Amritsar, November 1

To commemorate the 55th Punjab Day, the Dal Khalsa today held a rally to highlight contentious issues related to denial of rights and farmers’ distress.

Kanwar Pal Singh, spokesman, Dal Khalsa, released a policy document which reiterated for Punjab’s sovereignty and self-rule through right to self determination.

The organisation blamed the Centre for looting river water and natural resources of the state. The leaders demanded visa-free entry and free trade for accessing central and western Asian markets via Wagha border.

Remembering 1984 killings of Sikhs in Delhi, the Dal Khalsa activists held a march.

Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi as anti-farmer and pro-capitalists, party chief Harpal Singh Cheema slammed the dictatorial attitude of the government.

The activists carried placards highlighting November 1984 justice denied and UN silence baffling. Another placard supported agitating farmers.
