SGPC to approach United Nations 
SGPC wants List of Youths Killed by Police Cats
 

Police had demoralized the youth and turned them apostate 

Points at glance: 

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief warned that in case the government did not release the lists they would compile it on their own and raise the issue before the human rights forum of the United Nations. 

He said the human rights image of the country had taken a beating in the eyes of the international community. Not only this, extra-judicial measures adopted by the government during those days also dealt a blow to the judiciary and democracy in the country, he added.  

Talking to reporters, he said the government should also release the list of the ‘cats’ who carried rewards on their heads and the names of the police officers rehabilitated the terrorists and pocketed the reward money. Many police officers were also given out of turn promotions, he pointed out.  

The rehabilitation policy had demoralised the youth of the state and this was one of the reasons they were turning apostate, he added.

Ludhiana, March 1 

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief Avtar Singh today appealed to the government to release the list of the innocent youths killed by the rehabilitated terrorists (cats) so that parents of such victims stop search for their “missing” children.  

He was in the city to attend a function organised at Guru Nanak Engineering College on the completion of 100 days in office. 

Talking to reporters, he said the government should also release the list of the ‘cats’ who carried rewards on their heads and the names of the police officers rehabilitated the terrorists and pocketed the reward money. Many police officers were also given out of turn promotions, he pointed out.
