Akal Takht chief slams Haryana government over parole for Dera chief Ram Rahim

India Today  

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh strongly criticised the Haryana government for repeatedly granting parole to Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, calling it an insult to Sikhs and a threat to justice. Singh accused the government of treating Sikhs as second-class citizens by allowing parole for a convicted criminal while keeping Sikh prisoners in jail for decades, despite them completing their sentences. "While Sikh prisoners remain behind bars, a man convicted of rape and murder is being granted parole multiple times." Ram Rahim, currently serving a 20-year sentence in connection with two rape cases, was granted parole for a month on Tuesday.
