Amritsar: Tarsem Singh, father of jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, has announced that no other member of his family will contest elections apart from Amritpal Singh.
Tarsem Singh said the family has decided to stay away from the race for political positions and uphold its stand against dynastic politics.
Speaking in Amritsar, he said the decision was aimed at giving grassroots workers, honest leaders and young people an opportunity to take up leadership roles and work on issues concerning Punjab and the Sikh community.
He said the family’s role would remain limited to supporting the ongoing struggles concerning Punjab and panthic issues, rather than seeking political positions for themselves.
Tarsem Singh is working president of party
Tarsem Singh is currently serving as the working president of Akali Dal Waris Punjab De. His wife, Balwinder Kaur, has participated in campaigns seeking the withdrawal of the National Security Act (NSA) against Amritpal Singh and demanding his release, but does not hold any organisational position in the party.
Amritpal Singh’s uncle Harjit Singh has also been in jail since the March 2023 crackdown. According to the information provided, no other member of the family currently holds an organisational post in the party.
