(Jan. 14th, 2013)
NEW DELHI - Without much fanfare or publicity, Bhai Iqbal Singh Bhatti (France), continues his hunger strike at Jantar Mantar complex in New Delhi that was started on December 5th of 2013.
Bibi Nirpreet Kaur, a 1984 genocide victim, and other Delhi Sikhs have provided support and assistance for this protest.
Bhai Iqbal Singh's demands include:
- Release of Political Prisoner Professor Devinderpal Singh Bhullar
- Arrest and Punishment for those responsible for the November 1984 State Sponsored Pogroms
- A Fast Track Court for achieving justice for the 1984 Genocide Victims
Despite being on hunger strike for nearly 40 days, his protest has received virtually no coverage in the Indian media and in Panthic circles.
A Facebook page about Bhai Iqbal Singh's protest was setup by his supporters at: https://www.facebook.com/bhaiIqbalsinghji
We all must agree with his demands. Feelings of Sikhs are very genuine.
