Pub­lished in 2008, this is a scathing at­tack on KPS Gill for his clean chit to Naren­dra Mod­i’s in­volve­ment in the 2002 anti-Mus­lim car­nage in Gu­jarat.

AMRIT­SAR: In a strong re­ac­tion to the re­ported clean chit by for­mer DGP Pun­jab KPS Gill to Gu­jarat Chief Min­is­ter Naren­dra Modi on his in­volve­ment in the anti-Mus­lim car­nage of 2002, Dal Khalsa de­nounced the sym­pa­thetic tone of KPS Gill as the “devil quot­ing scrip­tures”.

“It is clearly a case of one per­pe­tra­tor pat­ting an­oth­er’s back as the hands of both Modi and Gill are soaked in the blood of in­no­cents.” said Kan­warpal Singh in a hard-hit­ting state­ment re­leased to me­dia here to­day. Gill, who him­self is in the dock for car­ry­ing out ex­tra-con­sti­tu­tional and il­le­gal op­er­a­tions in the name of fight­ing mil­i­tancy in Pun­jab, has no moral right to make such sweep­ing state­ments.”

“KPS Gill is not the ‘para­mount po­lice which his bi­og­ra­pher, the In­dian me­dia and the In­dian es­tab­lish­ment want to por­tray and want the peo­ple to be­lieve, in­stead he is a “Franken­stein mon­ster” who is yet to be ar­raigned be­fore law for his di­rect and in­di­rect com­plic­ity in the pre-med­i­tated in­vol­un­tary mur­ders of in­no­cent Sikh youth who strug­gled for pro­tect­ing and up­hold­ing the dis­tinct iden­tity of the Sikhs in the eight­ies of the last cen­tury””

Like the Jews who con­tinue to hunt for Nazi killers and per­pe­tra­tors of crimes against hu­man­ity, we too will con­tinue to haunt KPS Gill, till we see him be­hind bars. In­dian civil so­ci­ety will do well to rise above Love for Gill.  

Tak­ing a very strong ex­cep­tion to the re­ported state­ment of Jag­bani ed­i­tor Vi­jay Ku­mar Chopra’s com­par­i­son of KPS Gill with Sikh war­rior Hari Singh Nalwa, Kan­warpal Singh said, “This is dis­gust­ing, his­tor­i­cally wrong and is like rub­bing salt on our wounds. Shri Chopra must apol­o­gize to the Sikhs for his bizarre com­par­i­son.”

Strik­ing a re­tal­ia­tory note, Kan­warpal Singh said, “I am sur­prised and shocked that Shri Chopra has for­got­ten lessons of con­tem­po­rary his­tory and has cho­sen to play with our emo­tions as was done by his fa­ther in the early eight­ies.”
