Hoshiarpur: Dal Khalsa has dedicated this year’s World Human Rights Day (WHRD) to the rights of farmers and political prisoners from Kashmir to Punjab to central India.
To commemorate the 72nd anniversary of Rights Day, the Dal Khalsa leaders released the poster in this regard during a press conference held here today. They demanded the release of those prisoners, who were framed in false cases due to their political belief and ideology beside those who have completed their jail term, alleging that their detention was illegal.
President Harpal Singh Cheema said Indian government continues to violate human rights through aggression and black and draconian laws. He said taking undue advantage of the countrywide lockdown, the present Government targeted all those sections that are politically and ideologically opposed its fascist policies and framed them in fake cases. He referred to the names of the students of JNU and Jamia Millia Islamia who were booked under UAPA in connection with Delhi violence. He said ever since the Modi government 2 has been formed, the rights excesses in Kashmir, Punjab, Delhi and elsewhere has increased manifold. He said the protesters against CAA and NRC, abrogation of Article 370 and recently enacted three contentious farm laws have met with batons and prisons.
