Sant Jarnail Singh

Hello,

My name Gurmukh Singh and I believe in Khalistan and I do not agree with how the text is very one-sided.Under the editing section, Wikipedia has kindly asked us to edit this article so that it is not one-sided. However I see the terms terrorist,radical and militant. Calling sant ji a terrorist was not the cleverest move. I personally think that he wasn't one and so do the vast mojority of Sikhs. The indian Government said that the was a terrorist from the years leading up to 84 due to the fact that he was gave a number of fiery speeches. If making a fiery speech makes you a terrorist then there surely are many terrorists in this world. Does this make Shakespeare a terrorist? Does it make a member of parliment a terrorist? The answer to these- NO.

The author/editor of this inacurate article have incorrectly stated that Sant Bindranwale wished for Khalistan however in an interview in 1983 when he was asked about this he said- "I am not against Khalistan, niether am I for it. If we are given it however we will take it."

I aslo notice how there were few if not no mentions of the many rapes and murders that wre commited against Sikhs in the 10 years after 1984. I would like to see this changed.

Really wishing for a debate cuz im real bored in lockdown. Stay safe Neverforegt84 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neverforget84 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Claims on Pakistan

Khalistan movement has no credible claims on Pakistan, this POV is pushed by Indian nationalist and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.175.178.17 (talk) 03:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Such is the political, psychological and religious attachment of the Sikhs to that city that a Khalistan without Lahore would be like a Germany without Berlin."</ref> as well as other areas of both countries, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Sindh in Pakistan; and Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and parts of Jammu and Kashmir, and Rajasthan in India.[3][4] Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan, according to Jagjit Singh Chohan, had proposed to make Nankana Sahib (currently in Pakistan) the capital of Khalistan during his talks with Chohan following the conclusion of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.[5]"

The first is an opinion of an author and not a realistic claim by the Khalistani moment. The second is a recounting of a claim that the Khalistan movement would be based in Nankana Sahib, not that Nankana Sahib would be the capital of a Khalistan state.
