Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address a rally in Gurdaspur on Sunday to mark the end of nine years of the NDA government in the centre. However, the actor and BJP member Sunny Deol may be mistaken for Gurdaspur.
Sunny Deol, who defeated his incumbent party colleague Sunil Jakhar from Congress in the 2019 general election, has not visited Gurdaspur since September 2020.
Sunny Deol was among the 40 high-profile campaigners of the party in the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, but in that election campaign too he was conspicuous by his absence. He even missed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally.
When asked if Sunny Deol will attend the Shah’s gathering on Sunday, BJP General Secretary Rajesh Bagga said, “As far as I know, Sunny Deol is busy with his son’s wedding.”
caucus for the Gurdaspur Parliamentary seat. The BJP contested the 2019 parliamentary elections in alliance with Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). The BJP-SAD alliance broke out in 2020 after it began agitating farmers – against the three repealed central farming laws – on the Delhi border. All eyes will now be on Shah to see if he confirms whether or not the BJP will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections alone.
Meanwhile, the Punjab Police arrested the leaders of the Quami Insaaf Morcha who were planning to hold a parallel rally in Gurdaspur on Sunday. Kwame Insaf Morcha leader Gurdeep Singh was arrested from his residence in Bathinda on Saturday morning. “I have been taken into custody for disrupting our planned rally near Amit Shah’s rally site in Gurdaspur on Sunday,” he said.
The purpose of the gathering was to demand justice and punishment for the perpetrators involved in the sacrilege incidents and release of Sikh prisoners, according to Gurdeep Singh. His son Yadwinder Singh stated that the Quami Insaaf Morcha planned a parallel demonstration near the Marriage Palace (in Gurdaspur) owned by a Morcha chief named Varinder Jit Singh Bajwa, who was also arrested.
Dal Khalsa has denounced these arrests, stating that it was a violation of human rights when a peaceful march cannot be organized.
