Balasar (Sirsa), November 9
Kin of a section of members of the SGPC have started pouring into various farmhouses located in Sirsa district, where more than 100 members of the SGPC, have been staying put, to avoid harassment by the police after their premises were raided in these two days.

Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who along with his wife, Mrs Surinder Kaur Badal, nephew, Mr Manpreet Singh Badal and brother Mr Gurdas Badal has extended best hospitality, par excellence to five star hotels, at various farmhouses in Sirsa district of Haryana, said he would face no problem in taking care of the kin of members of the SGPC, who had fled their dwellings after the police unleashed a reign of terror.

Mr Jagdish Singh, son of Sant Hardev Singh Loolo, member, SGPC, who along with his mother reached the Balasar farmhouse of Mr Badal, alleged that raids were being conducted at their residential premises time and again and they were asked by the policemen to bring back Sant Hardev Singh, his father, to Punjab.

A son of Mr Joginder Singh Panjrath, a member of the SGPC based in Amritsar, who did not want to be identified, alleged that he had come here to evade arrest by the police and subsequently their harassment. He added that he was brought here by some of his friends clandestinely as a police party was continuously chasing him.

Mr Zora Singh Mann, MP, and Bibi Kiranjot Kaur (both members of the SGPC), who are managing the affairs at Balasar farmhouse, while talking to TNS asserted that they would not bow before the atrocities being committed on SAD workers by the Congress government: “it’s a war between the Sikh Panth and the Congress government and ultimately, Mr Gurcharan Singh Tohra and others, who have become toddies of the Congress government and Mr Ravi Inder Singh, will have to eat a humble pie,” they added.

SGPC members, who have been staying put here for the past many days seemed in a good state of mind. Members claimed that they were not under anybody’s pressure. They said as they were under threat in Punjab, they decided to stay at some places outside the state.

In the farmhouse, members of SGPC, who have been enjoying all sorts of facilities are also being provided with medical care. A doctor from a nearby town visits them daily to look after them.

A religious “divan” is being organised daily in the evening in the farmhouse. They were also honoured with few items of household use about two days ago.
