AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—The Sikh Youth Front conducted the ‘Sikh Unity March’ in support of the hunger strike of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa for the release of seven Sikh detainees. Sikh Youth Front conducted this march in collaboration with Sikh Youth Federation Bhindranwala.
Bhai Papalpreet Singh (General Secretary, Sikh Youth Front) said while addressing devotees that the Chief Minister of Punjab S. Parkash Badal has appealed to the Chief Ministers of other states to offer support in ensuring the release of Sikh prisoners who have already completed their life sentences. On the contrary, S. Badal is not paying attention to Bhai Hardeep Singh and Bhai Baj Singh, who are imprisoned in the Amritsar Jail since 1993. Bhai Palapreet Singh said that S. Badal should order the release of these prisoners, if he really wants to prove his sympathy towards the Sikh struggle.
Bhai Pritpal Singh (Media Secretary, Sikh Youth Front) said that political parties should stop using Sikh issues as political stunts. He said that the motive of this march is not to urge but to warn the Government to stop assaulting the human rights of Sikh prisoners. Bhai Shamsher Singh Koharhka (Distt.
