[edit] Baseless claims

The following lines have been moved here from the main article page as they are POV and propaganda. The original lines read as below:-
"This allegation was based on information provided by militant Sikh separatists, specifically the so-called "Council of Khalistan" headed by Gurmit Singh Aulakh, after a massacre of about 50 Sikhs at Chattisinghpora in Kashmir, which was perpetrated by the Islamic Fundamentalist terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba. Some Sikhs have blamed the massacre on fundamentalist Hindus."

Issues:-

1. The lines claim that Ed Towns is operating on instructions from militants but provide no specific information who did research and found that Ed Towns is operation in such a way.
2. The contributor of the lines uses internal link to Khalistan and used the tag "Sikh separatists" preceded by "militant" deliberately using pathos without any logos and tries to get the readers blind folded with prejudice.
3. uses POV and uses the language such as "so-called Council of Khalistan" clearly pouring out the POV and personal feelings of the contributer of these lines.
4. For the Chattisinghpora massacre of Sikhs, the lines read "...about 50 Sikhs" showing the lack of clear information on part of the contributor.
5. Later, the above contributor claims that the attack on the Sikh were "perpetrated" by Islamic Fundamentalists without giving reliable references on this controversial claim.
