Qaumi Insaaf Morcha Plans August 15 March for Release of Sikh Prisoners
On August 15, the Qaumi Insaaf Morcha plans a protest march to the Punjab governor's residence in Chandigarh, demanding the release of Sikh prisoners detained since the 1980s and 90s. Security has been heightened to manage potential disruptions, as previous marches led to clashes. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) supports the protest, highlighting concerns over prolonged incarceration of prisoners who have completed their sentences and urging humanitarian considerations, including parole for ill prisoners to meet family.
