Dal Khalsa pres­i­dent Harpal Singh Cheema in a state­ment from the Singhu bor­der protest site, strongly con­demned the fram­ing of farmer lead­ers and Sikh ac­tivists in fake cases by the Delhi po­lice at the be­hest of the gov­ern­ment.

DAL KHALSA pres­i­dent Harpal Singh Cheema in a state­ment to the me­dia from the protest site de­nounced the gov­ern­ment of In­dia for lodg­ing false cases against farm­ers and Sikh ac­tivists say­ing that they did­n’t in­dulge in vi­o­lence.

“The un­furl­ing of the Sikh Flag at Red Fort is nei­ther un­law­ful nor an act of vi­o­lence.”

Harpal Singh Cheema said that “it was a non-vi­o­lent act of de­fi­ance and protest against the state-spon­sored re­pres­sion and in­jus­tices.  It was a sym­bolic re­ply by Pun­jab to the cen­tral­ist right-wing agenda and anti-mi­nor­ity di­vi­sive pol­i­tics of the Bharatiya Janata Party.”

“We urge farmer lead­ers to not in­dulge in mud-sling­ing and an in­ternecine feud. It will harm and un­der­mine farm­ers ag­i­ta­tion,”

“We urge farmer lead­ers to not in­dulge in mud-sling­ing and an in­ternecine feud. It will harm and un­der­mine farm­ers ag­i­ta­tion,”, he stated.

“Arm twist­ing on the one hand and cre­at­ing a rift be­tween farm­ers lead­ers by the Bharatiya Janata Party gov­ern­ment un­der Naren­dra Modi. From day one, the gov­ern­ment has been stub­born not to re­peal the three con­tentious farm laws. Now they had taken refuge be­hind the flag in­ci­dent, which is be­ing blown out of pro­por­tion”, said Cheema.

“The un­furl­ing of the Sikh Flag at Red Fort is nei­ther un­law­ful nor an act of vi­o­lence.”

Dal Khalsa leader Jasvir Singh Khan­dur pointed out that it’s time for all those who wish to see the laws re­pealed to show ma­tu­rity, com­mit­ment and a united face.

Dal Khalsa also ex­pressed se­ri­ous con­cern at the miss­ing Sikh youth un­law­fully de­tained and ar­rested by the Delhi po­lice af­ter ex­ten­sive tor­ture and beat­ings at un­known po­lice sta­tions un­der more than 22 FIRs lodged at dif­fer­ent po­lice sta­tions, es­pe­cially at Kot­wali and Nan­gloi po­lice sta­tions.
