History never fails to repeat itself!

Big news is surfacing in the media once again—Dera Sacha Sauda chief Baba Ram Rahim has been granted a furlough of 21 days starting today, i.e., 9th April 2025.
According to sources, the chief’s daughter, Honeypreet, came to receive him for the parole at around 6:30 a.m.

Baba Ram Rahim has been staying in Sunaria Jail in Rohtak since 2017. This is the 13th time he has been granted parole or furlough by the Haryana state government, totaling 327 days over approximately 7 years.

This time, Baba Ram Rahim is allowed to stay at Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa—for only the second time since his imprisonment. Usually, his stay is planned at the Dera in Baghpat, UP.

The age-old question of Baba Ram Rahim’s parole and elections

According to sources, there are once again rumors—or coincidences—linking Baba Ram Rahim’s paroles with election periods in the state.
However, when questioned, the state government clarified that each parole was granted with the recommendation of the jail superintendent, and that every prisoner has the legal right to parole as per the specified guidelines.

The jail superintendent stated that, with some form of election occurring nearly every three months, it would be impossible to grant parole to any prisoner without overlapping with election periods. He also mentioned Baba Ram Rahim’s good behavior during his time in jail.

Public response to the repeated paroles granted to Baba Ram Rahim

According to available information, public opinion is divided into two major camps regarding Baba Ram Rahim’s paroles.
While some remain suspicious about the frequency of the paroles and their timing with elections, others view them positively—especially with the increasing participation in meditation programs organized by Dera Sacha Sauda.

The followers are celebrating the arrival of their chief and are always enthusiastic to welcome him.

The usual programs organized by the chief during his paroles

It has been observed that during his paroles, Baba Ram Rahim often conducts online satsangs from his place of stay.
Additional data reveals that these satsangs also include campaigns focusing on drug de-addiction, cleanliness, and environmental greenery.

Conclusion

While Baba Ram Rahim’s parole has sparked a range of public reactions, the chief has already made a public appearance to calm his followers and discourage them from making any rash decisions.
