Jathedar Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara’s Messages In Support of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa

NEW DELHI—Jathedar Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara of Babbar Khalsa has issued a note in support of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, and to caution him of mischievous elements wanting to dither his plans.  In the correspondence, Bhai Hawara states that whoever is seeking release of Sikh prisoners has his full support, however he warned Bhai Khalsa to stay aware of people who may try to manipulate his plan.

Bhai Hawara has stated that it was the duty of the appointed Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to raise his voice against unlawful imprisonment of Sikhs.  He urged the Jathedar to take a lead in seeking justice for Sikhs.

The note by Bhai Hawara was released by the UK based Sikh Relief organization –

Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa has once again started his hunger strike campaign, in demand for the release of Sikh political prisoners who have spent more than a life sentence locked behind bars. Whoever, or whichever organisation, takes any step for the release of Sikh prisoners, or is actively seeking justice for them, has my full support.

My humble request to Gurbaksh Singh; this time avoid the manipulation and devious plans of others and remain focused, until the goal of freeing the prisoners who have served their time is achieved. This way the authorities will have to act.

Seeing the injustices take place against the Sikhs, it was the duty of the Jathedar of Akal Takht to raise his voice and rally our nation to unite in achieving this goal. If the Jathedar had fulfilled his role last year and kept to his promises, the Singhs would be walking free now and Gurbaksh Singh would not have to keep protesting. I urge the Jathedar, even now, to take the lead in fighting for justice for our Sikhs who are imprisoned and to see that they are released.”
