indian state has not signed UN protocols, treaties, covenants and conventions on Human Rights, some of them being:

1. 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
2. 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
3. 1954 Convention relating to Status of Stateless Persons.
4. 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples.
5. 1965 International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
6. 1966 Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
7. 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. It is because there are still 30,000 Sikh Stateless refugees in Kashmir since 1947.
8. 1972 Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile System.
9. 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. If this Convention had been followed, neither the Darbar Sahib, the Golden Temple would not have been reduced to rubble nor the Babri Masjid in 1992.
10. 1984 Convention against Torture and other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
11. 1984 Safeguard and guaranteeing protection of the Rights of those facing the death penalty.
12. 1995 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
13. 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
14. 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of anti-Personnel Mines and their Destruction (the Ottawa Convention on the abolition of landmines).
15. 2001 Rome Statute, by virtue of which the International Criminal Court has been set up at The Hague.
16. 2010 The Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibits all use, stockpiling, production and transfer of Cluster Munitions.

Is the Hindu state mature and fit to be a member of the UNSC as like cannibals and snakes, it eats and swallows its own citizens- Sikhs, Muslims, Tribals and Schedule Castes.

But the largest fear today is whether its current Parliamentary poll will be fair and aboveboard as the UN and Western Democracies, Amnesty International, US Commission on International Religious Freedom have not sent their Observers to watch this Hindutva legerdemain.
