Milwaukee: Sikh Leader writes to Obama

Dr Aulakh Singh, writes to President Obama

The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
The White House
Washington DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of the 28 million strong Sikh Nation and over 700,000 Sikhs in the United States, I would like to thank you for your recent statement of support in the wake of the murder of six Sikhs in Milwaukee. In the wake of this tragedy, the Sikh Nation has been comforted by the support we have received from leaders and ordinary people around the country and the world.
Thank you for stressing “how much our country has been enriched by Sikhs.” Sikhs have contributed to this country in all walks of life.
We appreciate your recognition of these contributions, especially at a sad time such as this.

Dr Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President Council of Khalistan
We are offended by the Indian government’s criticism of your Administration, blaming you for the massacre. It is not the policy of this country that gave rise to it; this terrible act is the act of one disturbed individual. We look forward to the day when events like this massacre in Milwaukee, the burning of a mosque in Missouri, and the movie theatre murders inColorado will no longer happen. Your statement helps bring that day closer.
We are also disturbed by the burning of the American flag outside the U.S. Embassy inNew Delhi. This act should offend all Americans.
This act creates a very bad impression of the Sikhs. Either the persons who did that are very stupid or they are agents of the Indian government, which has killed Sikhs and other minorities by the tens of thousands.

Former Member of Parliament Simranjit Singh Mann reports that more than a million Sikhs have been murdered by the Indian regime since 1982. The Indian government has murdered more than 300,000 Christians since 1948, almost 100,000 Muslims in Kashmir since 1988, 2,000 to 5,000 Muslims in Gujarat, and tens of thousands of Assamese, Bodos, Manipuris, Tamils, Dalits, and others. The Indian Supreme Court called the Indian government’s murders of Sikhs “worse than genocide.”

We continue to work to liberate our homeland, Khalistan. Freedom will help us prevent this ongoing violence and repression of our people. Please support freedom for the Sikh Nation.
In the wake of these terrible events, we grieve together and pray for each other. Thank you again for the statement that you made. It will be helpful in the healing process.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh
President Council of Khalistan

Pakistan can never be Madina E Saani

By Nadeem Sajjad. Pakistan is a land loved by many and lived in by millions. It has been witnessed in the past --and somewhat in the present age – that the origin of the name (word) “Pakistan” has had many different accounts of its creators/inventors. Known to be the most accurate of all accounts, is the one of the much respected Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Others have the concept that the word “Pakistan” was given to the Muslims of India, after the success of Lahore resolution in 1940, by the Hindus of the subcontinent and was then used by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session at Delhi on 24 April 1943. Whatever may be the origin, the Muslims got their own land to practice their religion Islam, and to maintain their traditions. The thing that should be emphasized upon is that the country was created in the name of Islam. Knowing the origin is one thing, but naming the country or the name itself to something els...

What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

By Patrick B. Pexton Readers periodically ask me some variation on this question: “Why does the press follow every jot and tittle of Iran’s nuclear program, but we never see any stories about Israel’s nuclear weapons capability?” It’s a fair question. Going back 10 years into Post archives, I could not find any in-depth reporting on Israeli nuclear capabilities, although national security writer Walter Pincus has touched on it many times in his articles and columns . I spoke with several experts in the nuclear and nonproliferation fields , and they say that the lack of reporting on Israel’s nuclear weapons is real — and frustrating. There are some obvious reasons for this, and others that are not so obvious. First, Israel refuses to acknowledge publicly that it has nuclear weapons. The U.S. government also officially does not acknowledge the existence of such a program. Israel’s official position, as reiterated by Aaron Sagui, spokesman fo...

Listening In

New revelations at Guantánamo show the walls have ears, and justice is being made a mockery. BY LAURA PITTER Just when you think it couldn't get much worse in the military commissions at Guantánamo, something happens to prove you wrong. It all began in late January when, during pretrial hearings in the case against five men accused in the 9/11 attacks, the audio feed -- which runs on a 40-second delay to prevent leaks of classified information -- was abruptly cut off. The media and observers, who sit behind a soundproof glass wall at the back of the court, noted the silence. But the cut surprised even the military judge, who believed he was the only one with authority to press the button and who did not consider the information being discussed at that moment classified. The audio cutoff was initiated "not by me," the judge, Army Col. James Pohl, said angrily at the time, and "I'm curious as to why." He added, "If some external body is...
