Amritpal Singh Arrested: Congress has reacted to the arrest of radical preacher Amritpal Singh. Punjab police on Sunday held the separatist leader after a massive manhunt that run for over a month. Reacting to the arrest, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala posed six questions to the Centre and the state government on various angles related to the entire matter. He questioned why the government is not coming out with the details of the probe that followed the crackdown on Amritpal Singh.

Surjewala said, " I want to ask 5-6 questions on the matter...

1. Who helped the anti-India propagandist and supporter of terrorists, Amritpal Singh escape in the first instance?
2. Where was Amrtipal hidden in all these days?
3. Who gave him shelter and where did he stay- are all these forces not anti-India? Who are the accomplices of Amritpal and why NIA, CBI and Punjab police are not disclosing the details?
4. Which foreign powers in Pakistan or elsewhere are supporting him and why is the government not coming out in the open with it? What action will it take?
5. Who are the co-conspirators of Amritpal operating from inside and outside India? What action will the government take?
6. Does Amritpal have a connection with somebody in the Centre or the state government?"

Surjewala continued, "I leave you (reporters) with these 6 questions to ask Modi government and Amit Shah."
