Also from the RSS pantheon is Nanaji Deshmukh, here with Modi.
Deshmukh outlines his justification for massacre of Sikhs in 1984. "Sikhs invited these attacks on themselves. Genuine feeling of anger"
Modi Govt awarded him the Bharat Ratna in 2019. (8/n)

What about Modi himself on Sikhs?
1. Once Modi recounted a meeting with Dr Manmohan Singh. Surprised by the Dr's cordialness, Modi happened to look at a watch, “ki barah bajne wale the”, a trope against Sikhs many of us have faced our entire lives. (9/n) https://caravanmagazine.in/politics/rss-bjp-sangh-sikh-appeasement-1984

2. As Chief Minister, his Govt tried its best to take away the land of Sikh farmers who were settled in Kutch and Bhuj regions since 1965.
3. Modi says Hindu terror is a fallacy but his Govt has exclusive focus groups on Islamist & Sikh terrorism. (10/n) https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/gujarat/outsiders-in-kutchs-minipunjab-sikh-farmers-battling-for-their-land/

No wonder the Akal Takht, the highest temporal body of the Sikhs, issued a directive in 2004 which still stands, barring Sikhs from dealing with the RSS and its underling, the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat. (11/n) http://www.panthic.org/articles/2490
As RSS, empowered by Modi, goes down its laundry list (370, Citizenship Amendment, UCC), Sikhs will have their moment of reckoning. The concerted effort to undermine & diminish the independent Sikh religion is clear.
