There has been a lot going on for the last week and I understand sentiments have been hurt. I want to start off by saying that I apologise to all of you for terming the case in Kashmir as a “minor” issue and for not aggressively voicing my disdain for “grooming” and even more (1)
so for “pedophilia”. No where in my conscience would I condone such behaviours and anyone that believes so is gravely mistaken. Grooming is a criminal offence.
The fact remains that when the discourse on the Manmeet case started we were unaware of ages and not very clear on (2)

"Every single one of the resolutions introduced by Garamendi and other Sikh Caucus members has died in committee. (con't)
SIKH CAUCUS Siege in Delhi, Surrender in Washington @FriedrichPieter #SikhCaucus
Moreover, only a fraction of the Caucus has ever even supported the resolutions, all of which have been focused on entirely non-controversial domestic issues."
After he spearheaded passage of Connecticut's 1984 resolution, Swarnjit Singh Khalsa discussed the issue of a national resolution in an interview with Pawan Singh on his show "My Show, My Life."

"Our voices are already at federal level," noted Swarnjit Singh. "If we push it a little bit more further, I think we can easily get it declared at the national level."
Let's chat about the Sikh Caucus. So what's a caucus? A Congressional caucus is a group of members of the U.S. Congress who agree to throw their support behind a particular interest, or a specific community. (1/8)
The group representing the community's concerns and interests reaches out and initiates the process and sets the ball in motion and a caucus is created (2/8)

Hello Mr @outlawedtweet07! I usually don't respond to fake accounts but I couldn't resist this unique opportunity to educate the world on narratives. Let's start! To begin with, the "Khalistan" movement never existed. It was created by the Indian Government. (Cont)
They did this to discredit Sant Jarnail Singh Bindrawale. Why? Because he was speaking about the welfare of Punjab and its people. He was speaking on the rights of the people who live in Punjab. He spoke about the importance of Sikh history, language, art, and literature.

Let’s talk about the original Kisaan Anthem, ‘Pagdi Sambhal Jatta’!
Sardar Ajit Singh, Uncle of Sardar Bhagat Singh, spearheaded the “Pagdi Sambhal Jatta” movement in 1907, to protest 3 farm laws enacted by the British.
#Pagdi_Sambhal_Jatta #FarmersProtest
The movement got its name on March 22, 1907, at a meeting in Lyallpur where Lala Banke Dayal, editor of Jhang Sayal, recited his poem “Pagdi Sambhal Jatta.”
The protests lasted 9 months and ended with a complete repeal of all three laws.
Hey @nstomar, have you read the bills? If not, lets start talking! I find the gaslighting abominable. And we're not asking for an amendment. We're asking for a full repeal.
and how about you take your head out of your behind and go look at the crowds. #FarmersProtest
1. Bill does not allow the farmer to approach the court. If there is a dispute, SDM will decide. If the decision is not acceptable then the farmer must approach the Joint Secretary of central govt.
a. Imagine 2-acre farmer putting a fight with Corporations or SDM or Joint Sec

Hello! Let's talk MSP! What is MSP? Simply put, minimum support price is an agricultural product price, set by the GOI to purchase directly from the farmer. #MSPLawForAllCrops #FarmersProtest
MSP was created to ensure a minimum profit for the farmer in case the market price was below the cost of harvesting produce. GOI set prices for 23 commodities twice a year #MSPLawForAllCrops #FarmersProtest

Let’s talk farming and fertilisers! So green revolution onwards, Punjab had a heavy dependency on fertilisers. Chemicals were heavily used in fertilisers which were so heavily used in farming that they didn’t just remain in the soil, (con't)
#farmersprotest
they also leached into the waterway systems. And of course, in Punjab, everyone uses wells right? So all the drinking water was polluted with dozens of chemicals that are harmful. This is why Punjab (Malwa region especially) has such a high rate of cancer. #FarmersProtest

Let's talk corporates! Namely PepsiCo!
In the early 90's PepsiCo wanted to see soft drinks in India. At that time, only CocoCola had managed to get into the Indian market and they had pretty much taken over. #FarmersMakeIndia #FarmersProtest
GOI set the condition, that PepsiCo must also open up a food processing plants in India. So, PepsiCo moved into Punjab and set up contracts with local farmers for tomatoes and chilli which they were able to use for their sister company PizzaHut. #FarmersMakeIndia #FarmersProtest

Dear @swamy39, you seemed like someone with a decent amount of literacy in a party full of imbeciles. Propagating the narrative below is beneath you. I highly advise you to check yourself. The below has absolutely no truth to it. #FarmersProtest
There is no connection between Sikhism and Hinduism. Sikhism is an INDEPENDENT religion. Completely. This is a great example of the RSS agenda to some how make it a sect of Hinduism. And they have Harvard graduates propagating it. SHAME ON YOU @Swamy39! #FarmersProtest

"People describe the farmer as the lord of grains, but no one sees whether he, himself eats or not. It is the biggest wonder of the world that the one who produces remains hungry. I tell the Raja/Nawab and all types of govt (cont) #RememberSirChhotuRamInModiEra #FarmersProtest
of Hindustan to not harass the farmer to the extent that he stands up..Other people break the law when they get angry, w/ a govt, but when the farmer would get angry, he would not only break the law, he would also break the govt." #RememberSirChhotuRamInModiEra #FarmersProtest
