Amritsar: Dal Khalsa hits out at aggression by Israel and mute spectator role of the United Nations. In a hard hitting statement issued here today, Dal Khalsa has alleged that world powers backing and supporting Israel have wittingly or unwittingly contributed in reducing UN to a redundant body.
United Nations Headquarters
The Sikh organisation reminded and regretted that how UN remained mute spectator even when Sikhs faced genocidal attempts and persecution in India in 1984.
Kanwar Pal Singh, political secretary of pro-freedom Sikh organisation took strong exception to the sorry state of affairs at the global platform.
He said the audacity with which the Israel Foreign Minister has declared UN Secretary-General António Guterres a persona-non-grata and has banned him from entering Israel, needs to be condemned in a strongest words. This is something disgusting and shouldn’t be taken it lightly by the international community, he argued.

With no let up in Israeli aggression against Palestinians and the recent increase in deadly attacks including targeted killings in Lebanon and Iran, West Asia is on edge, said the political secretary of the organisation.
On India’s approach towards Israel-Palestinian conflict, he said like Russia-Ukraine war, in this case too, PM Narendra Modi lacked political will to call a spade a spade. ‘Double standards on contentious issues had become a hallmark of Indian polity’.
Posing serious questions, Dal Khalsa has asked, What is the UN looking for? What is UN upto? Why countries that don’t back Israel’s genocidal policies speak out in the language that Israeli leadership understands?
Dal Khalsa unequivocally condemns Israel’s destructive policies and practices towards its neighbours and advocate statehood and sovereignty for Palestinians.
