Sonepat, October 20

Nihang Sikhs have given an open call for “mahapanchayat” at Singhu Border on October 27 to decide their next course of strategy after the recent brutal killing of a man at the border.

The Nihangs have decided to get public opinion on their stay at Singhu Border at the “mahapanchayat”.

Baba Balwinder Singh of Panth Akali Nirvair Khalsa, Udna Dal of Moya di Mandi said Baba Raja Raj Singh and Kulwinder Singh of Tarna Dal had decided to hold an all-religion mahapanchayat at the place.

Baba Balwinder Singh said they had given an open call to various persons and bodies that included all intellectuals of the Sikh community and the sangat of all relegions for the meeting. Farmers and their leaders could also join the meeting as it was an open call, he said.

The decision, which would be taken by the sangat at the ‘mahapanchayat’, would be acceptable to all. If the sangat would ask us to leave the border, we would leave from here, he said.

We had come here for the security of the protesting farmers and we are not among those who run away. We have accepted what we have done and our men in the court have also accepted it, he added.
