General Labh Singh Ji

Bhai Labh Singh aka Sukhdev Singh Sukha was born in 1952, at the house of Sardar Puran Singh Ji and Mata Kulwant Kaur Ji. Bhai sahibs oldest brother Bhai Daljeet Singh is still doing seva for the panth. Along with education Bhai sahib had the junoon of playing sports and took part in many sports. Bhai sahib finished his education at Baba Budha sahib college and a
fter the college Bhai sahib joined punjab police. From the begining Bhai sahib used to think of jujahroo singhs. Even being in punjab police Bhai sahib didn't take any nonfairness from superior officers. Bhai sahib Anand Karaj took place in 1980 with Bibi Davinder Kaur. Bhai sahib Ji had two sons Rajashwar Singh and Pardeep Singh.

In 1980 Bhai sahib duty was at Thana Bikhiwand and Bhai sahib relatives came to visit him and one hindu police man name NANDA had hatred inside him against Sikhs. The hindu named nanda said something against Bhai sahib and Bhai sahib gave him a good beating at the same thana and from fearing Bhai sahib's katapa(beatings) that hindu nanda was hiding for 30 minutes inside the police station.
Bhai sahib Ji in 1982 decided to join the sangarsh of Sant Sipahi Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale and in 1983 Bhai sahib had so much love for Sant Ji and the sangarsh that he left the police department and joined Sant Ji. During the beginning when Bhai sahib stayed with Sant Ji the other singhs with Sant Ji didn't trust him because he was in the punjab police but after Bhai sahib punished many pappi's and showed that he is also a singh of Guru Gobind Singh, Bhai sahib came very close to the sangat and to the other singhs as well as Sant Ji.

During the attack on Darbar sahib, a operation called Operation Bluestar, Bhai Sahib fought with bravery and was arrested and was tortured brutally by the forces. Bhai sahib was kept at jodhpur jail for two years and he didn't loose his faith in the sangarsh infact the two years made him more stronger. In 1986 Bhai sahib was accused of the killing of ramesh chandar and had to come to court a lot for the court days. That’s when Bhai sahib met Bhai Manvir Singh Ji Chehru and his singhs. Bhai Manvir Singh Ji got Bhai Labh Singh out of the murder case at the Jalandhar court. After Bhai Labh Singh came out he started the guerrilla warfare against the government.
When Bhai sahib ran away from police custody the sikh jathabandia were very week with ammunition. After the arrest of Bhai Sahib Bhai Manvir Singh Ji Chehru the singhs announced Bhai Labh Singh Ji as the jathedar of KHALISTAN COMMANDO FORCE. Bhai sahib did seva that very rare singhs do for the panth. During Bhai sahib's time Bhai Sahib attacked that pappi robiero at PIP in jalandhar but robiero got away. Bhai Sahib attained shaheedi on july 12 because of some traitors in our panth. Bhai sahibs wife and kids were harassed a lot by SSP Ajit sandhu pappi and because of that harassment Bhai sahibs family had to shift to America. Bhai sahib's shaheedi diwahra takes place at his village panjwar.

Bibi Davinder Kaur Ji speaking on the shaheedi of General Labh Singh Ji
"He had informed me where he was going and I was not worried as he was known to Nirmal Singh as he often kept money in his house. When he reached there Nirmal Singh suggested that, since his house was searched often, he should sleep in Gurdit Singh’s house at Khuda Hospiarpur. Gurdit Singh was also known to my husband as he often left money there as well. Gurjit Singh, the then AISSF leader, knew all the people around my husband as they all had been together in the gunrunning. Panjwar did not remain with them and Gurdit Singh had evidently spread a rumour throughout his village that he was going to Bombay and the USA. Nirmal Singh took my husband to his village. There something was put in his milk that put him into a deep sleep. His body was taken by the BSF and dumped at Darapur. The owners of the petrol pump report that in the early hours of the morning a car was seen appraoaching and that a single shot rang out sometime between two and four in themorning. The body was identified as being that of my husband by SSP Izhar Alam and Swaran Singh SSP. The next morning at 10:00 the SSP Hoshiarpur informed mydelf and my father in law. A smell came from the body. Many people started collecting at the petrol pump from the surrounding villages to see the body and fifty thousand came to the bhog there before it reached Panjwar where a bhog was also held…Gurdit Singh had been jealous of his popularity. My husband was a deeply religious and determined man who always kept his word. "
