Cooperation of Sangat needed for education of the grandchildren of Shaheed Singh

Shaheed Bhai Ajit Singh Qadian became the victim of government torture of Punjab Police during the current Sikh struggle. Punjab Police had martyred them in 1992 by making a fake police competition.

Due to the financial weakness in the family, the support of the sangat is needed for the education of Sahjbir Singh and Avneet Kaur, the grandson of Bhai Ajit Singh Qadian, who is still a ninth standard student.

Earlier Sangat had helped Bhai Sahib's family through Sikh Relief and even now we request Sangat's to help the family more to pay school fees for the education of these children of Shaheed family.

We will be thankful to you.

Congratulations to the Sikh Panth
~ Arvinder Singh Mitha is free at last
Sikh Relief is happy to share the news with everyone that Bhai Arvinder Singh aka Mitha Singh has been released from prison today.
He was sentenced to a life sentence in 2020, having been convicted of waging war against the Union States of India without any evidence beyond the possession of books and pictures of historical significance in relation to Sikhi, the current Sikh struggle and the biographies of prominent Sikhs.
Sikh Relief’s Sevadar and lawyer, Parminder Singh Amloh, and Adv Kulwinder Kaur were present to receive him along with Arvinder Singh's mother.
All at Sikh Relief offer our congratulates him and his family on the release of Bhai Arvinder Singh Mitha and remain grateful for the Guru’s infinite Grace.

Dear Sangat jee,

We have had further update from Bibi Rajbir Kaur, a young Sikh sister whose husband has spent several years in Punjab Prison. Though he has come out on bail, the very serious nature of the case and charge remain pending.

Sikh Relief with Sangat’s goodwill has been supporting this family throughout the prison term, for which the family have expressed much gratitude. Naturally the family has suffered a considerable setback with their main breadwinner being locked away for several years.

Rajbir has admirably risen to the challenges the family face, expressing desire and making efforts to address their economic situation, through opportunity for education/training. She has taken admission at National Institute of Nursing Sangrur at B.Sc Nursing. She is currently a 2nd year student.

It is a 2 year course of study which will give her the opportunity to practice in the nursing profession at home or abroad. This will allow the family to find their feet again and eventually become self sufficient for day to day living.

As Sikhs we are constantly encouraged to strive and better ourselves, become independent in every way possible, and contribute thereafter to society, Guru willing.

This step by Rajbir Kaur is commendable. From a Sikh perspective we encourage all young women to progress in their education/ training to secure a positive future. We strongly believe education is the way forward for our vulnerable and targeted community to stand on its own two feet.

Rajbir Kaur has verified that she has not taken up any offer of employment at this point in time and wishes to continue with her studies.

We humbly appeal to Sangat towards offering dasvandh contribution, to this deserved family, helping the Sikh Kaum, to strengthen day by day.

A small helping hand today will create a Chardi Kala Panth of tomorrow, championed by skilled professional Khalsa.

Bhai Satnam Singh sombere during late wife's funeral
~ returned to prison by authorities after 7 days
Bhai Satnam Singh Rasoolpur stood in sombre silence at the funeral service of his Singhni, Bibi Sukhwinder Kaur.
Serving a life sentence in an Uttar Pardesh jail under India's draconian and globally condemned TADA law, Bhai Satnam Singh was given a special bail to attend the funeral after Sikh Relief's Snr Adv, Colin Gonsalves had successfully argued for his freedom at India's Supreme Court.
Bhai Satnam Singh was seen to visit the Gurdwara each day in peaceful serenity for the seven days he was at liberty to, both morning and evening. Thanking Akal Purakh for blessing his returning home after six years, he was grateful to visit the Gurughar as there isn't a Gurdwara in Moradabad Jail.
Being among the children, his family and all friends and relatives gave a huge comfort to him and it was a radiance that he shared and spread among all present.
As Bhai Satnam Singh's time to return to jail approached, the children's smiles were also fading. With tears in theor eyes and lumps in theor throats each person hugged him tight and prayed to the Almighty One for him to return home soon.
Sikh Relief's Bhai Parminder Singh Amloh had spent time with the family also and consoled members during Bhai Sahib's return to jail. Sikh Relief continues to work tirelessly for the freedom of all Sikh Prisoners of Conscience and will forever been indebted to the Guru's Grace and the blessing of the Sangat for their unwavering support.

Gurjeet Singh Nijjar
Detained by the authorities in Cyprus and questioned under the watchful eye of the National Investigation Agency of India, Gurjeet Singh Nijjar was eventually put on a plane and deported.
His wife Rajwant Kaur told Sikh Relief that he was arrested and was taken into custody upon his arrival at Delhi's International Airport 22nd December 2020, he was questioned by the NIA and swiftly taken to Mumbai before eventually being transferred to the custody of the Panjab Police 21st February.
A whirlwind 2 months of darkness, confusion, unfounded allegations, deportation, more accusations and finally being incarcerated at the Ludhiana Jail facility, finds the family of Gurjeet Singh facing the disturbing uncertainty of what will happen to them in the absence of the sole breadwinner of their home.
Whilst Sikh Relief is providing monthly family support to Gurjeet Singh, we are appeal to the Guru Piyari Sadh Sangat Ji to help fight his on going cases in Panjab and Mombi .

Illegally deported from Malaysia
~ Bhai Taranbir Singh and his family's struggle continues

Bhai Taranbir Singh was simply pursuing his dream, as many thousands of Panjabi's before him, to earn enough money to establish financial security for his family in a foreign land as he arrived in Malaysia at the age of 24.

It was going well until he was arrested by Malaysian police in June 2019 and detained for 14 days at the request of the Indian authorities. Only by violating their own immigration laws were the Malaysian police able to hand over Taranbir Singh to the immigration police, detained for a further 45 days, Taranbir Singh was eventually deported to India.

Once deported to India, Taranbir Singh was first interrogated at the Delhi airport and then handed over to the notorious Panjab Police.

The family described how Bhai Taranbir Singh was remanded into the custody of the Panjab Police for 5 days remand after filing a false case under the Prevention of Illegal Activities Act (UAPA) and sent to Amritsar Jail where he remains until today.

Sikh Relief continue supporting Bhai Taranbir Singh's family through these insufferable times. We do this only with the grace of the Guru and his beautiful Sangat, we humbly request you continue to bless us to deliver this seva to the Panth.
