Haryana govt appointed ad hoc panel taking over shrines criticised by Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Backed by a SC ruling, HSGMC took control of shrine in Kurukshetra on Sunday
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.
Harjinder Singh Dhami claims he was invited to speak at protest site where his car came under attack. But organisers say they hadn't invited him & he was advised not to come.

Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
