Exhilaration in Assam: Powerful ‘Waris Punjab De’ Chief Amritpal Singh Freed from Dibrugarh Jail, Prepares to Take Oath in Delhi Today
Amritpal Singh, the head of ‘Waris Punjab De’ and recently elected Member of Parliament (MP) from Khadoor Sahib, Punjab, is slated to be sworn in today. Singh achieved this significant political milestone after contesting independently in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where he triumphed over Congress candidate Kulbir Singh Zira by a substantial margin of 1,97,120 votes.
Singh’s journey to Parliament has been unconventional. Prior to his electoral success, he was incarcerated as a radical Sikh preacher and held in Dibrugarh jail in Assam. Despite these circumstances, Singh’s electoral campaign evidently resonated with the voters of Khadoor Sahib, culminating in his decisive victory.
Today, marking a remarkable turnaround in his career, Singh will take the parliamentary oath. Facilitating this critical event, he has been transferred from Dibrugarh jail to Delhi, underscoring the importance of his new role as a legislator. The parliamentary swearing-in ceremony will not only formally induct Singh into the nation’s legislative process but also highlight his journey from a jailed preacher to a member of India’s central legislative body.
As Singh prepares to embark on his new responsibilities within Parliament, his story underscores the complexities and transformative possibilities of political life in contemporary India.
