SAD welcomes commutation of Bhai Rajoana’s sentence

Chandigarh, Nov 13 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday welcomed the NDA government’s decision to commute the death sentence of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana into life imprisonment as a ‘humanitarian gesture’ on the occasion of 550th birth celebrations of Sri Guru Nanak Dev, saying the gesture would bring a closure to the festering wounds of the Sikh community.

In a statement here, former minister Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said this decision would go a long way in assuaging the hurt feelings of the Sikh community who had to go through unspeakable repression and humiliation during those dark days when Punjab was pushed into terrorism by a series of insensitive and discriminatory moves of successive Congress governments at the Centre as well as the state.
