Amritpal Singh Takes Oath as Lok Sabha MP 

Jailed Amritpal Singh, who is lodged in a prison in Assam's Dibrugarh district for offences under the National Security Act, has taken oath as MP in Lok Sabha, along with Kashmiri leader Sheikh Abdul Rashid.

Singh, a Khalistani sympathiser who heads the 'Waris Punjab De' outfit, has been allowed to meet his family in Delhi; his parole was granted by the district magistrate of Amritsar from where he was arrested in April 2023 for barging into a police station in February and clashing with police personnel in a bid to free one of his aides from custody.

For taking oath, Amritpal Singh was granted a four-day custody parole, beginning July 5, in view of the travel from Assam to Delhi and back.
