On the other hand a Sikh delegation met Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal in Chandigarh to discuss demands of Surat Singh Khasla with the Punjab government. Punjab CM Badal reportedly told the members of the Sikh delegation that his government was “helpless” in fulfilling demands raised by Surat Singh Khalsa.

Source said that Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa’s condition was stable for the time being and a team of doctors is regularly monitoring his health condition.

In his letter to Indian Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi, Bapu Surat Singh said that he would prefer to die, over ending hunger-strike, without securing release of concerned Sikh political prisoners.
