The Punjab police on Saturday claimed that radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh and his associates pose a serious threat to the life of chief minister Bhagwant Mann, in addition to being a threat to law and order in the state.
Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh has written an email to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking permission to attend the Parliament session from July 22, sources said
The police have made these claims in an affidavit submitted before the Punjab and Haryana high court, where they have cited few video clips recorded outside the Ajnala police station, reported The Times of India.
In these purported clips, the Khadoor Sahib MP can be heard saying that the chief minister is functioning in a manner that would ensure he meets the same fate as former chief minister Beant Singh.
Beant Singh was assassinated in a suicide bomb attack inside the state secretariat in August 1995.
“We warned CM Mann to not walk on the path of CM Beant Singh… CM Mann is still proceeding on the path earlier tread by him. Dilawar acted as a human bomb and blew up CM Beant Singh… CM Mann has ensured that several such Dilawar’s have taken birth out of this present crowd today,” Amritpal is heard saying in those videos.
