Sangat heading to Fatehgarh Sahib

Sikh sangat from all over Punjab and other states in India, reached Fatehgarh Sahib. in the early morning. Addressing a gathering at Dewan Todar Mall Hall in Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, Bhai Gurdeep Singh Bathinda, coordinator, Committee for Release of Political Prisoners, lashed out at Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for working towards the “promotion of his personal interests”. He said, “The state government led by Badal had failed to take up the issue of release of Sikh detainees who were arrested as per a conspiracy during Operation Bluestar in 1984. A majority of these prisoners have crossed the age of 70 and they needed to be released as they were not facing any charges.”

Bhai Gurdeep Singh said Bapu Surat Singh had been on an indefinite fast since January 16 but Badal had no concern for his well-being. He said they would peacefully continue to court arrest till the release of these detainees.
Meanwhile, a 70-member group representing various Sikh organisations left for Chandigarh to protest in support of this issue.

After performing Ardas, the Jatha went on its way for dharna at Badal’s residence in Chandigarh when the police arrested the Singhs.

According to reports, the Jatha of 62 Sikhs who were arrested was led by Adv. Harpal Singh Cheema, Dr. Manjinder Singh Jandi, S. Jasvir Singh Khandur, Bhai Mohkam Singh, Bhai Amrik Singh Ajnala,  Bhai Gurpreet Singh and Bhai Sukhwinder Singh.
