CHANDIGARH, PUNJAB – (Jan 23, 2014) Much too the embarrassment of those who orchestrated the “Amb Sahib Morcha” for the release of Sikh political prisoners, Bhai Gurmeet Singh, who was temporarily given restricted parole less than a month ago, has been sent to the prison as the allotted time of his parole expired.
The three other Sikhs, Bhai Lal Singh, Bhai Lakhwinder Singh and Bhai Shamsher Singh, could meet the same fate as their paroles also expiring with the next few days.
Meanwhile Bhai Gurbaksh Singh, who held the much publicized “fast-unto-death” hunger strike at Gurdwara Amb Sahib, and representatives of SOPW and Dal Khalsa who had orchestrated the this morcha are now putting the blame and responsibility of release on the Jathedars and the Badal regime for not fulfilling their promises of eventual permanent release of the Sikh prisoners.
The Jathedars and Sant-Samaj have so far avoided any public comments on this issue and even snubbed the much criticized “thanksgiving” function organized by Gurbaksh Singh at his native village in Haryana.
