AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang raises issue of Bandi Sikhs in Parliament

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Sri Anandpur Sahib MP Malvinder Singh Kang raised the issue of Bandi Sikhs in Parliament on Thursday, urging their release on humanitarian grounds.

“These people have completed their sentences. They have been in jail for 25 to 30 years. Considering their human rights, they should be released. The government had issued a notification promising their release,” Kang said.

He reminded the government of its 2019 announcement under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to release Sikhs who have been imprisoned in Punjab jails for decades.
