    Amritpal, who was on the run, now released the video

    Punjab. Amritpal has recently released the video. He has called upon the people of the Sikh community in India and abroad to fight against injustice. He said that his associates have been arrested and NSA has been imposed on them. In the video, fugitive Amritpal can be heard saying that Sikhs have to unite for a greater cause. In the video, Amritpal Singh narrated the incident of March 18. At the same time, he said that the government has tortured all the people, even women and children. The government has not even followed the 24-hour call of Jathedar Akal Takht. Amripal mentioned one of his companions, in which he says that Bajeka was an ordinary Sikh and NSA was also imposed on him.

    Amritpal Singh has appealed to all Sikh organizations around the world to participate in Sarbat Khalsa on Baisakhi. At the same time, he said that the Jathedar should take a stand in this matter and all the Jathedars and Taksals should also participate in Sarbat Khalsa. Fugitive Amritpal further says, I appeal to all the Sikh people in the country and abroad to participate in the Sarbat Khalsa program to be held on Baisakhi. For a long time, our community is engrossed in putting up fronts on small issues. If we have to solve the issues of Punjab, then we have to be together. The way the government has cheated us, it has to be kept in mind. Many comrades have been arrested and NSA has been imposed, many of my comrades have been sent to Assam. That’s why I appeal to all Sikhs to assemble on the occasion of Baisakhi.

    The way the government has created fear among the people, they are ready to participate in this Sarbat Khalsa. This time’s Baisakhi should be historic. Let us tell you that Amritpal has released one of his recorded videos in Punjabi. In this video, Amritpal is once again trying to provoke people. Challenging the police and the system, fugitive Amritpal is saying that the time has come, people should gear up. If you don’t wake up, it will never happen again. At the same time, he is challenging the police once again.

    The police is expecting him to surrender at the Akal Takht or Takht Damdama Sahib in Amritsar. Security has been increased at both the places.

    Earlier on Tuesday night, in a village near Hoshiarpur town, Amritpal Singh and his henchman Papalpreet Singh once again dodged the Punjab Police.

    An official told IANS that an Innova vehicle was intercepted by the police at a naka but they managed to escape in the dark. There were three people including Amritpal Singh in it.

    A video of Amritpal Singh and Papalpreet Singh surfaced on Tuesday, in which they are roaming in a Delhi street without turbans and masks.

    A day earlier, the advocate general of the state had told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that the police was close to arresting Amritpal Singh.

    The High Court was hearing a petition seeking his release by a person who claimed that Amritpal Singh was under illegal detention in Jalandhar.

    The Advocate General clarified that Amritpal Singh has not been arrested and the police is making all efforts to arrest him.

    He said, Punjab is going through a sensitive phase and it involves national security. Thus, the arguments given should be confined to the arguments raised in the habeas corpus petition.

    After hearing the counsel for both the parties, Justice N.S. Shekhawat asked the counsel for the petitioner to show proof that Amritpal Singh was in illegal custody of the police.

    He said that the state has a clear stand that Amritpal Singh has not been arrested.

    Amritpal Singh has been evading arrest since March 18, changing his location repeatedly.
