UPDATED: “Stay” of Execution Announced – Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana

UPDATE: In accordance to Badal’s great game, he allowed for the bandh, but won’t let this moment fall from his bony and corrupt grasp.  He has already imprisoned all those that may possibly post a challenge to him.  Daljit Singh Bittu and others are being imprisoned throughout Punjab as we type this post.  Just as Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana said, we are getting played by these blue-turban wearers.

Signs of victories and congratulations are being issued by Sikhs on social media.  The question was not ‘if’ a stay would be announced, but ‘when.’  This is the game….

It was always going to occur. More than even the Central Govt, Badal fears the Shaheed. The Shaheed has convictions, where he has none. This is how Badal does stage management of the Sikhs – allow the kettle to boil, but not too much. Then show the Central Government that only you are the mastermind that can “control” the Sikhs, cementing your importance to them.

How to break this? Up the ante. This is my humble suggestion – Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana has showed his convictions. While we (against his wishes) circulated petitions and asked for clemency, he only asked for justice. The stage is set. If he were to begin a hunger strike for justice asking for the release of all political prisoners, the Government of India could not accede. The Punjab Government would be brought to its knees if during this hunger strike, the Sikhs converged upon Patiala.

Let us not pat our backs about the “stay.” We are being manipulated before our eyes. We have seen our potential (the amazing pictures of kesri flags throughout Punjab and even at India Gate attest to this).  However, the march must continue….

    thank you for stating what needed to be said. we are being played – the most dangerous thing would be for Sikhs to settle with the "stay" as an accomplished victory and let go of the momentum being harnessed here. this is the time to collectivize and continue in the struggle against injustice. the push has to be forward.

  2. […] is reason to be cynical about the stay of execution, as outlined on the blog The Langar Hall. Certainly, any granted clemency can be said by the powers-that-be to close the chapter on this […]

    Word, great and correct comment above and analysts in the article. This is chanakaya-style of Indian politics. Harness the momentum, and demand more. We do dishonor to our ancestors and injustice to our future generations if we don’t put aside our differences, believe in only the power of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, and unify as Sikhs and achieve. We must be better today then we were yesterday, and tomorrow we will be better than we are today.
