AMRITSAR, Jan. 31 -- After the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief Harjinder Singh Dhami, Akal Takht jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh on Thursday condemned the parole granted to the dera Sirsa chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh ahead of the Delhi assembly polls.

"The inclusive spirit of the law is being killed by the government by repeatedly releasing Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim for political interests. On one hand, the government is clearly refusing to release the Sikh prisoners who have been languishing in the jails for decades despite completing their terms, on the other hand, it is granting parole to Gurmeet Ram Rahim repeatedly. This approach puts a question mark on the democracy of the country", he said.
