The parents of ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief and Sikh separatist Amritpal Singh have started taking initiatives to get their son out of prison after his win in the Lok Sabha election. An application has been filed for his release so that he could take oath as a member of parliament.
Amritpal Singh’s parents went to meet him at the central jail in Assam’s Dibrugarh. Amritpal Singh’s wife Kirandeep Kaur, who has connections with the terrorist organisation Babbar Khalsa, has been here since 5th June.
The family members can be doing anything within their power to secure Amritpal Singh’s release.
The family of the newly elected Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha MP filed an application for his temporary release to take the oath of office as required by the constitution for all Members of Parliaments (MP).
His family members reached Dibrugarh to complete all the legal formalities before filing the plea before the local District Magistrate (DM) for his temporary release for the oath-taking. ‘The jail officials would now have to approve his plea following the suggestion of the local District Magistrate’, according to the legal expert. However, it seems that he is unlikely to get any relief and the oath can be administered later.
His father Tarsem Singh said, ‘We are very happy that our son has won the elections and have come to meet him so that he will also feel happy that people love him and elected him by such a huge margin. He asked to thank every voter who supported him’, Singh added, ‘He will work to serve the public. The public has given him such a huge mandate. The government should withdraw all the cases and allow him to raise Punjab’s voice in the Lok Sabha’.
Meanwhile, Amritpal Singh will also write to the Punjab government to seek temporary release to take the oath. ‘Under Section 15 of the NSA, Amritpal Singh is writing to the Punjab government seeking temporary release for the oath-taking. First, it is the government’s prerogative to give him parole. If the government does not release him, we will move court’, said his lawyer Imaan Singh Khara.
