Former Leader of Opposition and MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira today called upon political parties and farm leadership to unite and defend those being persecuted on the pretext of insulting the national flag and other Red Fort-related incidents.
Khaira said hundreds of youths had been picked up by the Delhi Police, tortured, arrested and jailed under serious sections of the law.
Khaira said the police had not even spared women activists such as Nodeep Kaur and senior farm leadership, which were not even present at the site of the January 26 incidents.
Khaira claimed the youth at the Red Fort had committed no acts of violence or arson. He implored the Punjab leadership to collectively urge the BJP government to release all arrested youth and withdraw false cases. — TNS
