:dateline:Dal Khalsa has observed that�Sikh preacher and member of newly formed HSGMC Baljit Singh�Daduwal is a clear case of witch-hunting by the Badal government.
Condemning the arrest of Baba�Daduwal, party head Harchranjit Singh Dhami and secretary for human rights affairs Prithpal Singh slammed Badal for resorting to such level to fix�their political adversaries. They said�it�s ironic that Baba Daduwal has been�targeted for spearheading the campaign for the separate Haryana SGPC.
They said the very act of the Akali�government is undemocratic that suppresses �freedom to hold independent belief�and expression.” Today it�s Daduwal, tomorrow it could be anyone they�questioned.
They said the manner in which the police swooped through his dera�at midnight, arrested him in a five year old case and subsequently took him�into a police remand under false charges for possessing illegal arms clearly shows�that the ruling elite was hell bent to fix Baba. Rubbishing the police claim�that Daduwal was possessing illegal arms, they pointed out that no sensible�person could believe in the police theory.
�The saddest part is that� instead of following rules of the law, the police officials succumb to the dictates of their political bosses in�lieu of promotions and plump postings�.
Pertinently, the court on Saturday has extended police remand for one more day.�
