:dateline:According to information from reliable sources, the Punjab government is due�to release Bhai �Baj Singh from Amritsar jail.
He had been languishing in jail since 1993. The state government has agreed�his release and this may happen�in the coming hours after the completion of�legal documentation. It is notable that the Punjab government is releasing Sikh detainees as per promises made to the Bandi Singhs Rihai Sangharsh Committee, spearheading Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa�s yearlong peaceful struggle.
Confirming developments, Bhai Bhawandeep Singh Sidhu said�that the SSP Ravcharan Brar informed him of the Government�s move of releasing political Sikh prisoner Bhai Baj Singh. He added that SSP Ravcharan Brar was asked by Akali Dal�s spokesperson Dr. Daljeet Singh Cheema to deliver the information to the Bandi Singhs Rihai Sangharsh Committee.
It may be recalled that Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa has been on hunger strike since January 16, 2015 seeking the release of political Sikh prisoners. His peaceful struggle forced the Punjab government into�transferring�Professor Devinderpal Singh Bhullar and Bhai Gurdeep Singh Khaira to Punjab. The credit for recent releases of Bhai Waryam Singh and Bhai Hardeep Singh also falls with�Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa�s struggle.
SGPC shouldn’t create link with any political party…it must think abt religious activities, but SGPC working too away from its path….now its jst like a political party n should participate in CM or PM election…..its better
The SGPC and Akali Badal Dal should hang their heads in shame when they look upon a true Sikh like Bapu Surat SIngh. Is it any wonder they are terrified that he will become a Shaheed with his hunger strike pricking consciences and throwing light upon illegal and immoral practices against Sikh prisoners.
Agreed 100%. SGPC and Badal Dal are both non-Sikh entities and corrupt to the core; they cannot be reformed.
Sikhs need to stop attending all SGPC controlled Gurdwaras and only attend local village Gurdwaras. Money is the only language the current Masands in power understand, so we need to hit them where it hurts.
