Hundreds of supporters of Punjab-based 바카라Waris Punjab De바카라 group protested against the arrest of pro-Khalistan leader Amritpal Singh's close aide Lovepreet Toofan. Visuals emerged of protestors breaking through police barricades with swords and guns outside Ajnala Police Station in Amritsar.
Amritpal Singh, who is the chief of the group 'Waris Punjab De' along with five of his aides are charged with allegedly kidnapping and thrashing Varinder Singh, a resident of Chamkaur Sahib in Rupnagar district. Amritpal Singh had also reportedly issued a threat recently to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying he will meet the same fate as that of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Following his remarks, BJP spokesperson RP Singh Khalsa asked why the AAP government in Punjab has been soft on "fringe element" like Amritpal Singh.
In a tweet, Khalsa asked, 바카라Why @BhagwantMann govt. has been soft on his radical activities? Is it part of @AAPPunjab바카라s payback strategy.바카라 Khalsa also asked whether the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) 바카라will stand up and condemn바카라 the statement of Amritpal, who claims to represent the community.
Singh has claimed that the FIR registered against him and his aides had a political motive and threatened of consequences if it wasn't cancelled within one hour. The organisation 'Waris Punjab De' is founded by actor and activist Deep Sidhu who died in a road accident in February last year.
