We are compelled to protest on roads.

Oppose the execution awarded to Bhai Rajoana-Jagminder Singh 
I am writing to express my deep concern that it was confirmed on 13 March that India is preparing to break its moratorium on the death penalty by hanging Balwant Singh on 31 March at 9 AM in Central Jail, Patiala.

By making this announcement India is signaling to the world that when it comes to Sikh prisoners it is prepared to break the moratorium and reverse the trend to abolish the death penalty. -
Jagminder Singh 

The most recent announcement also comes on the back of the pre-mature release last month of Kishori Lal, who was awarded the death penalty in the murder of three Sikhs with a chopper knife on 1 November 1984.
 
We Sikhs believe Indian judiciary has adopted a double standard in delivering justice with Sikhs and other minorities in India. It’s failed to punish the chief organizers of Sikh holocaust for the last 28 years but very quick in sending the Sikhs to gallows. We are compelled to protest on roads.

Therefore to oppose the execution awarded to Bhai Balwant singh Rajoana the details are given below:-

1.         Date: -                       27-03-2012
            Venue: -                    P.S. Tilak Nagar
           Timings: -                  1800 Hrs


2.         Date: -                       28-03-2012
            Venue: -                    India gate
           Timings: -                  1400 Hrs
