NEW DELHI (July 15, 2014)—Bhai Charanpreet Singh’s hunger strike has entered its eleventh day. He is protesting against the lack of medical treatment for Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Although the Delhi High Court has ordered the Tihar Jail to transfer Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhai Charanpreet Singh has committed to not eat until the treatment begins.
Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara’s sister visited Bhai Charanpreet Singh again yesterday. She said even though Bhai Hawara is in great pain, he does not show any signs of it.
Bhai Charam Singh Shahpura, a member of the Delhi Shiromani Gurdwara Management Committee also came to meet with Bhai Charanpreet Singh. A number of Gursikhs from Punjab and other places were also present there such as Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa (Haryana) and Bhai Gurpreet Singh Guri.
