Amritpal Singh Won From Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha Seat

Amritpal Singh, who fought the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an independent, won from the Khadoor Sahib seat defeating Congress candidate Kulbir Singh Zira. He heads the 'Waris Punjab De' outfit and has styled himself after slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

Singh was jailed along with nine of his associates under the NSA. He was arrested in Moga's Rode village after he and his supporters on February 23 last year barged into the Ajnala police station breaking barricades, brandishing swords and guns, and clashed with police personnel in an attempt to free one of his aides from custody.
