Letter to Editor.

News items appearing now days have been cause for concern .Every item called for this concern to be shared . Finally statement of Home Minister acted as the last straw and so after along time wrote to the Editor.
Hope it finds favour.

Sir,
Death Anniversary of assassins of Indira Gandhi celebrated , Memorial to honour martyrs  of Ops Blue Star being constructed in Golden temple,Gen Brar attacked in London , Assassins of Gen Vaidya honoured and their death anniversary celebrated. Honourable Home Minister stating "Institutions have some constitutional rights .  Memorial to honour martyrs  of Ops Blue Star being constructed in Golden temple is there internal matter and Government of India will not interfere".
These are some of the news items to appear in last few days. The trend being indicated by such news items  clearly spell out danger signals, Of all these items what must cause greatest concern and worry is the statement made by no less authority than the Home Minister of India about " not interfering in the matter". It is conveniently forgotten that those killed in ops Blue Star were militants and terrorists they had desecrated the holiest of Sikh shrine . They had declared war against Indian Nation , threatening the sovereignty of India . They were no martyrs and only gullible innocent persons or persons with mischief in their heart will consider them as Martyrs.It is shocking to say that  Government of India & Its Home Minister have not learnt any lessons from history.How can any one forget Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. and the darkest period of a decade when militancy ruled and ruined the prosperous state of Punjab and thousands of innocents lost their lives.The trend indicated by these development call for immediate suitable and necessary actions by  moderate and sane thinking citizens of India in general and Punjab in particularly . Government of India, and  the Home Minister must not take cover under unacceptable excuses and  be a mute spectator of these dangerous developments. If no action is taken now the history may repeat itself.

PM Velankar, Nagpur.
