Dakha MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali has strongly opposed the denial of permission to Member of Parliament Amritpal Singh to attend the cremation and final rites of his grandmother, Mata Charan Kaur.

The MLA stated that participating in the final rituals during such a major family tragedy is not an extra concession, but a fundamental right of every individual.

According to him, hesitating to grant parole to a representative elected by millions of voters on the occasion of his grandmother's cremation directly reflects a biased attitude.

Pointing a finger at the behavior of the ruling parties, Ayali said that such conduct increases the feeling of alienation within the Sikh community. He questioned whether the rules of justice would be kept separate even in times of grief.

The MLA demanded that the court and administration keep human values in mind and immediately grant parole to Amritpal Singh so that he can complete the final rituals.
