“We went to Pakistan in 1984 as well, didn’t we?” he added. According to him, if the fugitive decides to flee to Pakistan, it’s ‘justified by Sikh history’ as a result of his life is in peril and the authorities is ‘oppressing us.’
His comment is in reference to the 1984 occasions that ultimately sparked the anti-Sikh riots. In order to get rid of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and different Khalistani terrorists, Indira Gandhi, then-prime minister of India, gave the order for Operation Blue Star. Her Sikh bodyguards later murdered her, and the following outcry over her passing gave rise to the 1984 Sikh Massacre.
There was a great probability Pakistan would have aided the Khalistani separatists and recognised the brand new nation if it had been introduced, based on Lieutenant General KS Brar, who oversaw Operation Blue Star.
His feedback got here amid experiences that the chief of the ‘Waris Punjab De’ might give himself up earlier than Baisakhi on the Akal Takht on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Takht Damdama Sahib in Bathinda, or the Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib in Anandpur Sahib within the Rupnagar area.

The improvement occurred simply in the future after he made a video request to the pinnacle of ‘Akal Takh,’ the best political establishment of Sikhs, to summon a gathering of the ‘Sarbat Khalsa’ (congregation of Sikhs) on Baisakhi, which falls on April 14. He is mentioned to have recorded the video in Uttar Pradesh and uploaded it from the United Kingdom.
He tried to enter Amritsar by utilizing the automobiles of a ‘Jalandhar Dera’ (Sikh lodge) the place he stayed. He arrived within the metropolis on March 27 with the help of Papalpreet Singh, and so they had been lodging on the facility related to ‘Takht Huzoor Sahib’ in Nanded, Maharashtra.
The pair travelled to Hoshiarpur in a Toyota Innova from there for an interview with a global channel. However, the counter-intelligence wing of the Punjab Police received the wind of their plan. They started pursuing the automobile which was stopped at Marnaian village, beneath Mehtiyana police station limits.
The duo fled in a Maruti Swift automobile, however the police arrested two Dera males who had been accompanying Amritpal Singh in one other automobile. The Toyota Innova that the Radical Sikh is claimed to have pushed to Hoshiarpur had a bogus registration quantity, which was later found. Now, the police are looking for the Maruti Swift.
Recently, the Jathedar of Akal Takht, Giani Harpreet Singh requested Amritpal Singh to give up earlier than the police and cooperate with the investigation in a video. Earlier within the day, it was reported that he was eager to give up on Baisakhi, which is taken into account an auspicious day for Sikhs.
Amritpal Singh, who lately tried to method Amritsar, is presently constrained to a ten to 12 kilometre radius after escaping from Hoshiarpur. Police may compel him to give up, a lot sooner than Baisakhi, nonetheless, he has declared that he is not going to give up.
The Sarbat Khalsa could also be held at Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib (Anandpur Sahib) or Takht Sri Damdama Sahib (Bathinda) if Akal Takht considers his enchantment. The Golden Temple, Takht Damdama Sahib, and Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib are three important Sikh sanctuaries the place safety has been stepped up by the police.
