The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by its president Simranjit Singh Mann will hold a demonstration in New Delhi on July 11 in protest against the death sentences awarded to Prof Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar and Balwant Singh Rajoana (the late CM Beant Singh’s killing case).
Mann said here today his party had also sought time from Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh for holding talks with him on the issue of Prof Bhullar and Rajoana and submitting a memorandum in this regard.
Mann said though CM Parkash Singh Badal and Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh were demanding that the death sentence of Bhullar and Rajoana should not be executed, the Indian National Congress and the BJP (an alliance partner of the SAD in Punjab) were in favour of it.
This was why nobody was hearing their pleas, he added.
He said the youth wing of the SAD (A) would be constituted on August 28 at Moga where the president of the wing and other office-bearers would be elected.
