Balkar Singh, member of 45 Member Committee, a state level committee of Dera organization, said that the Dera Premis are not going to back off and the protest will continue till the movie of their spiritual guru is not screened on the silver screen in Punjab. “It is a matter of shame that such movie which will spread a good message against the usage of drugs and will divert people to good deeds is not being screened due to pressure politics by the state government. We will not stop protesting until the movie will be screened in Punjab”, he said.
Balkar Singh and other agitated dera followers alleged that no one from the administration have come to talk to them. “We are not bothered and will continue our protest”, said Gurjant Singh, another dera follower.
