Radio Pakistan says, Sikhs not given their rights since independence!


Radio Pakistan in its recent Punjabi Durbar programme said that the Sikh community had been denied the rights promised to it.

The allegations were made recently, when the world fraternity watched how the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance received a huge public mandate and chose Dr. Manmohan Singh, a Sikh, for the post of the prime minister of the country for a second time.

The allegation that the Sikhs have not got their due, looks all the more surprising when one looks at Punjab where an Akali Dal-led Government is in power, the former Army Chief General J.J. Singh is Governor of Arunachal, and the Planning Commission is headed by Montek Singh Ahluwalia, and Surjit Singh Barnala has been a senior Minister in the Government and is presently the Governor of Chennai

The textbooks authored and altered during the 11 years of General Ziaul Haq’s military rule, are still being taught in schools. They are decidedly anti-democratic and inclined to dogmatic tirades, the report said.

Rallies and seminars were organised in various cities to commemorate September 7, 1974, when Ahmadis were declared non-Muslim.

Amjad Shakoor, a teacher at Jamia Ashrafia mosque, told students that whoever murdered an Ahmadi went to paradise. Following teacher’s instruction, some children beat up an Ahmadi child the next day. Local residents informed the police but no legal action was taken.

Government-issued textbooks teach students that Hindus are backward and superstitious, and given a chance, they would assert their power over the weak, especially, Muslims, depriving them of education by pouring molten lead in their ears. “Pakistan Studies textbooks are an active site to represent India as a hostile neighbour,” the report stated. “The story of Pakistan’s past is intentionally written to be distinct from, and often in direct contrast with, interpretations of history found in India. From the government-issued textbooks, students are taught that Hindus are backward and superstitious.”

The report added that students were taught that Islam brought peace, equality, and justice to the subcontinent, to check the sinister ways of Hindus.

“In Pakistani textbooks “Hindus” rarely appears in a sentence without adjective such as politically astute, sly, or manipulative,” the report says.

“Textbooks reflect intentional obfuscation. Today’s students, citizens of Pakistan and its future leaders are the victims of these partial truths,” the report quoted a news article.
