Sikh body regrets govt's 'negative attitude' towards Akal Takht panel, which is seeking release of 'Bandi Singhs' jailed during militancy in 1980s-1990s & incarcerated for decades.
The Quami Insaaf Morcha started on Mohali-Chandigarh border on 7 Jan to demand the release of Sikh prisoners who were convicted of various crimes during the period of militancy.
SGPC chief Harjinder Dhami has said the battle for ‘release of Sikh prisoners will be fought at all levels and governments will have to back down to voice of Sikh community’.
The movement for ‘Bandi Singhs’ started in the state in 2013, when the demand was first raised to release Sikh militants who had been languishing in jail for years.
Less than a year before the First Constitutional Amendment, Patel wrote to Nehru about Supreme Court rulings that had 'knocked the bottom out' of press control laws.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
