LUDHIANA: PHRO Chairman Harinder Singh Khalsa has entered the electoral arena and has filed his nomination papers from the Dakha Assembly constituency in this district. He sent in his resignation as chairman of PHRO which the governing council accepted. The council in a resolution regretted Khalsa’s decision as unfortunate and said that the forum of human rights should never be used by anyone to join party politics. It was on that score that human rights activists had developed differences with former chairman Ajit Singh Bains and had removed him from the post.
