  1. I support Bhai Gurbaksh Singh in what he is doing for the Sikh Paanth. It is highly unfortunate that a fellow Sikh has to starve himself to serve as a statement to the tyrant government and other Sikhs as well. He is not asking for anything that is unreasonable; this is utterly horrific the means he has to go to bring about attention to such a matter. The government for Punjab should take action ASAP to halt Bhai Gurbaksh Singh’s hunger strike. He needs to survive in order to fight the other many battles that the Sikh Paanth needs to have resolved.
