Who is Amritpal Singh?

[Khaaik]

Off late, I've been seeing this gentleman very often. Today I read a news piece calling him a follower of Santji, and somehow his story is related to Deep Sidhu. Can someone pls enlighten me what's happening?

My gut instinct is he is a government agent stirring up trouble in Punjab. Center Government BJP needs an excuse to put president rule in Punjab i.e to get AAP out. He comes out of nowhere saying he was in Dubai for many years doing dispatch for trucking service etc. THIS GUY is trouble!

He's not. Don't make assumptions without knowing anything about him. 

Read about him and watch his videos. 

Look at his socials from years before, he's always been like this and had those opinions. Don't give him the treatment that a lot of Punjabis and Sikhs gave Deep Sidhu calling him a government agent.

What I don't understand is how come he is getting all this attention? Is it something that he did or said? Or is he related to some popular personalities perhaps? Also, what is the objective of Deep Sidhu's organisation that he's said to be heading?

He is new to Sikhi, evident from answers given during interviews where he needs to call on more Gurbani quotes to refute questions on taking Amrit and avastha of a new abhikali like with the recent one on Pro Punjab TV. 

 

Time will tell where his allegiances lie, for now I have only seen positives and sing his praises, in all his talks he is pushing youth to take Amrit, stop drugs, stand in unity, fight for rights be it waters, language, independence, facing deep state and so on. Recognition that without Guru Sahib on side all else is bound to fail.

Watch and see. So far all is ok about him but you never know.

We keep falling for the same trap each and every time. A Sikh who tries to lift the Panth and Punjab out of his deep and endless abyss we entered into many decades ago will always face more opposition from apnay than even our enemies.

All those who are questioning how Amritpal Singh has achieved so much support and a base is Punjab do not understand the power of social media. Social media has caused revolutions in many countries such as the Arab Spring, do these people not know how much social media influences our community in Punjab. The youth these are very engaged with social media and social media has been used to create branches of supporters in many villages and this they are able to mobilise the youth to attend rallies with Amritpal Singh. Simranjit Singh Mann's victory was very much due to the use of social media by our youth. Another reason why Amritpal Singh has captured centre stage is that the Panth and especially the youth have in the last few years become much more grounded in reality and started to cleanse itself of the liberal BS that the likes of Ravi Singh and United Sikhs have bought into Sikhi. He talks unapologetically about how he wants Khalsa Raj just as Hindus openly talk of Hindu Rashtra, the youth wanted a leader who talks in such a manner and not some pyjamay talking constantly about helping others and Sarbat Da Bhalla. 

The opposition to Amritpal Singh is because he has done more for the Panth in the last few months than all our paper tigers combined in the last three decades. Look at Kuki Gill, he has been badmouthing Amritpal Singh for the last few weeks because since his release in 2009 his achievements for the Panth have been a big fat zero. He keeps harping on about how he sacrificed his career and how he is so highly educated as if no other Kharkoo sacrificed their entire families for the Panth and all he has sacrificed is his career.
