SAD Chief Opposes Amritpal Singh's Year-Long Detention Extension

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal has criticized the Punjab government for extending Khadoor Sahib MP-elect Amritpal Singh's detention by a year, calling it a violation of human rights. Amritpal is locked in Assam’s Dibrugarh jail under the NSA. Badal accused Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of acting against Sikh and Punjab interests.

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal has sharply condemned the Punjab government's decision to extend Khadoor Sahib MP-elect Amritpal Singh's detention by one year, deeming it a 'clear violation of the Constitution and basic human rights.'

Amritpal Singh, who leads the 'Waris Punjab De' outfit, has been detained in Assam's Dibrugarh jail under the National Security Act (NSA) since last year. The extension of his detention, effective from April 23, 2024, has sparked strong opposition from Badal.

Badal accused Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of 'dancing to Delhi's tunes,' specifically on issues concerning Sikhs and Punjab, and argued that the decision clearly exposes Mann's anti-Punjab and anti-Sikh stance.
