:dateline:During a closed door meeting with a few Singhs at Gurdwara Amb Sahib earlier today, DGP Shashi Kant offered suggestions on how to seek the release of Singhs from a number of jails.� DGP Shashi Kant further said that he has already raised the matter with the Centre Government to seek the release of Sikhs who have already completed their jail terms.� The Centre Government has alleged that this matter must be decided upon by individual State Governments as it does not fall within Centre jurisdiction.
As per Shashi Kant, State Governments should be pressed to seek parole of Singhs and while on parole, work can be started on their permanent release.� He alleged that if Sanjay Dutt, an eminent Bollywood superstar, can be released on parole twice, why can’t Singhs be released on the same terms?
This suggestion by Shashi Kant comes in at the right time as the Sikh Nation is pondering upon various options to accelerate the morcha started by Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa.� A meeting was called of various Sant Samaj leaders at Gurdwara Amb Sahib, however it failed to bear any fruit.
DGP Shashi Kant has visited Bhai Gurbaksh Singh various times and continues to offer assistance to the movement.
DGP Shashi Kant Regrets Recent Decision by Sant Samaj
DGP Shashi Kant has expressed his disappointment over the recent decision by the Sant Samaj in which the group collectively denied the wish of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa to pay homage at Anandpur Sahib.� After his release from the PGI Hospital, Bhai Sahib had expressed a desire to visit Anandpur Sahib, the birth place of the Khalsa.� This desire was expressed again at the Sant Samaj meeting however the attendees alleged that such a trip could cause damage to the campaign.
The reason provided was that upon his return, the SGPC might not allow Bhai Gurbaksh Singh to camp at Gurdwara Amb Sahib again.� Although Bhai Gurbaksh Singh accepted the �hukam� by Sant Samaj, we have learnt that the entire Sangat was not in agreement with it.
Shashi Kant, a Hindu by religion, stated that he does not understand Sikh religious edicts, however �from humanitarian point of view� Here is a dying man; a religious man fighting for a just cause, whose even last wish (god forbid; may god give my life to him) is not being fulfilled.�
Without naming any individuals, Shashi Kant alleged that some persons who have continued to be present at Gurdwara Amb Sahib had worked under him as �agents� and they continue to provide information to the intelligence wing of the Punjab Police.
Twenty Six Days of Hunger and Continuing�
Bhai Gurbaksh Singh resumed the morcha at Gurdwara Amb Sahib and freed Bhai Damandeep Singh from his fast.� Bhai Gurbaksh Singh continues to shock everyone with his steadfastness in the struggle for justice.� He has remained in chardi kala high spirits despite being physically weak.
His medical reports came in as normal at the PGI hospital.� Further tests were conducted at Gurdwara Amb Sahib and they were satisfactory.� Bhai Sahib�s kidneys were at border line however he has insisted that he will not give up his demands until Singhs are released.
