The Tribune dated 16th January 2023

Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that Hindu India’s exports to Communist China of iron ore, copper, aluminium and gems are like selling away the soul of the Hindu Indian state.

It is sad that an ultra nationalist state ruled by the extremist BJP-RSS is sending precious raw material to Communist China, which has occupied 40,000 sq kms of Ladakh territory in 1962 and in 2020 and 2022 the Hindu state surrendered another 2000 sq kms of Ladakh and NEFA territory to Communist China.

The worst is that the Hindu state has a trade deficit of $100 billion dollars with Communist China.

If the Sikhs want their borders in Punjab at Hussiniwala and Wagha to be opened with Islamic Pakistan for trade, the BJP-RSS Union Government gives the Sikhs a big snub.

When Communist China conquered territories in Ladakh and NEFA and with Islamic Pakistan there is peace, then we do not understand why after the WTO signal, the Hindu Indian state does not open the borders of Wagha and Hussiniwala?

The fact is that the Hindus and Muslims have centuries old enmity with one another. The Sikhs are neither Hindus nor Muslims as ordained by Guru Nanak Sahib. The question is why should the Sikhs suffer and pay the price of this enmity? This needs to be explained to us rationally and logically.
