India’s venal judicial system continues with its ‘Nura-Kushti’ in the hope that it can fool the world’s 26 million Sikhs, who have sought justice for nearly 26 years, for the state-supervised mass murder, in Nov.1984, in which over 10, 000 Sikhs were put to death after a ‘wink and a nod’ from the then Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi the father of Rahul Gandhi and husband of Sonia Gandhi Indian Police discover a 1992 charge sheet, hidden in their files for over eighteen years, against the thugish Congress Party leader Sajjan Kumar, who has recently been playing hide-and seek with Delhi courts to avoid being arrested for leading & organizing mobs during the state-supervised anti-Sikh Nov. 1984 pogrom
A ‘Nura Kushti’ is going on in the Indian courts to fool the Sikhs who are NOT amused Washington D.C. Wednesday 21 April, 2010: Last Saturday (on 17 April, 2010) a city court, in New Delhi, found itself in a ‘peculiar situation’ (to quote the judge) after a chargesheet, naming Congress party leader Sajjan Kumar as an accused in the November 1984 anti-Sikh mass murders was discovered in a police file after eighteen years, was presented in the court.of Additional Sessions Judge V.K. Goel. The chargesheet was signed over eighteen years ago, on April 4, 1992, and had Sajjan Kumar’s name on it.A panel of special prosecutors appointed by the Delhi High court in the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom case found an FIR registered in 1987 in Nangloi police station is still pending with no action taken on it. Kumar was charged in that case. The Additional Sessions Judge V.K. Goel was quoted as saying that, “This is a peculiar situation because according to the procedure, the police needs to file the chargesheet in the court, then it goes to the metropolitan magistrate and then comes to the sessions court. This case directly coming to me puts me in a difficult situation.” The court slated the matter for further arguments to May 15, 2010. The tireless Counsel for the Sikh victims of the November 1984 state-supervised pogrom, Sirdar H.S. Phoolka was quoted in the medias as saying that, “This is big manipulation from the police’s side. The reason that this FIR was not pursued by the police is because Sajjan Kumar is an accused. When the police could not remove his name from the chargesheet (FIR 67/87), they decided to completely forget about it.” According to the Indian media the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Rajiv Ranjan, tried to (> http://www.newkerala.com/news/fullnews-91519.html <) explain the reasons for the ‘missing chargesheet for eighteen years,’ is reported to have told the court with a straight face that, “It was misplaced because we clubbed it with another FIR.” To which the special public prosecutor responded by saying that the police has no right to club FIRs, and only the court has the power to decide this. He also wanted to know why only the charge-sheet in which Sajjan Kumar’s name appeared was the one to go missing. Last week, the court had asked Deputy Commissioner of Police, Rajiv Ranjan Ranjan as to why the charge-sheet was not on record when Delhi Police were claiming that the report was ready to be filed in the court. It is obvious a phony ‘Nura-Kushti’ (make belief wrestling) is taking place within the Indian judicial system to fool the Sikh nation which has not forgotten - and will never forget - the dark days of the ‘long knives’ in November 1984 when over ten thousand innocent Sikhs were put to death in Delhi alone and their bodies left to rot in the sun. Any one who has read the history of the Sikhs knows that we freedom-loving muscular Sikhs know how to get justice no matter how long it takes and np matter how many poster boy Sikhs are made Prime ministers of India. WE HAVE LONG MEMORIES. For readers to understand the above ‘Nura Kusshti’ the Khalistan Calling of March 31, 2010, is appended below:Washington D.C. Wednesday 31 March, 2010: Nearly twenty six years after the dark days of November 1984, when over ten thousand innocent Sikh men, women and children were murdered, raped and burnt, just because they looked like Sikhs, (during a state supervised nation-wide pogrom ordered by the then Prime minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, the father of Rahul Gandhi and husband of Sonia Gandhi) the guilty thugs who pass as Congress party leaders, like Sajjan Kumar, (who led the Hindu mobs during the November 1984 murder spree) are being protected by the Supreme Court of India the highest court of the land. JUSTICE INDIAN STYLE! A report in Monday’s TRIBUNE (a Chandigarh-based English language newspaper dominated by (> http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100330/main5.htm <) bigoted Hindu journalists) triumphantly reports that, “In a major relief to senior Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, an accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, the Supreme Court today refused to interfere with Delhi High Court’s February 26 order granting anticipatory bail to him. A Bench comprising Justices P. Sathasivam and H.L. Dattu also rejected a plea for directing the CBI to provide protection to witnesses. The court said that, ‘Witnesses could approach the trial court if they perceived any threat as we are not inclined to interfere with the Delhi High Court order on the anticipatory bail as the HC had given reasons, which included the delay in investigations. Also, Sajjan Kumar has subsequently obtained regular bail from the trial court, rendering the petitions in the SC infructuous,’ ruled the Bench. HYPOCRISY INDIAN STYLE! The Supreme Court bench tried to justify it’s immoral anti-Sikh stand by further ruling that, “We are not underestimating the feelings of the victims. Under normal circumstances, Sajjan Kumar would not have got bail. But in this case 25 years had passed, several commissions had gone into it and CBI was investigating it since 2005. Nothing happened in the case from 1984-90. If the CBI had wanted it could have arrested him after 2005, but it did not.” Arguing for victims, senior counsel Anil Divan and Ravi Shankar Prasad contended that, “The Congress leader had neither surrendered nor responded to summons, and when the CBI raided his house on September 11, 1990 , a mob burnt down its jeeps”. Counsel Ravi Shankar Prasad further said that, “the CBI had filed a closure report without recording the statement of his client, a widow, who lost her husband and children in the riots. “At every stage, fair trial was being interrupted,” he said. At this, the Bench asked the counsel, “Do you think, the CBI is not aware of the consequences?” The above Supreme court ruling was in response to a legal challenge to a Delhi High Court order of 27 February, 2010, which granted anticipatory bail to Sajjan Kumar, after the man had been playing a hide-and-seek drama for weeks to evade arrest, ordered by a lower court in two cases related to his alleged involvement in the November 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom. The Delhi High Court had agreed with Sajjan Kumar’s contention that, “detaining him (> http://www.tribuneindia.com/ 2010/20100227/nation.htm#3 <) after 25 years was not justifiable’. While granting bail, Justice

A.K. Pathak of the Delhi High Court observed: that, “I do not find force in the contention that in case petitioners are at large on bail, it will hamper fair trial and witnesses may not depose against the petitioners due to fear and threat. Admittedly, all along for the last 25 years petitioners have remained at large as they were not in custody.” The court granted anticipatory bail to Sajjan Kumar and others on a personal bond of Rs 50, 000 each while observing that, “New witnesses, who have surfaced during the investigation, after lapse of over 25 years, cannot be believed. The petitioner all along cooperated in the investigation conducted by the CBI during the past five years.” According to the Tribune report two non-bailable arrest warrants issued against Sajjan Kumar by a city court on February 17 and February 23 will now stand cancelled. The anticipatory bail granted, by the Delhi High Court to Sajjan Kumar and others is not subject to any period limitation and can be later treated as a regular bail. The former MP had been absconding since the non-bailable warrant (NBW) was first issued against him on February 1, 2010 . Senior Advocate H.S. Phoolka, according to the above Tribune report, described the Delhi High Court order of 27 February, 2010 , as, ‘a major setback to the fight for justice’. He is quoted as having said that, ‘it was an unfortunate moment for those who suffered in the riots. This is a very unfortunate and sad moment for us. We will move the Supreme Court against the order and our fight will continue for justice, as the CBI had filed a charge sheet against Sajjan Kumar and others in two cases for allegedly instigating mobs after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984.” The above two legal ruling to protect a mass murderer, Sajjan Kumar, in the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court of India were in consequence to a February 23, 2010, order of an upright and honest Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM), one Lokesh Kumar, who angrily rejected the explanation of the CBI counsel that the bureau failed to arrest the Congress leader (Sajjan Kumar) despite four raids since the court had issued fresh Non-Bailable-Warrants against him and another co-accused on February 17, 2010. Magistrate Lokesh Kumar is reported by the Tribune (in a New Delhi-datelined report headlined, “Court slams CBI, issues fresh NBW against Sajjan), to have ruled that, “I am satisfied that their (Sajjan and others) presence cannot be secured unless coercive method is applied.” (> http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100224/main5.htm <) The upright and honest New Delhi Magistrate was dismissive of CBI claims that the CBI conducted four raids at different places to arrest the accused, Sajjan Kumar, but only Girdhari Lal could be arrested. The magistrate said that, “Is this the manner in which the premier investigating agency (CBI) is working? Why were efforts not made in the night hours when there was a high probability of the accused being present in their homes? It seems the CBI is not interested in investigating the matter.” Terming the arrest of Girdhari Lal as a catch of a small fish, the court said the investigating officers (IO) of the cases were not serious about arresting the accused (Sajjan Kumar) and that their role was suspicious. The CBI had filed a charge sheet against Sajjan Kumar and others in two cases for allegedly instigating mob after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 . It is a well known fact that more than twenty five years ago, on 31 October, 1984, the then Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, launched an anti-Sikh pogrom, with ‘a wink and a nod’ and a vicious lament for mass murder of Sikhs, (a la King Henry II of England’s famous 1170 AD quip, for Archbishop Becket’s head) which resulted in the killing of over 10, 000 Sikhs all over the India, including the capital city of Delhi, during the next four days. The state-supervised pogrom, that followed the Indian Prime Minister’s remarks, was carried out by armed Hindu mobs, organized and directed by uniformed local Police and ruling Congress party workers. Innocent Sikhs men, women and children were murdered/raped/burned just because they looked like Sikhs and their property and Gurdawaras (Sikh ‘church’) were burnt and looted all over urban India but mostly in the capital city of Delhi. Sajjan Kumar, (along with Indian Union Minister for Transport, Kamal Nath and other Congress party thugs) was one of the Congress party leaders who led the Hindu mobs in the murder orgy ordered by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. As if the cruel illegal theatrics of the Indian Supreme Court and Delhi High Court in New Delhi, described above, were not enough of a provocation to every Sikh, the United States administration, in clear violation of U.S. Law, and disregard for Human Rights, has issued a visa to Congress party ‘thug’ Kamal Nath, currently serving as Indian minister of Transport, to visit the United States in April 2010, on a lecture tour. He is the same Kamal Nath, who led an armed Hindu mob, (a la Sajjan Kumar, during the November 1984 state-sponsored anti-Sikh pogrom) which demolished the historic New Delhi Gurdwara Rakab Ganj, where a number of Sikhs were murdered while the Police watched. Sikhs for Justice, a US based human rights advocacy group, with the support of many U.S.-based Gurdwaras and Human Rights organizations, are filing a protest with the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security urging the U.S. Administration to cancel Kalal Nath’s U.S. visa and ban his entry into these United States as this thug is a well known humans rights violator and killer of Sikhs. Sikhs for Justice are also organizing protests in New York outside the Indian Consulate on April 6 at 6.30 PM, Mayer Brown LLP (1075 – Broadway, NY on April 6, between 12 noon and 2 PM) and McGraw Hill Auditorium, (1221 Avenue of the Americas, NY on April 8, 2010, between 8.10 to 8.40 AM) We Sikhs MUST continue our efforts to find justice for the thousands of victims of the statesponsored November 1984 pogrom who were murdered by the Neo-Nazi evil nexus of the crafty Brahmin and the greedy Bania which has ruled India, since the British Colonials abandoned the South Asian subcontinent in 1947.
