Amritsar (Punjab) [India], Balwinder Kaur, mother of jailed Khalistani separatist and winner of Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat Amritpal Singh, on Friday said she urged the government to release Amritpal Singh from jail.
Earlier today, Amritpal Singh was sworn in as a Member of Parliament on Friday under tight security at the Parliament complex.
"I congratulate all the supporters...He should also have been allowed to take oath as a Lok Sabha MP in June along with other MPs. Supporters are very happy that he took oath as a Lok Sabha MP. I request the government to release him from jail," Balwinder Kaur told ANI.
Amritpal Singh's father Tarsem Singh said the government should allow the people of Punjab to meet him once.
"I congratulate all the supporters. We have not been informed about the information that has reached here or not (from Dibrugarh jail)... This is a matter of joy for Khadoor Sahib voters and Punjabis residing across the world....There was speculation about whether he would be an MP or not, but that will come to an end today...The government should allow the people of Punjab to meet him once...He should be released unconditionally," Tarsem Singh. he told ANI.
Meanwhile, supporters of 'Waris Punjab De' chief distribute sweets and offer 'Ardas' at a Gurdwara ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of him as Lok Sabha MP.
Jailed Amritpal Singh was escorted out of Dibrugarh Jail in Assam by a team of Punjab Police on Friday morning.
In the recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Singh contested and won as an independent candidate from Khadoor Sahib parliamentary seat in Punjab. He managed a huge margin of 1,97,120 votes, defeating his closest rival Kulbir Singh Zira of the Congress.
Singh was arrested by Punjab police in April last year, weeks after he evaded police and a strict National Security Act was invoked against him.
His parents, Tarsem Singh and Balwinder Kaur, and his wife Kirandeep Kaur, met the imprisoned activist in Dibrugarh Central Jail last month after his Lok Sabha victory.
Voting for 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab was held on June 1 in the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections were held from April 19 to June 1 in seven phases. Votes were counted and results declared on June 4, leading to the formation of the 18th Lok Sabha.
