Congress party has said that the comments made by party MP Charanjit Singh Channi in support of Khalistani MP Amirtpal Singh are his own and he does not represent the party’s views
Amritpal Singh said, "Dreaming of Khalsa Raj is not a crime; it is a matter of pride. We cannot even think of stepping back from the path for which millions of Sikhs have sacrificed their lives. I have often said from various stages that if I had to choose between the Panth and my family, I would always choose the Panth."
Amritpal Singh had contested the Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate from the jail in Assam and won the Khadoor Sahib parliamentary seat in Punjab.
The wife Amritpal Singh’s aide Daljit Singh Kalsi today announced that her husband will be contesting the by-poll from Dera Baba Nanak assembly constituency.
Two of Amritpal Singh's accomplices who are in jail with him, have announced that they will contest Punjab Assembly Elections by-polls from Gidderbaha and Barnala constituencies.
