Waris Punjab De chief and Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh will take oath as Lok Sabha MP on Friday. He got four days parole by the district magistrate of Amritsar from where he was arrested on April 23, 2023.
The Khalistani preacher won from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat in the Lok Sabha elections while being lodged in a jail in Assam’s Dibrugarh.
Singh, 31, will be flown in from Assam to Delhi for his oath and his parole period of four days will start from July 5. The parole order, which mentions 10 conditions, stated that the period of temporary release will include the time taken for the journey from the central jail in Dibrugarh to Delhi and back.
He will “not enter the territorial jurisdiction of any place other than New Delhi during the period of temporary release,” it stated. “Amritpal Singh or any of his relatives shall not be permitted to videograph any statement of Amritpal and/or circulate any such statement in any electronic form,” according to the order.
He will also “refrain from doing any action or making any statement that is prejudicial to national security”, the order added.
Singh, who styled himself after the killed Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, was jailed along with nine of his associates under the National Security Act.
