Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa and his supporters, including kins of Sikh detainees who were released on parole earlier, had initiated the Kaumi Sikh Paidal Yatra (march on foot) from Gurdwara Sri Amb Sahib, Mohali, on August 10. The yatra culminated at Akal Takht Secretariat today.
The yatra aimed at creating awareness about illegal detention of Sikh political prisoners in Punjab and other parts of the country.
Another aim was to remind Jathedar Gurbachan Singh of his assurance over securing liberation of Sikhs, following which Khalsa had ended his fast at the Golden Temple last year.
In the memorandum, Khalsa has appealed to the Jathedar to either take steps for the permanent release of Sikh detainees, or leave the highest temporal seat.
