We do not understand that THIS (Theocratic Hindu Indian state) has good relations with Russia and if Russia believes in referendums why the Hindu state is not following that example. In fact the UN Security Council has decreed that a plebiscite take place in Kashmir as that would solve this perplexed problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>On the other hand the Sikh peoples are asking for elections to their Parliament the SGPC ( S) which came into being by an act of law in 1925. It is decreed that elections to this institute will take place every five years. But the Union Home Ministry which is charged with this duty has not held elections for the last twelve years, as a result the Sikh\u2019s have lost their democratic rights and the SGPC has become a lame duck Parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>We do hope that the Hindu Indian state will hold elections to this House and fulfill its obligations to democracy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0716e3\"><strong><em>Simranjit Singh M\u0101nn,<br>President,<br>Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar),<br>Email: simranjitsinghmann@yahoo.com<br>website:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/akalidalamritsar.in\/?fbclid=IwAR2FkUdh2cYm08J9-iJ7-hHaQXPnGMbV7lqNRXXgBieoVHkrEBczqL3DqCI\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/akalidalamritsar.in\/<\/a><br>facebook page: @sardarsimranjitsinghmann<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No democracy for the Kashmiri\u2019s and the Sikh\u2019s in THIS (Theocratic Hindu Indian state). \u2013 Simranjit Singh M\u0101nn The Tribune Dated 16th March, 2023 Comments by Simranjit Singh Mann: Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that Kashmir is being treated as an annexed territory.
