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.
Rosneft, the Russian state-owned oil behemoth, has large interests in India. Reliance has a contract to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude per day from the firm.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
