Amritpal Singh

Amritpal Singh Sandhu is a radical Indian Khalistani separatist, and a self-styled Sikh preacher. After living in Dubai for a decade, he returned to Punjab in September 2022 — having been controversially appointed as the leader of Waris Punjab De — and started a campaign which encouraged youth to refrain from drugs, adopt a traditionalist form of Sikhism, and advocated a sovereign Sikh state ("Khalistan").
