Chandigarh, April 28, 2022 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today filed a complaint with the Delhi Police that few leaders who had deserted the party were trying to take illegal possession of its office in the Gurdwara Rakabganj complex and demanded due action be taken against them as per the law.
A senior delegation of the party including Balwinder Singh Bhunder, Maheshinder Singh Grewal, Sharanjit Singh Dhillon, Dr Daljit Singh Cheema, Surjit Singh Rakhra, Virsa Singh Valtoha, Bibi Ranjit Kaur and S S Babbar met the DCP, New Delhi in this regard. The delegation also submitted that the law enforcement agencies take due action to ensure the working of the SAD office was not disrupted in any manner whatsoever.
Simultaneously the SAD initiated Akhand Paath at the premises to express solidarity with Sikh prisoners and pray for their early release. The community is awaiting the release of Sikh prisoners who have served more than their life sentence in jail and have not been released even after the same was approved by the centre in 2019 on the occasion of 550th anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji.
SAD Delhi President Paramjit Singh Sarna, who has also served as President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee earlier, also paid his obeisance on the occasion and extended his unflinching support to the cause of the release of the Sikh prisoners.
Meanwhile talking to the media there Dr Daljit Singh Cheema and Virsa Singh Valtoha said the Sikh community was dismayed that the Sikh prisoners, including Balwant Singh Rajoana , Prof Devinderpal Singh Bhullar & Bhai Jagtar Singh hawara had not been released on the occasion of the 400th Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur which was commemorated by the centre recently.
“The entire Sikh community was hopeful that the Sikh prisoners would be released on this occasion. Now we hope the same will happen by April 30 by which time the Supreme Court has directed the centre to take a decision on the mercy petition of Balwant Singh Rajoana.
