WSN ed­i­tor Jag­mo­han Singh tells the In­dian Na­tional Con­gress party lead­er­ship that Ka­mal Nath will go the Kurt Wald­heim way and his­tory will bear tes­ti­mony to this.

In an­other chal­lenge to the Sikhs, Ka­mal Nath of the Con­gress party has been nom­i­nated to be the Chief Min­is­ter of the In­dian state of Mad­hya Pradesh where the party de­feated the three times Chief Min­is­ter of the BJP –Shiv­raj Chauhan by a ra­zor-thin mar­gin.

Like his fa­ther Ra­jiv Gandhi, the pre­sent Con­gress chief Rahul Gandhi has again teased the Sikhs by cat­a­pult­ing Ka­mal Nath to the high pedestal of chief min­is­ter of an In­dian state, clearly sig­nalling that he gives a damn about the feel­ings of Sikhs.

Ka­mal Nath is a face which the Sikhs can­not for­get. The im­age of Ka­mal Nath stand­ing on the Par­lia­ment Street out­side the his­toric Gur­d­wara Rak­ab­ganj in New Delhi haunts the Sikhs.

Ka­mal Nath is a name which Sikhs will al­ways re­mem­ber, even if he shifts from New Delhi to Bhopal. The his­tory of con­tem­po­rary In­dia will not be writ­ten with­out a men­tion of how Ka­mal Nath cheated and lied to the In­dian quasi-ju­di­cial com­mis­sions of en­quiry re­gard­ing his in­volve­ment in the bar­baric killing of a Sikh fa­ther and son out­side the his­toric Rak­ab­ganj Sahib Gur­d­wara in No­vem­ber 1984.

Ka­mal Nath’s bi­og­ra­phy will not be com­plete with­out the men­tion of the In­dian Ex­press re­porter San­jay Suri’s eye­wit­ness ac­count of Ka­mal Nath’s pres­ence out­side the his­toric Gur­d­wara with a mob of Con­gress party lumpens and a posse of dumb po­lice­men on that ill-fated day.  Ka­mal Nath’s de­po­si­tion which was full of lies be­fore the Ran­ganath Mishra Com­mis­sion and how the Com­mis­sion ig­nored San­jay Suri’s ac­count shows that ethics and truth­ful­ness does not mat­ter. For the record, the party had ap­plauded for­mer Jus­tice Rana­gath Mishra with a nom­i­na­tion to the up­per house of the In­dian Par­lia­ment for his bla­tant bias in favour of the Con­gress dur­ing the Com­mis­sion pro­ceed­ings.

Ka­mal Nath fo­cuses on de­vel­op­ment in his area of Chind­wara and is a nine-time Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment from that con­stituency. He is the blue-eyed boy of the de-facto Con­gress chief So­nia Gandhi and was very close to Ra­jiv Gandhi and his cousin -Arun Nehru, the ar­chi­tects of the No­vem­ber 1984 geno­cide plans against the Sikhs.

With this move, itt is quite ev­i­dent that the In­dian Na­tional Con­gress of the Gandhi dy­nasty is in no mood to bury the hatchet with the Sikhs.  Sprin­kling salts on wounds comes eas­ily to the Con­gress.

The cur­rent phase of the Indo-Sikh bat­tle, which started in 1984 is far from over. It is only 34 years old.  The Sikhs are learn­ing the ropes at the in­ter­na­tional front.

Ka­mal Nath and the In­dian Na­tional Con­gress will do well to re­mem­ber what hap­pened to Aus­trian pres­i­dent and UN Sec­re­tary Gen­eral Kurt Joseph Wald­heim. His guilt was never fully es­tab­lished as he was a cold blooded liar. Same is the case with Ka­mal Nath.

The United States had de­clared Kurt Wald­heim as per­sona non grata. For the Sikh na­tion, the Ka­mal Naths and Gand­his will al­ways be per­sona non grata. Will the UN or the US or any other coun­try do the same with Ka­mal Nath too? Sikhs will keep a watch.
