On 39th foundation day, Dal Khalsa reiterates its commitment to peaceful campaign to the complete freedom of Punjab. Kanwar Pal Singh, Kanwarpal Singh, Dal Khalsa leader said, “For us the challenge is to find creative ways of continuing our non-violent struggle notwithstanding the state repression. We wish to pass on the baton of the struggle to our next young generation with a positive message.”

He further said, "We are genuinely worried about the Punjab and safety of its inhabitants. The threats we face are real. There is a nuclear race on our doorsteps. The state is centralising more and more power, and it is becoming more and more Hindu in character. If you look at since the time the British left this region, constitutionally this process has been taking place, as well as administratively it's been taking place. So the direction, in which the current Indian state under Narendra Modi is transforming, is towards more centralisation and more Hinduization. That is the only transformational project that is taking place today. The march towards Hindu rashtra has already begun under Sangh Parivar."

On the other hand, for New Delhi, there exist no Sikh aspirations. Branding it as a law and order problem, New Delhi founded police solution to otherwise political problem of Punjab. All talks of Indian leadership including present PM that only dialogue can end conflicts are farce meant to hoodwink civil society and divert international opinion about it. We believe that without a permanent solution to Punjab and Kashmir problems, there can be no lasting peace and harmony in this region.
