ViruRulez Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Towns in Punjab remained tense on Monday morning after a night of violence on Sunday by members of a Dalit Sikh sect protesting a clash in a gurudwara in Austria's capital Vienna. District authorities in Jalandhar, which saw the maximum violence, requisitioned the army and the Border Security Force (BSF) late Sunday night even as the Punjab Police was out on the streets in full force to control the rampaging mobs belonging to the Sachh Khand sect, followers of Guru Ravi Dass Sabha. The entire Doaba belt (the area between rivers Sutlej and Beas) comprising Jalandhar, Phagwara, Nawanshahr and Hoshiarpur towns were tense throughout the night. Jalandhar and Phagwara were the worst hit areas. Unrest was also reported from the industrial city of Ludhiana, 60 km from Jalandhar. Although no one was injured in the clashes, scores of public and private vehicles were set ablaze by the protestors in Jalandhar and Phagwara. A State Bank of India ATM was also set ablaze in Jalandhar. Many people were stranded on the roads after the violence broke out. On Sunday, at least 11 people were injured in a fight between two rival factions of the Sikh community at a Gurudwara in the Austrian capital. Some of the injured were in a critical condition, the Austrian police said. The incident took place during a sermon by two guest gurus from India. According to reports, several bearded and turbaned men equipped with at least one firearm stormed the shrine during sermon. In the melee, members of the congregation pounced upon the attackers and overpowered them, beating some severely. Meanwhile, the security has been beefed up in several parts of Punjab after the protestors went on a rampage. Curfew has been imposed in Jalandhar, which continued Monday morning, even though the police claimed the situation was brought under control. "The situation turned bad and we have requisitioned the army, BSF and the Punjab Armed Police units to control the situation," said Sanjiv Kalra, inspector general of police (IG), Jalandhar range. The protestors also clashed with the police at some places in Jalandhar. The protestors blocked roads and highways around Jalandhar and in the nearby industrial town of Phagwara. "It is a very serious situation. Curfew has been imposed in Jalandhar City following the violence. Road and rail traffic has been affected," Kalra told IANS. Railway traffic through Jalandhar, including the New Delhi-Amritsar Shatabdi train, was affected as protestors blocked rail tracks. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal condemned the Vienna incident and urged people in Punjab to remain peaceful. He urged the central government to take up the matter with the Austrian government so that the guilty were punished. The government blacked out the television news channels in the state to ensure that the violence did not spread to other parts after seeing the images on TV. Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar also condemned the Vienna attack and urged people to maintain peace in Punjab I really hate this thing. Indians fighting with Indians just for the sake of a sect, religious group etc. ( Hope that this ends soon. And why did a fight in Austria result in such havoc in India. It happened thousands of miles away and there was fight in India for a fight there. (
ViruRulez Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Latest news according to news channels. Three bogies of a train was burnt by the protestors right now. But I still dont understand why are they protesting for something that happened in Vienna, Austria. How is India or Punjab responsible for an incident in Vienna. :((

Its unfortunate but we have to accept that such things happen and will keep happening for some more time to come. We will have to sit and watch our fellow Indians do this on the name of religion and sect again and again. I will be happy if this thing stops in my lifetime.

Guest Hiten. Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Why do they have to indulge in arson when the ***ing incident took place in Austria ? What has it got to do with India ? ***ing emotional fools.

What has it got to do with India ? ***ing emotional fools. that is what I am really getting pissed off.. the protestors are burning cars etc. in punjab and attacking people... but what has this to do with India when the incident occured in Austria.. if they protested in Vienna that would have made sense but the Punjabis in Austria and neighbouring country UK are silent but the Indian Punjabis have started protesting and are indulging in violence :((
Dirty_South Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I bet that only the Politicians and Media tell we r a very secular country and all that bull....but Indians hate Indians....thats the FACT. And as long as this caste/religion thing goes on we can never be a gr8 country..... Russell Peters rightly said - Al Qaeda hates America....Indians hate Indians...hahaha...so true...
DomainK Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah right, use brains like the Brahmins did in the past, eat pure ghee food at the homes of poor people while doing some useless pooja, all in the name of caste bullshyt while the poor man's family's kids are starving. and you guys are talking about caste divide, the Brahmins are real culprits, :finger: you are a racist :--D where did Brahmins come from Indians are Indians thats it :isalute: I'm not racist' date=' just telling you the root cause for today's caste problems. the seeds were sown long time ago by the 'learned' and 'educated' ones...:winky:[/quote'] Stop this blame game. The more you get into the past, the less likely you are to get out of it.
Kohum Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Stop this blame game. The more you get into the past' date=' the less likely you are to get out of it.[/quote'] Very aptly put. All the discussion above adds very little value [if any] to the existing problem. As it is, one can't figure out why the protestors resort to arson, over this or a death [like it happened in bengaluru].
Kohum Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 you are a racist :--D where did Brahmins come from Indians are Indians thats it :isalute: Khudako kyaa symonds kaa descendent yaa ancestor samjhaa hai kyaa be tu?

Ram Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 we all know what the truth is' date=' mods like you can use your power, there is nothing much a regular poster can do about it, I can only speak truth and get banned[/quote'] I think its my duty to inform you that we have a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy on slander based on national, cultural, racial, linguistic or caste or any other man-made divisions. Its comforting to know that you yourself are aware of this thing will logically conclude, if you continue preaching your 'truths'. So, the choice is entirely yours. Happy posting!
mainhoonna Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 now they have attacked police officers and even attacked the jeep of IG of Punjab police .. it is simply ridiculous .. I have a lot of punjabi friends but sometimes I feel the "sardaro ki band buddhi" wala kahawat is true .. last year also such a lot of people started fghting due to dera saccha sauda thing now news channels are showing even women protesting moving in the streets andj joining the arson.. are they illiterate or what .. fighting over something that happened in Austria :(( I had no idea there was a sardaron ki band buddhi wali kahawat.The things one learns on a forum about one's fellow indians and what they think of you.thoda vistaar se bataynge about this kahawat.
DomainK Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I respect that' date=' I just was not happy with post#9 by dirty_south, he could've done better than that post.[/quote'] I dont see whats wrong with his post. Your reply however was not very sophisticated.
ViruRulez Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Guys lets end this fight. I hope that people use their brains before doing anything. I am sad that there is any violence in Punjab and India for something that happened thousands of miles away at Vienna, Austria. It simply does not make any sense. Violence in any form is not acceptable and that too when people from Punjab or India did not have any role in the incident. It is distressing and hope all people realizes that these are foolish acts and act wisely instead. Meanwhile there was curfew in many places in Punjab and the situation is under control as per reports.
Cricketics Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 these sankhi people who don't have any job or don't have any work to do, involve themself in these big parades and protests and fights.. damn it..
