Amritsar, Punjab (December 25, 2013): Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh in a sharp reaction said Akal Takht Jathedar’s decision ordering Bhai Gurbakash Singh to end fast, was too late and contrary to Sikh feelings and aspirations.

Commenting on edict, he said 41 days have passed and Jathedar”s position remained confused and self-contradictory.

“Had Jathedar took the lead from the first day, the issue would have resolved by now. To ensure the release of 6 detainees within specific time frame, Hukamnama should have been directed to SAD president”, said he.

However, he clarified that Bhai Gurbakash Singh’s life is dear to them and “we pray that he lives long life to serve the cause of Panth”.
