Introduction: In India, it is largely cases involving the poor and the down-trodden – who are the victims of class-bias – which result in an imposition of a death penalty. Here one hardly finds a rich or affluent person going to the gallows.
Therefore, it is apparent that the death penalty, as it is used now, is discriminatory. It strikes mostly against the disadvantaged sections of society, showing its arbitrary and capricious nature – thus rendering it unconstitutional.
Introduction: We are asking all members of the Sikh community to be vigilant.

Introduction: On behalf of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) I wish to state that we are ashamed that Justices of the Supreme Court GS Singhvi and Gyan Sudha Misra have asked the senior Supreme Court counsel Colin Gonsalves whether the petitioner Sikh’s for Justice is a “foreign body altogether as even your members are not Indiansâ€. This bench further asked the petitioners counsel whether the organization he represented “was involved in terrorist activities in Punjab in the 1980sâ€.
We think this is a disgraceful and demeaning act of the two judges to ask such communal questions because the Sikhs have been demanding justice since 1984 when they were subjected to the crime of genocide being perpetrated against them by the Hindu state. Such questions show the biased, prejudiced and poisonous minds of the two bigoted, right-wing Hindu judges.
