Jailed Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh s entry into the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat as an Independent candidate, campaigning on a pro-Panth, anti-drug platform, has stirred politics in the region bordering Pakistan. Supporters have placed posters of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, highlighting the seat s Panthic sentiment. Amritpal s manifesto focuses on ending the drug culture, releasing prisoners, and ensuring justice in sacrilege cases. While his work against addiction is praised, there are concerns about his pro-Khalistani stance leading to separatism. The contest also includes candidates from SAD (Amritsar), Congress, and BJP, making it a crucial four-cornered contest.
