**Headline:** Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu Exposes Alleged Assassination Plot Linked to Pro-Khalistan Groups
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu has raised serious concerns regarding a purported assassination plot against him and other political leaders in Punjab, allegedly orchestrated by pro-Khalistan elements associated with the ‘Waris Punjab De’ organization, led by radical preacher Amritpal Singh. Bittu made these claims on Sunday, citing leaked screenshots from social media chats as evidence of the conspiracy.
In his statement, Bittu emphasized that the central government is taking the matter seriously, highlighting the potential threat posed by the leaders of ‘Waris Punjab De’. He warned that the activities of such groups could lead Punjab towards instability, reminiscent of its troubled past. The leaked WhatsApp messages reportedly indicate intentions to target Bittu and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, particularly in response to the extension of Amritpal Singh’s detention under the National Security Act (NSA) for an additional year.
Amritpal Singh, currently incarcerated in Dibrugarh jail in Assam, was detained under the NSA following his arrest on April 23, 2023, after a prolonged manhunt. His father, Tarsem Singh, criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for the extension of his son’s detention.
Bittu also criticized the AAP government for what he described as a “lenient stance” towards criminal elements disguised as political activists. He asserted that the central government will not permit anti-national forces to destabilize Punjab, reaffirming his commitment to peace and unity in the region.
“My grandfather, Beant Singh, sacrificed his life for peace in Punjab. Coming from a family of martyrs, I am undeterred by extremist threats. I will not allow Punjab to fall into darkness again. Those behind this conspiracy will face the consequences,” Bittu declared.
In conclusion, the allegations made by Bittu underscore the ongoing tensions in Punjab and the potential for violence linked to extremist groups. The situation remains critical as authorities monitor developments closely.
