United Akali Dal’s President Bhai Mohkam Singh has strongly condemned the Government approach of oppressing the peaceful struggle of Bapu Surat Singh Ji Khalsa against violation of human rights. He said that the government has desended into dictatorship by attacking the office of vernacular Punjabi newspaper ‘Rozana Pehredar’.  It may be recalled that United Akali Dal’s President Bhai Mohkam Singh was detained for lengthy periods in Amritsar Jail by charging him under Section 107/151 of Cr.P.C (Code of Criminal Procedure).

Talking to the Sikh24’s correspondent, Bhai Papalpreet Singh has said that he’s firm in his stand of solidarity with the struggle of Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa. He said that Punjab Government couldn’t reduce his confidence by harassing him in illegal detention.

It is notable that Punjab Government had arrested almost all Panthik activists on the late night of August 5 to prevent them from taking part in a demonstration to be held outside DMCH, Ludhiana on August 6. Some of them were released on August 6 while the others were detained. Panthik activists Bhai Baldev Singh Sirsa and Bhai Balwant Singh Gopala have also been released on bail this evening.
