Take up cases of Sikh detainees also: Dal Khalsa to Shinde

Amritsar: After the Union Home Minister asking Chief Ministers to ensure that no innocent Muslim youth was wrongfully detained in the name of terror, radical Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa on Monday urged Sushilkumar Shinde to take up cases of Sikh detainees also.

In a statement in Amritsar, Dal Khalsa head HS Dhami referred to what he alleged wrongful detention of Sikh youths in Punjab and elsewhere under the garb of fighting terror.

Citing instances of several "unwarranted detentions", he urged Shinde to take up cases of such Sikh detainees also. Shinde had shot off a letter to all Chief Ministers to ensure that no innocent Muslim youth was wrongfully detained in the name of terror.
