New Delhi, Pakistan has been ”eliminating” its Sikh population for decades through killings, rapes, abductions and forced marriages of young women and is funding and fueling terrorism and separatist movement globally to achieve its sinister designs to break India, a Canadian expert has said. Terry Milewski, in his report ‘Khalistan : A Project of Pakistan’, published by Canadian think-tank MacDonald-Laurier Institute, said Khalistani terrorists had ”sworn their allegiance” to Pakistan. Milewski was speaking at a webinar ‘Khalistani Terrorism and Canada’ organised by Defence Capital, a
publication of the Delhi-based think-tank Law and Society Alliance and Strategic Affairs. Milewski said his report had exposed Khalistan extremists and Pakistan where Sikhs still suffer from forcible conversions, attacks on Gurudwaras, abductions and killings. “It is as if India-Pakistan partition
days are not yet over. This is why the Sikh population is rapidly declining in Pakistan.” He said the motivation for writing the report after 35 years of the Air India bombing by Khalistan terrorists, the largest mass killing Canada has ever seen, was the illegal Khalistan map which included some parts
of India. “This map does not claim a single inch of the Pakistani territory as part of Khalistan. It should have included Lahore, from where Maharaja Ranjit Singh ran an empire, and Nakanana Sahib, where Guru
Nanak Dev Ji was born. Why are those parts with Sikh history being left out ? The answer is that people who are organising the movement for Khalistan cannot afford to run the campaign without Pakistan’s
monetary and other kind of support. They do not want to annoy their masters,” he said. British Member of the House of Lords, Lord Remi Ranger, thanked Milewski for the “explosive” report and noted that his credibility made it even more powerful. “Khalistani extremists are an insult to the Sikh Gurus. They are totally misguided, and work at the behest of Pakistan that uses religion to divide people,” Lord Remi said. He appealed to those countries that have given shelter to Khalistani separatists, to realise the harm they (Khalistani terrorists) were committing to their own citizens, like those affected by the Air India flight terror attack. “The Khalistanis, by working for India’s enemies, are committing a crime that goes against their Gurus who worked to unite India, and their own kith and kin. They have done enough damage to the legacy of their Gurus.” Lord Ranger said India needs to open its doors and have intelligent communicators placed in embassies abroad to counter the information warfare unleashed by Pakistan through Khalistani elements. Sukhi Chahal, Chairman of Punjab Foundation and Founder of ‘The Khalsa Today’, said Pakistan had
destroyed Punjab by fueling terrorism. He also hit out at the Khalistani elements globally for their silence on the atrocities committed on the Sikh community in Pakistan. “Recently, a Granthi’s daughter was kidnapped in Pakistan, forcibly converted, and married to a Muslim. None of the Kahlistanis spoke against it. That is because Pakistan is where the support for Khalistan is coming from.” Noting that the ”Mahabharata cannot be fought with the ethics and morality of Ramayana”, Defence analyst Maj Gaurav Arya said India should get into the extremely aggressive mode.
“We are surrounded by two non-democratic systems which are nuclear powers. Intent and Capability are two key ingredients required if you have to fight them. India has the capability. What we need from the government is intent,” he said.
