- Eye Witness Fasted for 6 days to fight against injustice
- Giani Gurbachan Singh & Badal successful in breaking fast
- Giani Gurbachan Singh gave “hukam” to Nirpreet Kaur
- BJP, RSS and Shiv Sena accompany Badal during meeting with PM
NEW DELHI—After holding a fast for 6 days, Bibi Nirpreet Kaur finally gave in to the pressure by Giani Gurbachan Singh, Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib. Bibi Nirpreet Kaur is an eye witness against Sajjan Kumar. She had announced to go on hunger strike for an indefinite period at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Jathehdar, Giani Gurbachan Singh expressed his gratitude towards the delegates of various parties including Samajwadi Party, BJP, Shiv Sena, Rashtri Janta Dal, Biju Janta Dal, Janta Dal United and Aam Aadmi Party for showing their support and concern.
The hunger strike by Bibi Nirpreet Kaur has been totally ignored by India media and Congress. No major TV station provided coverage despite the fact that it lasted over 6 days in the extreme heat of New Delhi.
Bibi Ji’s health was deteriorating and she had been continuously vomiting. Despite such hardships, Bibi Nirpreet Kaur remained committed to fight against injustice.
Punjab CM Parkash Badal and Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal also played a big role in convincing Bibi Nirpreet Kaur to end her indefinite fast and assured the fulfilment of her demands after meeting President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. It is important to note that various BJP, RSS and Shiv Sena delegates are said to have accompanied the Punjab CM in his meeting with Manmohan Singh.
Parkash Badal shamelessly expressed his appreciation towards her valiant efforts to fight against injustice and assured her that she would get full support from their party. At the end of the day, Badal secured more support for his political party but failed to provide justice to his community.
Badal alleged that the SAD and DSGMC would soon approach the Supreme Court seeking the formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the pogroms of 1984 and to complete the investigation within the given time period of 3 months. Although Badal is providing a helping hand to victims of 1984, where was he when BJP was in power but remained quiet over 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom?
After breaking her fast, Bibi Nirpreet Kaur told the press that she was given ‘adesh’ by Giani Gurbachan Singh to break her fast. She was told that all Sikhs are to comply with directions passed by the Akal Takht Sahib. Interestingly, Journalist Jarnail Singh and Arvind Kejriwal were not present when the fast was broken. They had accompanied Bibi Nirpreet Kaur for past 6 days.
