Re: 6 June 1984 Amritsar Genocide - 42nd Year of Indian Army's Attack on Sri Darbar Sahib (Operation Blue Star)
Subject: DECLARE Bibi Satnam Kaur and Bibi Waheguru Kaur as Qaumi Shaheeds
DESIGNATE Lt Gen Kuldip Brar, Maj Gen Keshav Padha, Brig Israr Khan and Col Jasbir Raina as "Enemy of Sikh Nation".
Singh Sahib Ji,
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
As the global Sikh community marks the 42nd year of the Indian Army's assault on Sri Darbar Sahib and Sri Akal Takht Sahib, we remember the profound attack perpetrated by the Indian State at the very heart and soul of Sikh nation by desecrating the highest place of worship. The Operation Blue Star resulted in the gruesome massacre of over 10,000 pilgrims, including women and children by the Indian Army. At the same time, we honor the ultimate sacrifices made by the defenders of the faith, led by Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who laid down their lives to protect the sanctity of Darbar Sahib, Amritsar.
Among those who displayed extraordinary courage were two girls Shaheed Bibi Satnam Kaur and Shaheed Bibi Waheguru Kaur. During the peak of the military assault, these two sisters showed unwavering dedication in defending the sanctity of Sri Darbar Sahib when they made the ultimate sacrifice by positioning themselves, strapped with explosives, directly in front of invading Indian tanks to block their advance into the Darbar Sahib complex. Bhai Mohar Singh and Bibi Pritam Kaur, the parents of brave Shaheed Bibi Satnam Kaur and Shaheed Waheguru Kaur also laid their lives with their daughters.
On this 42nd year, the global Sikh community collectively urges Sri Akal Takht Sahib to officially declare Bibi Satnam Kaur and Bibi Waheguru Kaur as Qaumi Shaheeds. Recognizing their supreme sacrifice is vital to ensuring that their bravery remains permanently recorded in Sikh history as an inspiration for future generations.
We also urge Sri Akal Takht Sahib to officially designate Lt Gen Kuldip Brar, Maj Gen Keshav Padha, Brig Israr Khan, and Col Jasbir Raina as "Enemies of the Sikh Nation" for their direct roles in leading the military attack at Sri Darbar Sahib and the slaughter of thousands of innocent Sikh pilgrims.
