The Universal Human Rights Organisation (UHRO) has demanded the release and rehabilitation of Sikh men who are languishing in various jails. The NGO has sent a written representation to All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Rahul Gandhi on this.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, UHRO president Satnam Singh Dhaliwal, chief spokesperson Surat Singh Khalsa and chairman VP Singh said during militancy the Punjab Police had picked up several innocent Sikh youths, suspecting them to be terrorists. They said while some of them were killed in encounters, a number of them were still languishing in various jails of Punjab and other parts of the country.
The UHRO office bearers said they had now sent a representation to Rahul Gandhi. They said now that the Gandhi family and even Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had apologised for the Army action on the Golden Temple, the Congress-led UPA Government should immediately release those Sikh men from jails.
