VANCOUVER â Much has been made of the controversy surrounding Hartosh Singh Bal, an Indian journalist and nephew of the âButcher of Punjabâ KPS Gill, under whose murderous reign in Punjab saw the extrajudicial killing of thousands of innocent Sikh men. While some mainstream and Indian media has painted this as an affront to free speech by radicalized Sikh students at the University of British Columbia with one deranged former politician, an avid anti-Sikh individual, who has gone berserk, threatening to burn his useless UBC degree or throw it in the garbage (he did neither), but UBC Sikh students say it has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with human rights and a failure by Bal to address his uncleâs reign of terror that claimed the life of acclaimed human rights activist Dr. Jaswant Singh Kalra.
