Sikh Diaspora demands Vatican status for ‘Nanakana Sahib’
ANANDPUR SAHIB: While paying homage to two Pak Sikhs who were beheaded last week, continuous roaring of “Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akal” and resolve to establish lasting “World Peace” by eradicating tyranny and misrule marked concluding day of the ‘Hola-Mohalla’, at Anandpur Sahib, Punjab.

Predominantly wearing traditional ‘Kesri’ headgear on Tuesday, Sikhs assembled from world over to join yearly congregation at the birth place of ‘Khalsa’, lauded the martyrdom of Jaspal Singh and Mehal Singh for keeping the Sikh tradition alive by making supreme sacrifice for refusing forcible conversion to Islam or to pay ‘Jiziya’ in Taliban-Ruled Pak province infested by thousands of heavily armed tyrants.

Sikhs saw a design in imposing the Law of ‘Shariah’ on ‘Vaisakhi’ last year and duly empowered by the ‘Nizam-e-Adl Regulation-2009’, Taliban’s choice to raze Sikh houses in ‘Qasimkhel’ in ‘Aurakzai’, on Martyrdom Day of Sikh General Hari Singh Nalwa of ‘Khalsa-Raj’, who was commander-in-chief of the province in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s time.

Dr. Manjit Singh Randhawa, President of Sikh Nation Organisation said that Sikh congregation appealed to United Nations and international community to prevail upon Pakistan to grant ‘Vatican’ like status to ‘Nanakana’ Sahib along with eighteen thousand acres property of the shrine, to develop a “fear free abode for humanity”, without which “personal freedom” and “dignified survival” of Sikhs, Hindus, Christian and other Minority Communities seemed impossible.

He alleged that all minorities stood reduced to negligible level in Pakistan, from more than 20% to less than 4% as a result of “forced conversions, killings and migration” due to persecution in the Islamic country that is signatory to various U.N. Conventions on Human and Minority Rights and Conservation of diverse Cultural and Religious World Heritage of Humanity.
