Earlier in the day, Mr Sukhjinder Singh Jainpur, who has been on an indefinite fast for the past five days was forcibly shifted to the Sector 16 General Hospital by the police for a medical examination.

He said he was ready to lay down his life in the struggle for the sake of his companions. Manju, hailing from Singh Bait village in Jalandhar district asserts: “It is better to die once for a noble cause than to live a life of unemployment, leading towards a “slow death”. Sharing her achievements, she claimed to have represented India in 2003-04 games held in Taiwan and in various national-level tournaments organised in the various parts of the country. Belonging to a peasant family, Manju, the eldest of her two siblings, said: “My father made a lot of efforts to provide me the best he could. He hoped that one day I will be able to stand on my feet and support my brother and sister, but the state government’s apathy has shattered his dreams.” Another protesting girl, Arvinder Kaur, a hockey player from Amritsar district, pledged that if something happened to Manju” during the protest, she would also join the fast unto death in her place.
