Anonymous wrote:President Clinton places the blame squarely on Hindu militants, not
on the so-called Kashmiri Muslims that the Indian government tried to
blame for the massacre. In 2002, the Washington Times reported that the
government finally admitted its responsibility and admitted that the
evidence that it used to pin the blame on Kashmiris was false.
Reporter Barry Bearak of the New York Times also placed the blame
squarely on the Indian government, as did two independent
investigations, one by the International Human Rights Organization,
which is based in Ludhiana, and the other conducted jointly by the
Punjab Human Rights Organization and the Movement Against State
Repression. The evidence is overwhelming, yet Indian sycophants
continue to deny the government's responsibility.
Unfortunately, this massacre would have been swept under the rug if
not for the outstanding efforts of the organizations mentioned above
and of the Council of Khalistan, which has painstakingly documented any
new developments. I am indebted to them for bringing this to my
attention.
The massacre was part of a pattern of repression of minorities that
has brought about the murders of over 250,000 Sikhs, more than 300,000
Christians in Nagaland alone, over 90,000 Muslims in Kashmir alone, and
Christians and Muslims throughout the country, as well as tens of
thousands of Assamese, Bodos, Dalits, Manipuris, Tamils, and other
minorities. This is one reason that it is essential to cut off our aid
and trade to India and to demand a free and fair plebiscite in Punjab,
Khalistan, in Kashmir, in Nagalim, and wherever people are seeking
their freedom. This is the only way to bring freedom, peace, stability,
and dignity to all the people of south Asia.
I would like to introduce the press release from the Council of
Khalistan on Secretary Albright's book into the Record at this time.
That’s from twenty years ago.
