:dateline:SGPC appointed Jathedars of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib and Takht� Sri Damdama Sahib, Giani Raghvir Singh and Giani Harpreet Singh respectively, met the family of political Sikh prisoner Bhai Harminder Singh Mintu on April 23 to extend their condolences. The duo Jathedars vowed to stand in support of aggrieved family in this time of grief.
Interacting with media, the duo Jathedars said that the Sikhs have been victim of partiality by the Indian government from long time although the Indian constitution is plaintiff of treating everyone equally. They said that a high level probe should be conducted to unearth the reality behind Bhai Mintu�s death in judicial custody.
It may be recalled here that Bhai Harminder Singh Mintu had passed away on April 18 due to heart attack in central jail of Patiala. Although the Patiala jail authorities claim of immediately rushing him to nearby Rajindra Hospital (where he was declared �brought dead� by the doctors) but the worldwide Sikh bodies smell a highly deliberated conspiracy of Indian agencies in this incident. It is being said that the Patiala jail superintendent willingly kept Bhai Mintu deprived of getting examined from PGI despite repeated recommendations by the Jail doctor.
These jathedars are good for nothing. They haven’t done anything for Sikhi or Sikhs. Were they sleeping when Bhai Mintu was being tortured in custody, or they ever showed up to support Surat Singh Khalsa in his fight for human rights. Showering praise after someone’s demise is totally hypocritical.May waheguru give courage to Bhai Mintu’s family to face this tragedy.
