Amritpal Singh seeks parole for Parliament
Amritpal Singh is a politician who is currently in jail.
He wants to go to Parliament to talk about important problems in his area, like floods, drugs, and fake encounters.
The government said no, saying he could cause trouble.
He went to court to argue that he should be allowed to go to Parliament because it's important for him to do his job as a representative.
The court is thinking about it and will decide soon.
The session of Parliament ends on December 19, so there isn't much time left.
Amritpal Singh, a jailed MP under the NSA, sought parole to attend the winter session of Parliament.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court heard his plea but adjourned the matter to December 17.
Amritpal argued that his detention is preventing him from raising critical issues like floods, drug abuse, and alleged fake encounters in Parliament.
The Punjab government opposed his parole, citing security risks and the unenforceability of any undertaking regarding his speech.
Amritpal Singh won the 2024 Lok Sabha election while in jail and was granted a 4-day parole to take the oath as a member of Parliament.
