Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal today joined the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) signature campaign seeking the release of Bandi Singhs in villages across the State by signing a petition at the gurdwara in Badal village.

Former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal also joined the campaign by signing a petition in this regard at Badal.

The SAD President while talking to media persons after signing the form at the Gurughar in Badal village said that it was an honour to join lakhs of Punjabis in signing the petition seeking release of Sikh detainees who continued to be incarcerated in prisons even after completion of their life sentences.

He appealed to SAD workers to assist the SGPC in making the signature campaign drive a mass movement by taking it to each and every village in the State. He said that all Punjabis should sign these form irrespective of their party affiliations. He said that this only can make this movement and success and he urged Punjabis, including SAD workers, to strive to complete this drive by Baisakhi.

He said that for a record six times file of Prof. Davinderpal Singh Bhullar was sent to government led by Arvind Kejriwal to release Prof. Bhullar but he refused to release him.

He said that similarly Bhagwant Mann led government has refused approval for release of Gurmeet Singh Engineer. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to release these Bandi Sikhs on 550th Prakash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev ji but his promise was never kept. He said that rule of law should be same for everyone.
