Dear Doctors,
*Re: the Proposed visit of Jagdish Tytler, the Indian politician
implicated
for masterminding the massacres of Sikhs in Delhi 1984, by two Judicial
Commissions*
* *
We are deeply alarmed and shocked having learnt that members of your
honourable profession intend to honour Mr Jagdish Tytler the Indian Congress
minister for Non Resident Indians abroad. The notoriety of this individual
runs deep in the annals of modern history as he stands accused of organising
and masterminding the massacre and carnage of over 4000 Sikhs during the
Delhi riots in 1984.
As a profession which embellishes compassion, humanity and hope, we find it
incomprehensible and express our utter despair, that this individual is
being welcomed under your patronage. To think that those who take an oath
to preserve life have invited one who has taken so many lives, is
extraordinary and unbelievable.
It must be sad and disturbing for any ordinary person to realise that there
are physicians in USA, who despite upholding the values of freedom,
democracy and human rights, will pay tribute to a man skilled in organising
the massacre of innocents. Words cannot express the pain, shock and
humiliation that this causes.
The massacres organised were amongst the worst in the history of modern
India. Innocent people were pulled from their homes and burnt alive with
petrol and kerosene. No Sikh was spared as children and the elderly were
burnt and women brutally gang raped. During the four days of violence that
ensued Sikh shops were looted and Gurudwaras desecrated under the auspices
of the Indian congress party in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi's
assassination. Mobs incited and controlled by politicians such as Jagdish
Tytler and Sajaan Kumar. It was a chilling similarity to the Nazi *
Kristallnacht* where Jews their homes and property were targeted and
destroyed. However, the guilty not only walk free, but find themselves being
honoured by organisations such as yours.
Central to this massacre was Jagdish Tytler. Evidence presented in front of
two Judicial Commissions (Nanavati, Misra) have implicated him. Fear,
intimidation and threats have prevented witnesses from giving evidence
against him. Justice was, and still is, denied to thousands.
Tytler's notorious background is well known to every Indian and human rights
organisation. It pains the Sikh community, and indeed all those Indians who
value the meaning of life, to learn that to patronise such an individual is
to endorse the horrendous crimes against humanity that he has perpetrated.
Yet we can only assume that it through ignorance of Tytler's past that this
event is planned and is allowed to proceed. Otherwise, the thought of
*any*doctor endorsing such a butcher of brutal murders is despicable
and
revolting. May God give your patients strength to face you in your
surgeries. Please demonstrate to us that it is the former and cancel the
event.
Physicians, whom we hold with such great esteem, are endowed with the
greatest gift of saving life, compassion and humanity. It is inconceivable
that members of such a noble profession would ever entertain the prospect of
sharing any platform with such a remorseless tyrant of humanity. Show you
solidarity and reject Jagdish Tytler and all he represents, else endorse the
actions of a man with blood of so many innocent people on his hands.
*(Write you Name Here..)*

*UPDATE*
*We are happy to inform you that due to the collective efforts of many
people who wrote in and those who protested in NY, the proposed visit of
Jagdish Tytler to USA on Jun 25th was cancelled.
We are not sure whether this is a postponement or a final cancellation.
Either way, we would like to continue to maintain pressure of highlighting
Mr Tytler's involvement in the Delhi massacres of the Sikhs in 1984 and his
unsuitability therefore to be a minister in the Indian Government.*
