LUDHIANA: Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa, who has been sitting on hunger strike for last 24 days seeking release of Sikh prisoners at his house in Hassanpur village in Ludhiana, was finally forcibly detained by police and is presently admitted at the civil hospital.

The decision for the action was taken in a meeting of Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal and senior Superintendent of police (SSP) Ravcharan Singh Brar with Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa and the old man was finally taken to the civil hospital for necessary treatment. However Bapu Surat Singh claimed that he had been under house arrest and many Sikh organization leaders have offered their support to him.

His family members resented police action and Bapu ji’s son Harwinder Singh said they will continue with their struggle and his father would continue the hunger strike till the release of Sikh prisoners.

All Sikh Youth Groups held a huge meeting in Amritsar. In a joint statement, Sikh Youth Federation Bhindranwala’s president Bhai Balwant Singh Gopala, Sikh Youth Front general secretary Bhai Papalpreet Singh, Gurmat Parchar Sewa Lehar leader Bhai Surinder Singh Thikriwala, Youth Federation For Justice leader Bhai Gurpreet Singh Guri and Shan-e-Khalsa Gatka Dal Sangrur representative Kulwant Singh Talwar leaders said that release of the Sikh detainees is rather a right of Sikh nation, not a demand.

All Sikh organizations have unanimously appointed Bhai Gurdeep Singh from Bathinda as the coordinator for chalking out any further programs in support of Bapu Surat Singh’s protest for freedom.

Interestingly Ludhiana police has also imposed Section 144 across Bapu Surat Singh’s village Hassanpur.
