3 cases in less than a week

[Mehtab Singh]

I don't know if this is all planned, or someone is taking advantages of the loopholes in the Indian justice system, but there have been 3 cases of a Sikh's hair being forcibly cut in less than a week. First it was Inderpreet Singh from Jaipur, Rajasthan who was kidnapped by local goons and his kesh were cut. Today it was on the early morning breaking news that 2 more such incidents have occured. One was Gurdeep Singh from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand who was arrested on Thursday night, and the same night his joora was chopped off. He even showed his kesh on camera. Police say that he was arrested on criminal charges, but Gurdeep denies it, saying it was he who informed the police of the crime. The police also say that he has been arrested many times, and so to seek revenge he cut his kesh himself and is blaming the cops. The 3rd case is Jagbir Singh from Kurukshetra, Haryana who says he was drugged and when he went unconscious his kesh and beard were cut. He is almost bald now. Sangat jee, these 3 cases have come from 3 different parts of India, all from states where non-Sikhs are a majority. These cases seem to be unrelated, but in any case, it does appear that some miscreants are testing our patience. The scenes of Sikhs brandishing swords on the roads makes them laugh and they have decided to have some cheap fun by making such scenes a daily routine. The mere arrest of Arjun Meena, the culprit who dishonored Inderpreet Singh's hair is no lesson to these scoundrels, and I guess the Sikh sangat in India should make sure that anyone who insults our religious sentiments be made to pay a severe price so that in future no one dares to commit such an act. As you may be aware, a mere arrest in India can very well lead to release once the mouths of the officers incharge are filled with currency notes. Some desi methods vouch for a punishment in public so that all those who witness it can understand the consequences and keep away from doing any such acts. Perhaps that is what these culprits deserve. You can imagine how Muslims would react if some official forced pork down the throat of an Al Qaeda terrorist, and these are ordinary Sikh citizens we are talking about. It is time for action and avoid any pre-1984 kind of climate to emerge in India. Please do what you can.
