Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has declared that he would take up the so-called ‘black list’ of Sikhs with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said he wanted removal of the names of persons from the list against whom no cases or legal proceedings were pending. Badal said he would also take up the cause of Sikh prisoners languishing in jails of other states even after the completion of their sentence with Narendra Modi.
It is notable that Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, who had observed 44 day long hunger strike in Nov.-Dec. 2013, has warned to restart his hunger strike if Sikh political prisoners, who have served their sentences, were not permanently released.
