Chandigarh, September 27, 2018:

Leader of rebel AAP group Sukhpal Khaira on Thursday announced a 15 member Joint Action Committee (JAC) to prepare for the protest march from Kotkapura to Bargari on October 7.

In a statement, Khaira said that the first meeting of the JAC will take place at Faridkot on September 29 to finalise the programme. The decision to set up the JAC had been taken at an “all-party” meeting held at Chandigarh on September. 21.

Khaira criticised Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal for announcing rallies at Lambi and Patiala allegedly to torpedo the proposed October 7 protest march, seeking justice for the desecration of Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji and killing of two Sikh youth at Behbal Kalan on October  14, 2015 in police firing.

He alleged that Captain Amarinder Singh and the Badals were hand in glove to deny justice on the vital issue of desecration and killing of two Sikh youth both now planned rallies to divert attention of people from the proposed protest march, he added.

Khaira said that October 7 will be a litmus test of all right-thinking Punjabis and the Sikhs, whether they should attend the Lambi and Patiala rallies or Kotkapura protest programme.
