BJYM units to burn UPA govt effigy
BJYM seeks Chidambaram’s resignation over leak of Liberhan report
Report leaked to affect Jharkhand polls, BJYM chief

Chandigarh, November 28:
With an effort to expose the truth behind the intended revelation of Liberhan report by Congress led UPA government, the national president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Amit Thaker today gave a week long nation wide protest call to burn the effigy of UPA Government starting from 30th of November.

Amit Thaker alleged that it regretful that the way this sensitive issue has been politicized by the UPA Government, which has not only brought in fore their unethical political mindset but has also resulted in hurting the sentiments of millions of Hindu’s not only in India but across the globe.

Amit Thaker pointed out that copies of Liberhan commission report were either with the home minister P Chidambaram or with Justice Liberhan himself. “Justice Liberhan has plainly refused leaking any part of report, which clearly shows that the report was leaked by Chidambaram himself as a well charted conspiracy against the BJP,” Thaker added.


Seeking P Chidambaram’s resignation for his failure to maintain secrecy of report, Thaker added, “Why the report has suddenly jumped out of closets when Jharkhand polls are just round the corner? He alleged that it is a deliberate attempt to divert attention of common man from issue of inflation as it has failed to check the rising prices of essential commodities which is affecting the lives of common man very badly.


While raising serious concern over the authenticity of the report he said that it shocking that Liberhan report is tight-lipped on role of the head of the then union government, Narishma Rao, while at the same time they have indicted former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee without even serving him summons, which clearly indicates their vindictive attitude towards a particular party and its leaders.

He further laid emphasis on the fact that it is astonishing that Justice Libehrann has prepared this report without even visiting the site at Ayodya once in the past 17 years and has concocted the report on the based on the information picked from different sources including Media and compiled together. “Instead of going through entire case meticulously, the investigators chose to solely rely on hearsay,” he said adding that there was not even an iota of truth in the tabled report.

He called upon the worshippers of Shri Ram to work for cause of constructing Ram Mandir at Ayodhya and said that every unbiased person in nation stands for it.

Komagata Maru tragedy: Apology from Canadian Parliament sought
Komagata Maru tragedy: South Asians seek Canadian Parliament apology, MP Perneet Kaur approached
Komagata Maru tragedy: Memorial approaches Perneet Kaur seeking apology from Canadian Parliament

Chandigarh, November 12
Professor Mohan Singh Memorial Foundation, Canada has sought apology from the Canadian Parliament over the infamous Komagata Maru ship incident of 1914 that left around 376 people, mostly Sikhs, spurned from landing in Canada and many subsequently dead.
The foundation has submitted a memorandum to the Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur seeking her intervention to take up issue up through diplomatic channels with the Canadian Government and Prime minister of Canada who is likely to visit India next week.
In a press statement issued here today president of foundation Sahib Thind and vice-president Ravinder Gill stated that Canadian Parliament has already issued apologies to Japanese community, Chinese community and native people.
“The Canadian government has issued an apology in parliament to Japanese community for wrongful imprisonment of Japanese during the WWII. It issued an apology in parliament to Chinese community for head tax on Chinese immigrants. It has also issued an apology to the native people for residential school abuses. But when it comes to apologizing the South Asians, why the government is not willing,” questioned Sahib Thind.
He added that foundation demands that Federal Government should issue an outright apology in the Canadian Parliament. “A memorial should be established at Stanley Park where the ship tried to land. A living memorial should come up and maintain structures and practices that promote acceptance, understanding and inclusion of all people regardless of race, religion, gender or color,” Sahib Thind demanded.
Foundation feels that an account of the Komagata Maru tragedy and South Asian history should become part of the school curriculum in BC and across Canada.
In 2002 the foundation had initiated a petition asking for an apology from Canadian government. This petition was presented to Canadian Parliament with thousands of signatures, but matter still remains undecided.
Foundation submitted second petition to the Federal Government in April 2008 with over 20000 signatures again asking for an apology.
“It was the efforts of our foundation that after 94 years, the B.C. legislature unanimously passed a motion on May 23, 2008 apologizing for the Komagata Maru incident. Liberal House Leader Mike de Jong had deeply regretted for passengers who sought refuge but were turned away.
In August 2008, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephan Harper halfheartedly offered an apology in Surrey, BC, parking during the annual Gadri Babiyan da Mela organized by the foundation, however, community immediately rejected this political statement.
The community demanded a respectful apology in the Canadian parliament. To date no such apology is forthcoming from the Conservative Government. The Conservative Government refuses to apologize in the House of Commons for the Komagata Maru to the South Asian Community.
