INTERVIEW | Amritpal Singh: ‘Whether it’s going to be peaceful or violent depends on the state’

Before he became Amritpal Singh Khalsa and took over Waris Punjab De, Amritpal Singh Sandhu, 30, used to dress in T-shirts and jeans, was clean shaven, and had short hair. A Sandhu Jat Sikh, a land-owning caste in Punjab, Amritpal looked after his family’s transport business in Dubai. After a decade abroad, he returned to his native village in Amritsar’s Jallupur Khera last September and within days got himself baptised in an ‘Amrit Sanchar’ ceremony, a practice started by Guru Gobind Singh, at Anandpur Sahib gurdwara and started imitating Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

As an atheist I see Sikhism also as a hollow ideology...jyot leaves body and went in a book is BS
