Ishmeet's Family in Maldives!!

Ishmeet’s father (S. Gurprinder Singh) and chacha ji (Dr. C K Singh) have reached Maldives today. Based on our phone conversation with them on September 4th before their departure, they were scheduled to stay in the same resort (Chaaya Island Dhonveli Resort) where Ishmeet met his tragic end. As there was no initiation of any action or inquiry from the Indian government, a quest of a father to know how his only son died took this unfortunate and helpless family to Maldives on their own.

Before leaving they held a press conference in Delhi sharing their thoughts and concerns about the case. Dr. C K Singh further told us their plan of meeting the local press their in Maldives.

The Justice for Ishmeet Campaign Team has forwarded the contact information for the editors of Minivan News, a local English daily of Maldives, to Ishmeet’s family.

We also request the local Sikh Sangat in Maldives to come forward and help Ishmeet’s family. If you know anyone in Maldives, please pass on this information to them.

The family will hold another press conference after returning to India to apprise everyone what have they ascertain in Maldives.

(Sincere thanks to Mr. Maninder Singh Tuli for sharing Ishmeet’s family’s itinerary with us.)

Happy Birthday Ishmeet!

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਮੰਨੀਅਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਲਏ ਗਲਿ ਲਾਇ ॥੨॥
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਾ ਨੋ ਪੰਥੁ ਪਰਗਟਾ ਦਰਿ ਠਾਕ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਪਾਇ ॥

The Gurmukhs are honored in the Court of the Lord. The Lord Himself takes them in His Loving Embrace. ॥2॥
For the Gurmukhs, the Way is obvious. At the Lord's Door, they face no obstructions.

Its the birth anniversary (September 2nd) of our hero Ishmeet Singh. It is hard to imagine the plight of Ishmeet's family on this day when Ishmeet is not among us. We think the only solace for the unfortunate family would be to stand with them in this difficult hour. Let's tell them how proud are we for their son. How much we are missing Ishmeet.

What would be more perfect than a gift of Justice for the bereaved family. Let's make this promise to ourselves, promise to Ishmeet's family that we will fight for the justice. We will stand by them in this hour of sadness.

Tell us how you feel and we will forward that to Ishmeet's family. Leave a comment here or email us at justice_for_ishmeet@yahoo.com

We promise to forward your wishes, blessings, suggestions to ISHMEET's FAMILY.

Ishmeet's Family Endorsed This Campaign!!

Dr. Charan Kamal Singh, Ishmeet Singh’s Chacha Ji, has endorsed “Justice for Ishmeet” campaign. He further supported the petition by agreeing to the demands made in it. During our conversation, he was with the opinion that there should be some international pressure on the Indian government to make them act and mark an inquiry into the incident. We assured him all possible help in this by carrying on our campaign to mount pressure on the Government of India.

Dr. Singh also told us that creation of a foundation in the name of Ishmeet Singh is under process. The foundation will help promoting the legacy of Ishmeet by helping and supporting the upcoming talent. The foundation will lay special emphasis on the commitment to faith and will encourage upcoming Sikh stars to maintain their clean image (Intact Sikh Identity).

We wish them luck in this noble cause.
