Khalistan is )eing realised. The Five mem)er Panthak ,ommittee constituted )y the

-ar)at Khalsa convened )y the %amdami Taksal0 today here)y declares &the formation

of(

Khalistan .

This declaration of the Khalistan is made )efore the Khalsa Panth as well as the -ikh

community &comprising of every -ikhE male0 female0 mother0 )rother etc.( so that all

of us may0 in accordance with our individual capacity0 contri)ute to its cause

physically0 mentally0 and financially and may thus prove worthy of our e*alted Guru?s

saying of +aran +umsa0 -uria 6ak 6ai0 ;o 6oi +aran Farwano. Today the five

mem)er Panthak ,ommittee calls upon the entire -ikh nation to )e ready for all types

of sufferings and scarifies.

The wish of the Khalsa is to achieve the declared o)'ective )y the Guru?s grace0 love

and affection. $ur programme isC

4a ko wairi nahi )egana0 -agal -ang hamko )an ai .

&4o one is our enemy and no one is stranger to us0 all are our )rethren(.

De are not interested in creating any upheaval or in shedding undue )lood and we

e*pect the same from others too. De e*press our firm faith in resolving all the issues

cordially and through a dialogue with the 6indu ma'ority and Government of India.

De hope that the Government of India will not )e )linded )y an anti/-ikh attitude

underlying "rahminism and will face the reality )y giving recognition to theformation of

Khalistan . This would )e the real -atyagraha of "harat.

olitical -eco1nition

The Khalsa Panth demands political recognition &of

Khalistan ( from all the powers of the world0 especially America &.-.A.(0 !ngland0

Pakistan0 ,hina0 ,anada0 Dest Germany and from the Governments which aresignatory to the Darsaw Pact0 and Italy0 France0 ;apan0 -ri #anka0 4epal0 "urma0

"hutan0 "angla %esh0 Iran0 Ira:0 -audi/Ara)ia0 Israel0 !:uador etc. De also appeal to

the mem)er countries of .4.$. to grant us recognition0 help and assistance for the

various political0 military and other issues0 which have arisen or may arise concerning

the human rights in the


12/17

Khalistan .

De are hopeful that the new government of

Khalistan will )e formed soon )ut the Panth is seeking its political recognition to

avoid the pro)lems that may )e caused )y the delay in its recognition. De havealready demanded recognition )y the Government of India which should come forth

in order to keep good neigh)ourly relations &)etween India and

Khalistan ( that will help in restoring peace and )rotherhood in Pun'a) as well as in

India0 and encouraging toleration so as to end all )itterness of the day.

-ince

Khalistan has come into )eing0 the Government of India should &recognising its

e*istence( take political0 military and administrative measures such as recalling itsarmy of occupation and para/military forces. It should also direct its administration to

e*ecute the writ of

Khalistan .

Khalistan 0 for the time )eing0 does not intend to )ring a)out any change in the present

from of government2administration set up so that day/to/day work may not suffer.

$nly the seals of Government of Pun'a) and India will )e replaced )y those of

?Khalistan .

The -ikh community is especially commanded to )e patient and tolerant. The

Government -ikh officials0 the -ikh soldiers and all kind of Government2semi/

Government employees should0 without falling victim to any provocation0 continue to

their duty honestly till some specific orders from the Panth. De are desirous of

avoiding every kind of upheaval0 especially the destruction of -tate property and

&natural( resources.

The task of forming the Government of

Khalistan has )een left to its Prime +inister2President who will announce itsformation at the earliest. All -ikh political organisations are here)y directed to declare

their concurrence and allegiance to

Khalistan 0 and accord all possi)le help to make it a -uccess


13/17

At this 'uncture0 every -ikh is duty/)ound to forege Panthak unity )y )rushing aside

all kinds of differences.

Social Structure

The

Khalistan will function on the lines of the Guru?s saying ;a) #ag Khalsa rahe niara0

ta) lag te' doe main sara &so long as the Khalsa remains distinguisha)le0 I shall )estow

full glory upon him(. 4o individual will )e allowed to e*ploit others &either

economically or socially(0 particularly the )ackward village community. Profiteering0

)lack/marketing0 adulteration0 and all such other offences and social ine:ualities will

not )e tolerated )y the Khalsa0 which will also not allow mental retardation of any

individual. 4o particular community or sect will )e allowed to impose selfish will

ar)itrarily upon others through the medium of press0 writing0 education or other media

of pu)licity.

The constitutional arrangements will )e made for the religion to act as the custodian

of -tate. The -ikh religion will )e the official creed of Khalistan. Further0 it will )e a

paramount duty of the Government to see that -ikhism must flourish unhindered in

Khalistan.

The ,hief o)'ective )efore the political and administrative structure of the Khalistan

will )e the welfare of humanity and social service0 as per the sayingC It is sinful to

employ our hands and legs0 save in the service of others.

!very -ikh0 male and female0 will )e guaranteed to develop and prosper to the )est of

his or her a)ility. The lack of education or social )ackwardness will not )e allowed to

stand in the way of progress. The monopoly of education with its feudalistic

tendencies will also not )e allowed to )e used as a tool to deprive the uneducated of

their rights 'ust as the way in which the children of the ur)an settlers and the rich0

outmanoeuvre all the children of the poor village folk and en'oy the )ounties of nature

much more than what is due0 while $n the other hand the children of the poor and the

village people continue to remain )ackward from generation to generation due to

illiteracy0 poverty and sickness. The Khalistan government would like to )ase the

distri)ution of all natural resources upon the fulfilment of )asic necessities0 of life.

Feudalism and capitalism will not )e allowed to influence the government machinery

and the consciousness of the people. ,ontrary to it0 no limitation will )e imposed on

any individual to prosper and flourish according to the )est of his wisdom0 la)our and

a)ility.


14/17

The people will )e associated fully with the administrative task and their participation

will ensure that the red tapism will not re/emerge in Khalistan. At the village level0 the

local men will )e associated with civil0 criminal0 development and 'udicial

administration of various types so that the false witnesses and police touts may not kill

'ustice )y concealing the truth. The association and involvement of the villagers will

)e secured through more than one &it may )e two or three( tier systems to see thatopportunity for appeal and arguments may )e readily availa)le and at low cost.

The policy of Khalistan will )e as per the Guru?s wish0

-ar)at %a "hala &welfare of all( and a policy of encouraging a civilied life0 of

promoting the sense of )rotherhood of mankind and a sense of involvement. The

segregation of humanity )ased upon caste0 'ati0 )irth0 locality and colour will not )e

permitted0 and such divisions will )e a)olished )y the use of political power.

#ikewise0 such other cruel and distasteful practices ascri)ed to social/ine:uality0

especially )etween -ikh males and females will )e removed through the use of political power.

It will )e the first endeavour of

Khalistan to maintain cordial relations with its neigh)ouring countries.

The

Khalistan ,ommando Force is under the charge of General 6ari -ingh0 its

,ommander/in/chief. This force shall serve as the nucleus of future defenceorganisation of

Khalistan .

The -ikhs living outside Pun'a) in India are here)y called upon to settle in Khalistan0

so that they may not face any calamity such as the holocaust of 4ovem)er 1>=5. At

the same time0 money/minded 6indus are here)y directed not to put hurdles in the

way of Khalsa Panth.

The -hahi Imam in %elhi0 -aiyyed +uhammad A)dulla "ukhari0 in his presidentialaddress at the -ikh -eminar on ?Dhy not Khalistan? held at ,handigarh on Fe)ruary0

1>=10 while referring to the )loody massacre of -ikhs )y 4irankaris on 13 April0

1>9=0 at Arnritsar0 had o)served that in the free India the +uslims had )een su)'ected

to carnage )ut now the -ikhs too are )eing )utchered. This o)servation of the -hahi

Imarn has proved to )e prophetic. The Indian Pun'a) Government has started the

assassination of the Amritdhari &)aptised( -ikhs in Pun'a). The innocent -ikh youths0


15/17

without )eing tried in the courts are )eing killed in fake police encounters organised

regularly.

The police chief of =50 the Government of India. under the

cover of curfew0 )utchered the entire -angat gathered at %ar)ar -ahi) on the eve ofGurpur) cele)ration of -ri Guru Ar'un %ev ;i. Following this0 the armed forces

)esieged all the Gurdwaras of Pun'a) and killed the -ikhs therein. -imilar curfew was

imposed on more than 10@@@ villages of Pun'a) and Amritdhari &)aptised( -ikhs were

hunted down and martyred. "efore starting this task of genocide of the )aptised -ikhs0

the 6indu military officers and sepoys were mentally and emotionally e:uipped

through their official +againe "at ,heet for the complete e*tinction of the -ikhs. It

was clearly spelt out in the "at ,heet as to what were the distinctive marks of the

Amritdhari -ikhs. It was mentioned that though outwardly they appear to )e innocent0

yet in reality they &Amritdhari -ikhs( are murderous0 anti/national and e*tremists.

Therefore0 it )ecomes the duty of every security personnel to inform their superiors of

the wherea)outs of any such Amritdhari0 -ikh they come across.

4owhere in the history of the world0 such an action has )een taken )y any Army

against the citiens of its own country.

After this0 when Indira &Gandhi( was assassinated )y

"eant )ullets 0 the 6indu Government of India0 the new Prime +inster0 in league with

his political and other official associates2advisers0 e*ecuted the conspiracy of

systematic killings of the -ikhs in %elhi for a num)er of days. This carnage has put to pale even the )loody carnage of 4adir -hah in %elhi.

"hai A'it -ingh "ains0 e*/'udge0 Pun'a) and 6aryana 6igh court0 ,handigarh

President of the !n:uiry ,ommittee constituted )y the "arnala Government0 while

writing a)out the 1@@ false police encounters0 e*pressed surprise $ver the fact that in

none of these encounters0 any police consta)le or an officer has )een shown as

wounded0 nor any murder case has )een registered against police. It is )ecause in

India0 the government functions as per the saying0 $ #alo0 falsehood is reigning all

around. This shows the real meaning of "rahminical principles which proclaim that

only

Truth wins )ut practise falsehood. The singular aim of "rahminism is to e*terminate

the -ikh religion root and )ranch )ecause the -ikh religion is inimical to the

"rahminical principles of caste/system and )ipran ki reet &Karma system(.


16/17

It is what was done )y -hankaracharya who secured the death of lakhs of "uddhist

monks and destroyed their temples and other religious sym)ols )y the use of military

forces. Although the "uddhist religion took its )irth in 6industan0 and it spread in far/

flung countries like ,hina0 ;apan0 +alaya and "urma etc0 yet it was eliminated from

its place of )irth i.e. India. This reflects the real meaning of the "rahminical motto of

Ahimsa Paramo %harma. &4on violence is the supreme religion(.

Presently0 Indian Government is following the policy of -hankaracharya0 determined

to annihilate the -ikhs and -ikhism )y using all kinds of political0 cultural0 economic0

administrative and military means. This is the real meaning of the &false( claims of

"rahminism of preaching tolerance. In free India0 attempts are made to put cur)s on

the minority communities2religions. The voices are raised in the Indian Parliament to

put a )an on the conversion of the 6indus. A petition was made )efore Dest "engal

6igh ,ourt to put a )an on the 6oly Huran of the +uslims.

Attempts are made to secure a total annihilation of the -ikhs0 destruction of the -ikhreligious sym)ols through military force0 imprisonment of the Kirtani ;athas &signing

groups(0 )y registering false cases against them and threatening the Granthis &readers

of the religious scriptures( in every village and involving them in false cases too0 and

putting then )ehind the )ars without trial. De have given details of already referred to

the une:uivocal anti/-ikh policies of the Indian Government and the manner in which

the Amritdhari -ikhs0 the products of hard la)our of the -ikhism propagation of are

)eing made the targets for elimination through the methods as enunciated in the "at

,heet.

The Government has already e*hi)ited its anti/-ikh attitude )y depriving the -ikhs ofthe fundamental rights through false propaganda of declaring the -ikhs as e*tremists0

murderers and traitors. It has )een :uite successful in concealing the facts from the

world through its use of political power. To achieve this aim0 there is censorship and

)an on0 the entry of foreign correspondents and newspaper editors in Pun'a) since

1>=5. If any organisation or individual reported anything concerning the misera)le

plight and annihilation of the -ikhs0 it2he incurred the wrath of the government which

stuck like a thunder)olt.

As a result of the false propaganda of the government0 the -ikhs had to suffer several

hardships even in the countries known as the champions of civil


17/17

?"lue -tar? and the $peration ?Dood =80 )y the -ar)at Khalsa will approach the

countries known for supporting the cause of human rights0 for every kind of desired

help0 supply0 assistance and sympathy. De appeal for similar help to the .4.$. De

shall0 ever feel grateful to the neigh)ouring countries which sympathise with our

cause during our hours of )eing in crisis. De are also grateful to those -ikh ladies andgentlemen living a)road who have espoused our cause. If they so desire0 we are ready

to offer the Khalistan citienship to the -ikhs living a)road.

The five mem)er Panthak ,ommittee appeals to all the -ikhs not to loot arms and

ammunition or other items from the -ikh houses. It also appeals to the -ikh -angats to

help in every possi)le manner those -ikh ladies and gents who are engaged in fighting

for the cause of the formation of Khalistan since the &real( forte of the -ikhs are the

-ikh -angats.
