 The Dal Khalsa today criticised Parkash Singh Badal for avoiding a direct answer on the issue of annulment of Clause 5 of the Punjab’s Termination of Agreements Act, 2004.
Speakers at a function held to pay tributes to Sikh warrior Baba Baghel Singh at his native village Hariana, about 15 km from here, urged the Chief Minister to keep his poll promise by abrogating the clause.
A convention was organised at the village gurdwara built in memory of the Sikh general, who is credited with the unfurling of the Nishan Sahib atop Red Fort in 1783 on this day, marking the rule of Sikhs over Delhi.
Leaders of the Dal Khalsa extolled the military and political qualities of Bhai Baghel Singh.
President of the body Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib delivered the keynote address. He said the present political leadership in Punjab did not offer any role models and therefore it was the need of the hour to honour Sikh generals of yesteryears.
Convener of the Khalsa Action Committee Bhai Mohkam Singh warned the government against “danda-raj” in the state. He condemned the brutality unleashed on anganwari workers in Bathinda two days ago.
