Dal Khalsa to convene assembly of minorities

Amritsar, December 6

In an extraordinary step, the Dal Khalsa has announced to convene an assembly of leadership and delegates of struggling minority nationalities -Kashmiris, Sikhs, Tamils, Nagas, Twiprassa and others in Amritsar on December 10, to deliberate on the deteriorating human rights situation in India.

To challenge the brutalisation, police excesses, growing intolerance and centralisation process of the Indian state and to express solidarity with struggling nationalities, peoples and regional identities, we have resolved to call for this meet, said party’s senior leader Kanwar Pal Singh at a press meet held at party office here on Monday.

Elaborating the plans, he said there would be joint visit to the Golden Temple in the morning and the conference will start at local hotel around 5 in the evening.

Denouncing the recent attack on innocent civilians in Nagaland, party general secretary Paramjeet Singh Tanda held the Union government responsible for such tragic incidents as they believe its a result of the state providing impunity to its security forces. — TNS
