Regarding release of Bandi Sikhs who have completed their
sentence; demand for immediate release
SHRI AMRINDER SINGH RAJA WARRING (LUDHIANA): Thanks
Hon?ble Chairperson for permitting me to speak. Any person
committing a crime in the country gets punishment in terms of
provisions of the Constitution and such mandatory punishment is a
good thing. But as per the same Constitution, a person completing
the sentence should be released as per the law of the land but
hundreds of people of Punjab having completed the sentence are
not being released. Majority of them are Sikhs alongwith others,
too, who are called ?Bandi Sikhs?. Release of such persons is
being deliberately stayed even after they have completed the
sentence. Some of such friends are sitting on a Dharna at Mohali
for the past one and a half year. So, I demand that such persons,
Bandi Sikhs or otherwise, should be released as soon as possible.
Similarly, I have to submit that two MPs, particularly Harsimrat
Kaur Badal and Ravneet Singh Bittu repeatedly meet the country?s
Home Minister and get such release stopped. I demand the
immediate release of the concerned persons who have completed
their sentence.
