The meeting had the
desired effect and led to mutual discussions which calmed and cooled the situation. He acted as bridge
between the State Government and the Muslim leaders to sort out and resolve the problems, grievances and
issues arising from the terrible violence caused by the riots. When certain priests and nuns were attacked
in Orissa, Gujarat & Madhya Pradesh, he had organized a meeting between the RSS, VHP and Christian
leaders for the removal of misunderstanding between them.
So far Sikhs are concerned, there is hardly any Sikh issue or matter on which he has not expressed
himself boldly and convinced others. Whether it was the matter regarding Udham Singh Nagar, or murder
of Sikhs in Chatti Singh Pura in Kashmir Valley or objectionable matte regarding Sikh religion in NCERT
Books or the treatment of Sikh farmers in Gujarat, or even turban issue in France, he always raised voice
in support of Sikhs. When he represented before constitution review Commission, he convinced them that
the Sikh have a separate identity of their own. Even the RSS Chief accepted this view point at that time. His
efforts led to a discussion on Sikh killings in Delhi in 1984 in Rajya Sabha, where in his emotional speech
on 14th Dec 2009 moved all the members present in the house and convinced them that this tragic incident
could not be treated as riots, but, a well planed genocide of innocent law abiding Sikhs all over the country,
particularly, in Delhi where even Police connivance was clearly evident. He also invited everyone’s attention
to the faulty judicial system which has failed to give justice to Sikhs. He has been an excellent orator, a
highly read columnist and an outstanding writer. That is why his views and suggestions have always been
highly valued and accepted.
S. Tarlochan Singh has been honored by various organizations for his outstanding contribution in
various spheres including sports administration and his efforts to promote the Sikh tenets and teachings
of the Masters as enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. He is known for spreading the message of love,
spiritual harmony and universal brotherhood as given by the Gurus. When he was honored with lifetime
Achievement Award 2014 in London, he was rightly described as an able parliamentarian, an administrator
par excellence, a well read columnist, a successful communicator and a proven administrator, a great role
model in deed.
