Amritpal Singh Seeks Four-Day Parole to Attend Grandmother's Funeral and Bhog

A local court on Wednesday sought a response from the Punjab government on the parole application filed by Member of Parliament and Waris Punjab De leader Amritpal Singh. The court has scheduled the next hearing in the matter for November 13.
 

Amritpal Singh's grandmother passed away on the evening of Diwali. Her last rites are scheduled to be performed on November 14. An application has been filed seeking parole for Amritpal Singh, his uncle and another relative so that they can attend the funeral and related family ceremonies.
 

Advocate Karamvir Singh Pannu said the court heard the matter and sought the Punjab government's response. The next hearing will take place on November 13.
 

According to the advocate, parole has been sought for Amritpal Singh, his uncle and another relative from November 14, the day of the funeral, until November 17, when the bhog ceremony is scheduled to be held.
 

It may be recalled that the party has also written to the Union Home Minister, requesting that the matter be considered on humanitarian grounds and parole be granted to enable the family members to attend the funeral and bhog ceremony.
 

The court's decision on the parole request is awaited.
