Sikh clergy tells CM, Makkar to meet Prez to save Rajoana


The Sikh high priests today issued directions to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and SGPC Chief Avtar Singh Makkar to meet President Pratibha Patil and make efforts to save Balwant Singh Rajoana, convict in former CM Beant Singh’s assassination, from the gallows. 

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh made this announcement after receiving suggestions from various Panthic, social and political organisations throughout the day and subsequently deliberating on them during a meeting of the Sikh clergy.

The Jathedar asked the CM and the SGPC president to take all possible measures to get Rajoana released without any condition. He also asked them to make the President aware about the "injustice being meted out to the Sikhs".
