Dera Sacha Sauda chief has been granted a 21-day furlough ahead of the sect’s 77th foundation day. Just 2 months ago, he had walked out of Sunaria Jail on 30-day parole.
Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan & now Delhi, Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim's parole is often timed before elections in states where his followers form a voter base.
While move comes ahead of Haryana polls, Dera Sacha Sauda media face says political affairs wing was dissolved after 2017. Parole petition is with state chief electoral officer.
He is likely to contest Haryana polls from Charkhi Dadri, though BJP's 2019 candidate Babita Phogat has already begun campaigning. Induction follows speedy approval of his VRS application.
Out for 21 days, Ram Rahim will remain at Dera ashram in Barnwara village in UP’s Baghpat for entire duration of furlough. This is 6th time he has been granted parole/furlough since 2017.
This comes a week after the rebel leaders, including Prem Singh Chandumajra and Bibi Jagir Kaur, met in Jalandhar and launched a campaign for Sukhbir Badal's removal as SAD chief.
