Dear NRIs:
The day, Sonia Gandhi announced the appointment of Dr. Manmohan Singh
as Prime Minister of India, most of the NRIs around the world has only
one voice... "now India is on right track". NRIs are looking
for today and tomorrow and not what ever happened in the past . Sonia
Gandhi set up a example in the world that she is looking a future of
India by giving chair to Mr. Singh who is always a quiet, unassuming
personality, out of the spotlight Singh faded into the background. Sonia
Gandhi will be a winner always because:
-
After taking charge of the party
in 1998, Sonia Gandhi went around Sikh places of worship
- gurdwaras - in Delhi apologizing for the riots. "I
feel this kind of incident should not have happened," Sonia
Gandhi told the Sikhs. "And my husband Rajiv Gandhi felt the
same."
- Hailing the decision of Congress president Sonia
Gandhi to appoint Manmohan Singh as prime minister, the
Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) said her act would
serve as a soothing balm on the "wounded" Sikh psyche after
the 1984 riots....... Amritsar, May 20, 2004
- This action of Sonia Gandhi has applied balm on the deep wounds
of Sikhs masses after 'Operation Blue Star' and the anti-Sikh riots
of '84
Only time will tell if Manmohan Singh is able to assuage
the "hurt" feelings of the Sikhs as Congress has "not
been" favorable towards the community.
"We, NRIs congratulate Manmohan Singh. As a person
we are happy with him. He is not vindictive. But the result in future
will depend on his actions.
It is claimed that Sikhs have now forgotten the wounds
inflicted by the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 was wrong, "riots cannot
be forgotten". NRIs would judge the new Prime Minister by his ability
to ensure the guilty were given exemplary punishment.
Do you think a new chapter would open for Sikhs due
to the elevation of Manmohan Singh? or a Sikh becoming the PM on behalf
of the Congress does not mean that the balm has been applied on their
(Sikhs) wounds.
"it would be better if Manmohan Singh apologize
for the riots on behalf of Congress". said NRI
We, NRIs are not against or in favor of Congress
or BJP or any other party, we like to see who
is changing to democratic model from colonial model.
