Sukhbir Badal further said that the SAD contested the Lok Sabha bypoll on principles and would continue to stand by them. “We had put up a nominee from the families of Sikh detenues in league with all panthic organisations. This was a principled fight. We will continue to strive to secure the release of the Sikh detenues including Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana who has been jailed for the last 28 years without parole."
"Another detenue Prof Dewinderpal Singh Bhullar is not being released despite official clearance given for his release because Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had not signed the release orders for the last seven months. Both these detenues as well as all others languishing in prisons even after completion of their life sentences should be released immediately," he added.
