Punjab Cong MP receives threat call, asked to stop speaking against Amritpal Singh

LUDHIANA: Congress' Ludhiana MP and former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh's grandson Ravneet Singh Bittu on Sunday claimed to have received a call threatening him of dire consequences if he did not stop speaking against preacher and Khalistani sympathizer Amritpal Singh. Bittu, a three-time MP, is the grandson of Beant Singh who was assassinated in 1995.

Recently, Amritpal Singh's supporters, some of them brandishing swords and guns, broke though barricades and stormed into a police station complex in Ajnala on Thursday, camping there till they were "assured" that Singh's arrested aide would be released.
