Guru Ki Golak looted and they know who did it
It was a surprise when I saw this news in a southern newpaper but I did not notice this report in Tribune. It seems 2.75 Lakh was stolen from the treasury of the Golden Temple, but no Police case has been filed. Those in charge of securing the room are no suspected of this act, but SGPC is not handing the case to Police to find the culprits. Does SGPC have its own detectives? How does SGPC plan to catch these people without Police help?

Justice Served — Khalra murders convicted
After a long time in Sikh history, justice has been served. The monsters in Khaki uniforms have been convicted of murdering a Sikh sewadar. Jaswant Singh Khalra, was a panthic sewadar working to shed light on attrocities being committed under the covers of laws like terrorist and disruptive activities act (TADA).
Its been a long time coming but it is definitely a day for history. Officers on the payroll of the Punjab Police have been convicted of murder. We would be foolish to think that DSP and SHO ranked officers did this act on their own without instructions from powers that be. Since the suicide of SSP Sandhu, it will be really hard to find any threads that tie this to any high-ranking officers.
What Sikh panth should mark down today is that Punjab Police did kill Sikhs who spoke up against them. Who within the ranks was doing so is not as important, as the fact that the institution has been convicted today.
For those looking to read up on the case of S. Jaswant Singh Khalra, here is a link to Amnesty Intl. brief.
