Thousand people came to listen and support Mr. Phoolka, despite some wrong elements trying to oppose this rally and telling people not to attend the rally. I don’t know how these people are opposing Mr. Phoolka’s visit and rally. You might have political differences and different opinion on certain issues. But you can’t oppose and criticize Mr. Phoolka’s great work for 1984 Sikh Genocide victim families.

On Saturday, March 5, there was a big rally in Surrey for AAP and respected human rights lawyer H. S. Phoolka.
Thousand people came to listen and support Mr. Phoolka, despite some wrong elements trying to oppose this rally and telling people not to attend the rally. I don’t know how these people are opposing Mr. Phoolka’s visit and rally. You might have political differences and different opinion on certain issues. But you can’t oppose and criticize Mr. Phoolka’s great work for 1984 Sikh Genocide victim families.
Mr. Phoolka the great lawyer who has been fighting hard for 1984 Sikh Genocide victim families for last 31 years. But unfortunately the ruling Congress Govt. that had planned, organized and executed the Genocide, was determined to protect the guilty congress leaders involved in innocent killings. And Justice system is controlled and misused by the ruling Govts. and they don’t allow Justice system to punish the guilty persons. That is why despite Mr. Phoolka fighting hard for 31 years, the guilty congress leaders Tytler, Sajjan Kumar etc. are walking around freely. But Mr. Phoolka is dedicated to his work and trying hard to get those guilty congress leaders punished.
Mr. Phoolka has travelled to many Canadian cities to meet Punjabis living in Canada. This time, the main purpose of his visit to talk to Punjabi families about 2017 elections in Punjab. This time Punjabi voters for first time have a chance to get rid of bad, corrupt congress and Akali parties and leaderships. That is because of the emergence of AAP as great alternative to these corrupt political parties. AAP has only come into politics 2-3 years ago by fighting Delhi elections. And Delhi voters tired of bad, corrupt Congress and BJP , gave AAP a great victory. And AAP led by Kejriwal has formed the Govt. and has provided a corruption free, efficient Govt. to Delhi voters. But Delhi Govt. doesn’t have too much independence and control of Delhi police. But still despite problems created by Modi Govt. AAP is working on their agenda and providing a good, efficient Govt.
Now with Punjab elections due in 2017 AAP will fight the elections because Punjab voters are tired of bad corrupt Congress and Akali Govts. They want a change in Punjab and giving great response and support to AAP. Mr. Phoolka has joined the AAP and is working hard for its success. And during this trip Mr. Phoolka sought support of all Punjabis living in Canada. And the public in general gave great response to his meeting. Everybody there was talking for a change of Govt. and need to get rid of bad, corrupt previous leaderships and parties.
Doesn’t matter what your political ideology and ambition is, this is one chance to get rid of bad, corrupt leaderships and parties who have always misused their powers and killed innocent persons or made them suffer in jails, who were never provided them fair Justice and rights. This one time join hands to vote and support AAP to get rid of old bad political parties and leaderships.
