Will NSA be removed from Amritpal Singh soon..

Amritsar : The National Security Act (NSA) imposed on Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh is set to expire on March 22, and the Punjab government has not issued any new extension orders so far. This development has raised speculation that the stringent preventive detention law may not be extended against him. The matter is scheduled for a hearing on March 25, where further legal proceedings will determine Amritpal Singh’s fate.

Amritpal Singh was arrested in April 2023 under the NSA due to his alleged involvement in separatist activities and his association with pro-Khalistan ideology. His detention was part of a broader crackdown by the Punjab government on radical elements in the state. Since then, he has been lodged in Dibrugarh Jail, Assam, along with several of his close aides, under stringent security measures.

Legal experts suggest that if the Punjab government does not issue fresh detention orders under the NSA before March 22, Amritpal Singh could be legally released. His legal team has been actively challenging his detention, arguing that the charges against him are politically motivated and that he has been denied a fair trial. The upcoming hearing on March 25 could be crucial in deciding whether he will remain in custody or be set free.

The Punjab government, however, has maintained a cautious stance on the issue. Officials have not made any public statements regarding whether the NSA will be extended or allowed to lapse. The delay in issuing new orders has led to widespread speculation among political analysts and Amritpal Singh’s supporters. His followers and pro-Khalistan groups have been closely monitoring the situation, and any decision regarding his release could have significant political and security implications in Punjab.

The central government is also reportedly keeping a close watch on the developments, considering Amritpal Singh’s past speeches and actions, which were seen as a threat to national security. If the NSA is not extended, the Punjab government may seek to keep him in custody under other legal provisions. Meanwhile, his supporters are hopeful that he will be released soon and have planned demonstrations if he remains detained beyond March 22.

With the hearing set for March 25, all eyes are on the Punjab government’s next move. The decision will not only impact Amritpal Singh’s future but could also influence the political landscape of Punjab, especially ahead of the upcoming elections.
