Prabhjot Singh/TNS
Top idealogues of the Khalistan movement in Punjab in the eighties are among 117 persons taken off the blacklist of the Union Home Ministry. Among them are Ganga Singh Dhillon, Ripudaman Singh Malik and Inderjit Singh Reyat, who stood trial in the Kanishka blast case, and president of the International Sikh Students Federation, Satinder Pal Singh Gill.
Others to benefit from the review is the family of top Babbar leader Talwinder Singh Parmar besides several militant leaders like Satnam Singh Babbar, Daya Singh, Ranjit Singh, alias Neeta, Lakhbir Singh Rode, and Mehal Singh, alias Atma, alias Bhai alias Bhatt, alias Jat. The Tribune has the complete list of 142 names that have been deleted from the blacklist. These include 25 names that were deleted in November last.
Interestingly,the names of Paramjit Singh Panjwar, alias Pamma, alias Pinderjit, and Wadhawa Singh Chacha, whose names appear in the list of the top 50 wanted men hiding in Pakistan- also appear in the delete list. The name of late Jagjit Singh Chohan, who died after his return to India, also figures in the list. Thekedar Jaswant Singh and another Kahlistan idealogue Gurmeet Singh Aulakh are also off the blacklist. The complete list of the Sikh NRIs whose names have been deleted from the blacklist was received by the Delhi Gurdwara Management Committee from the Ministry of Home Affairs today.
"When I came to the office this evening, I checked the mail and found this important letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs,” says Paramjit Singh Sarna, president of the DSGMC. "As of now, of rgw 169 Sikh NRIs on the blacklist, 142 names have been taken off because of our persistent efforts,” claims Sarna.
Contrary to the claims by the Punjab Government that it had forced the Home Ministry to review the list, a letter from the Home Ministry to the DSGMC says the review had been done following the directions of the Delhi High Court in response to its writ petition dated February 9,2011.
