So far, 18 Sikh political prisoners have been permanently released and long-serving prisoners have been granted temporary parole. What does this mean for Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa’s hunger strike and the Sikh political prisoners? In November 2013, Gurbaksh Singh started a hunger strike in Mohali to bring awareness to the issue of Sikh political prisoners. Present day, Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa is the individual on hunger strike and Captain Amarinder Singh is the political party in power. Will Captain Amarinder Singh and the INC practice what they preach and release the Sikh political prisoners?
