Path cleared for release of Lakha Sidhana and Mohanjit Sero from jail
The court has issued orders for the release of activists Lakha Sidhana and Mohanjit Sero, who were detained during the Mansa Insaf Morcha.
Social activists Lakha Sidhana and Mohanjit Sero, who were arrested during the ongoing Mansa Insaf Morcha in the Parvinder Singh Jhota case, are being released from jail today. The court has issued orders to release both leaders.
Addressing the gathering at the morcha, advocate Manpreet Singh Namol showed a copy of the court orders and informed about the decision. He said that with legal formalities completed, both leaders will soon come out. Following this announcement, joy was witnessed among the protesters.
This step has been taken following an agreement with the government regarding demands. Hardeep Singh Sidhu, media in-charge of the morcha's action committee, had earlier clarified that until all leaders, including Lakha Sidhana, are released, Parvinder Jhota's post-mortem and cremation will not be carried out.
Following the consensus reached between both parties, it has been decided to conduct Parvinder Singh Jhota's post-mortem at PGI Chandigarh and hold his final rites on November 6.
Earlier, the action committee held a five-hour meeting with a government panel involving Cabinet Minister Gurmeet Singh Khuddian and Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan, during which an agreement was reached on financial aid and a job for the family, as well as the release of the leaders.
