Khadur Sahib MP and Amritpal Singh, who is in jail under NSA, has got a shock. The Punjab government has rejected the request for temporary release to attend the winter session of the Parliament. The session of Parliament is going to start from 1 December 2025. This decision of the Punjab Government was issued by the Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department of Punjab in compliance with the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Amritpal Singh has been in jail for almost two years. At present he is in Dibrugarh jail of Assam.
Challenge was given to NSA in Supreme Court
In the same month, Amritpal Singh had filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging his detention under the National Security Act (NSA). The Supreme Court refused to hear the matter on November 10 and directed the matter to be taken to the High Court.
Justice Arvind Kumar and Justice N.V. Anjaria’s bench directed Amritpal to approach Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court asked the High Court to complete the hearing and dispose of the petition within six weeks.
He had claimed in his petition that stopping the work of an elected MP is a violation of the constitutional rights of the people of his constituency. He said his detention under the NSA was politically motivated and a violation of democratic rights. Central and Punjab governments were made parties in the petition.
MP Amritpal Singh is in jail since March 2023
In March 2023, Punjab Police arrested Amritpal and his 9 associates. After this he was shifted to Dibrugarh jail under NSA. The MP, who was in jail for almost two years, had sought permission to attend the Parliament session. Amritpal is accused of supporting Khalistan, instigating war against the state and spreading radical ideology. He is the head of ‘Waris Punjab De’ organization and became MP by winning from Khadoor Sahib in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
