Dal Khalsa leader Kanwarpal Singh said the continuous house arrest of Mr. Geelani has taken the toll of his health. Notably, Geelani Sahib was discharged from Max hospital yesterday after his health condition got stable.
Both the leaders denounced the continued detention of two JNU students and former Delhi University former professor S. A. R. Geelani. It was decided that concerted joint efforts be made to counter the noisy RSS-led campaign on sedition and Hindu nationalism. Both the leaders deliberated upon the nuisances of pro-freedom struggle of Kashmir and Punjab.
Mr Geelani, while talking to the Sikh youth activists urged them to be disciplined and focused for the mission of protecting their distinct identity. He further said that “We should not underestimate the strength, chicanery and wrath of our oppressors and prepare our communities for a political struggle”. Others who joined them includes Prof Jagmohan Singh, Harjinder Sungh, Gurpreet Singh and Paramjit Singh.
