August 4, 2015: With the government “ignoring” the August 4 ultimatum of
various Sikh organisations, Surat Singh Khalsa Sangharsh
Committee members along with their allied Sikh radical groups
have decided to stage a protest outside Parliament tomorrow.
Khalsa’s daughter Sarvinder Kaur said: “Some of our supporters have already left for Delhi. They will assemble at Rakabganj Gurdwara and then march towards Parliament where they will hand over a memorandum to the Speakers of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.”
The petition would be given under the title of “Justice for
Sikhs” wherein the Sangharsh Committee will demand a debate
on the floor of both Houses on the matter of freeing Sikh
detainees.
Another group of Sangharsh Committee members today met
Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal. They alleged veteran
Sikh leader Khalsa was being isolated by the police. Khalsa’s
son Ravinderpal Singh Goggi said: “Except me and my sister,
no one else is being allowed to meet my father.” — TNS

Demanding release of Sikh political prisoners languishing in jails on political grounds for the past many years said that the Central and State governments were discriminating against Sikh political prisoners by not extending them benefits of premature release. They said that the concerned Sikh prisoners should be released with immediate effect so that Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa’s life can be saved.
The protest march began from Bhagta Bhai village and ended at Bhai Roopa village. The youths tied black bands on their turbans and also carried black flags in their hands. The protesters raised slogans against the Narendra Modi led NDA government in Centre and the Badal-BJP led government in Punjab for not taking up the matter seriously.
