The citation appeared incorrect - I reviewed the Panjabi text that was cited, cannot find any reference to the claims that were made in this article of Banda Singh killing Muslims indiscriminately. There are several prominent sources such as "The Life and Times of Banda Singh" by Dr Ganda Singh, which describe Banda's enmity with Wazir Khan and the Mughal rulers: not with "Muslims").
