Under article 396 IPC Ajay Singh to be hanged till death
Under article 412 IPC Chhotibai to be imprisoned for 7 years and pay Rs. 2000/- as fine
Our plea :
- The sentence should be converted to imprisonment instead of hanging, till the case is finally decided by the Supreme Court.
- The case should be re-opened in High Court and in case of failure it should be appealed in the Supreme Court.
- S. Ajay Singh’s hair has been cut forcefully. As he is a sikh , he should be allowed to keep his hair and live a sikh life .
- The younger brother of Sonu Sardar & Ajay Singh , aged 7 years name Kakke was tortured to death , in front of his mother . On 28th Nov. 2004, the police party came searching for Sonu Sardar & Ajay Singh . Sonu’ s mother & mother in law were sitting together at Sonu’s in laws house in Sanjay Nagar, Amlai. The police beat both the ladies Smt. Phulbai – Sonu’s mother & Smt. Munnibai – Sonu’s mother in law. And , also they kicked the 7 yr. old , younger brother Kakke . The policemen beat the young boy with their hands and fists , till he fell unconscious. The policmen went away after threatening the family. Seeing this , Sonu’s mother & mother in law decided to shift to Sanjay Nagar, Amlai immediately as the police were after their life, but when they reached the Railway Station , police threw their belongings on the platform , and also threw their unconscious son on the platform. The lady pleaded , that they let them go, as they had already beat their son to make him unconscious, but the police left their belongings on the railway station along with their unconscious son and took the ladies to the police station, there they were made to sign some document, which they don’t know about , as they are illiterate.
When , they came back to the railway station , their son was still lying there, they boarded the next train to Sanjay Nagar, Amlai and on the way to Amlai , their son died. After , they reached Amlai, the police again followed them and forced them , that they cremate the dead body in the night itself. But, they waited till morning , and cremated the body next morning with the help of Mrs. Meena Singh and others of Sanjay Nagar, Amlai. A case has been filed against the concerned policeman ASI Pradyumana Tiwari responsible, but the case is pending in the High Court and more details are awaited. - The INTUC General Secretary , Shri Gulab Mishra who is a known figure in that area has written to the Indian Human Rights Commision and spent Rs. 50-60 thousand till date to fight this case of Kakke aged 7 years , against ASI Pradyumana Tiwari . He told me over the phone that around 11 arrest warrants are pending against this ASI Pradyumana Tiwari , but due to his closeness to political figures in the state , he is still out and bullying around the public.
All ages mentioned are as in Feb 2008

If a licensing official tells you to take off or lift your turban for a photo id, you have the right to say no. - Tell the licensing official that you always wear your turban,it is a religious requirement, and that it is part of your everyday appearance.- If the licensing official states that you cannot obtain a license without removing your turban, or prints “not valid for identification on the license,” write down the details ofthe incident (date, location, what happened), official’s information (name, id number, and phone), and ask for a copy of the specific guidelines the official is following.

Earlier this month, UNITED SIKHS asked you to join an initiative to report discriminatory practices when obtaining photograph identification. Thanks to your continued diligence and concern, we have received two reports of discriminatory practices in South Carolina, in addition to the previously reported incident in Washington State.In South Carolina, two Sikh gentlemen were asked on separate occasions to remove their turbans for their driver’slicenses. The two Sikhs protested and firmly refused to remove their turbans, repeatedly explaining the significance of the turban and how it is part of their daily appearance.While the South Carolina officials continued to express that it was against their policy to allow any headdress in the photographs, the officials eventually relented and both gentlemen received their licenses, wearing their turbans as usual. UNITEDSIKHS is pursuing a dialogue with the Department of Motor Vehicles in South Carolina and with State representatives to ensure that a proper policy is instituted to protect Sikh religious rights in South Carolina.In a letter to the Director of the Department of Licensing in Washington State regarding the incident dealing with a Sikh gentleman who was issued a license that was "Not Valid for Identification, " UNITED SIKHS highlighted the significance of the turban for Sikhs and how it is part of the Sikh identity. The letter also expressed that biometric standards used by the federal government allowed headpieces worn daily for religious purposes, like the turban, so long as they do not shadow or obscure a person's face. According to UNITED SIKHS Staff Attorney Jaspreet Singh, "In no way does a turban interfere with the identification procedure, nor does it violate any standard for identification. To claim that a turban does indeed do either of these things is discrimination. "UNITED SIKHS asks that you continue to report incidents involving you, your family, and your community so that we are able to continue to collate important data to be furnished to the proper authorities, as well as to pursue specific incidences of discrimination to ensure that your rights are protected.

We hope you must be knowing Sickelcell is a hereditary disease very prevalent in Chhattisgarh. In this disease, the diseased can be a carrier or patient. If a person is a carrier and he marries another carrier or patient, the offspring will not survive in 80% cases. So, we are helping people know if they are sickle cell patients or carriers, to they don’t marry another patient or carrier, and even if they have to, we have medicines suggested from the Doctor. In all we got 8-10 Sickelcell patients. Eye patients entry was 208, dental-50 & blood checkup 148.

Gurudware Committee te logan da kabja
Pyare Veeron,
Aajkal bahut dekhan te aa reya hai ki gurudware committian logan noo hor door hee kar riyaan ne. kuch limited members hee apnee chala rahe ne, they are limited members and each year or two they will make one of them their pardhaaan. committees are busy calling expensive raagi singhs and paying them lakhs of rupees out the golak, which is sangat's hard earned money. instead we should send that money in social work or constructive work , like helping our poor sikh brothers to come up in life. like i have heard christians or bohras have a common social fund, where in money is available interest free or at nominal interest rate.
In bilaspur also, we have guru nanak school shikshan committee , dayal band & guru singh sabha , dayalband. both these committes have got limited members, and there is no participation of a common sikh like us, who is not a member of any of these committees.
We are working individually as Bilaspur Circle , of Sikh Missionary College and running Social Service Projects, Book Stalls at different places wherever Gurpurab is being celebrated.
Jaago mere veeron, agar assi , aese hee hath te hath rakh ke baithe rahange, te committee waleyan ne sirf buildingaaan hee banania ne, hor mahnge to mahnge raagi singha noo bula ke paise barbaad karne ne. assee hor lokan noo vee aware karna hai ki , instead NGO banake , Guru Nanak ji dee seekh mutabik " NAAM JAP, WAND CHHAK & KEERAT KAR" , noo sach kar dikhana hai.
