AMRITSAR: Following the rigid attitude of the governments regarding the release of the captive Singhs, under the order given to the Sikh community by the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Harpreet Singh, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee will install hoarding boards giving information about the Sikh detainees in historical gurdwaras and educational institutions. So that the congregation can be made aware of the injustice being done to the Sikhs by the government.

This was expressed by the President of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami here on Saturday. He said that on the occasion of the Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Harikrishan Sahib, Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib, during his address at Sri Kiratpur Sahib, had ordered the whole world to oppose the oppression of the Sikh detainees and therefore Big boards should be prepared and installed outside houses and other establishments. Information about the prisoners' punishments and current status should be published on these boards. .Mr Dhami said that following the order of Jathedar Sahib, Shiromani Committee has decided to install this board in the Gurdwara Sahibs and educational institutions under its management. These boards will be installed at the main gates of the Gurudwaras and will also be installed at suitable places in educational institutions. The Secretary of the Shiromani Committee has been asked to prepare the minutes of the boards and this work will be completed soon.Criticizing the governments, they said that not releasing the captive Singhs despite serving sentences of more than life imprisonment is a violation of human rights, for which the central government and the governments of the respective states are directly responsible.He said that the Shiromani Committee had written letters to the Prime Minister of India and the Home Minister, the Chief Minister of Delhi and Karnataka for a meeting regarding the release of the captive Singhs, to which no response has been received yet. During the dharna held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi two days ago, Delhi Chief Minister Mr. Arvind Kejriwal was approached at his residence to meet him, but he did not consider it necessary to meet him.Advocate Dhami said that it is Kejriwal's anti-social attitude, which has exposed his arrogance.Shiromani Committee President said that Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib during his address has given an order to make the nation aware of the oppression of Bandi Singhs, which action is being taken by the Shiromani Committee.
