"We are pursuing the case of Khalistan in a very peaceful manner, when people can demand a Hindu nation why can't we raise a demand for Khalistan" (#AmritpalSingh)

Massive protests broke out against the arrest of pro-Khalistan leader #AmritpalSingh close aide Lovepreet Toofan. Supporters of the 'Waris Punjab De' chief held swords and guns and broke through police barricades erected outside Ajnala Police Station in #Amritsar.

Six police officers were injured amid the protests and were admitted to the Ajnala hospital.
#AmritpalSingh said "The FIR was registered only with a political motive. If they don't cancel the case in one hour, the administration will be responsible for whatever happens next.

They think we can't do anything, so this show of strength was necessary."
"Late Prime Minister #IndiraGandhi paid the price of opposing the #Khalistanmovement. Nobody can stop us, be it #Modi, @AmitShah or Bhagwant Maan," Amritpal Singh said....,

....adding, "the allegations levelled against me and my supporters are false."
The grandniece of #JawaharLalNehru, Nayantara Sahgal, presciently wrote in @TheGuardian1996 on August 5, 2017 that “another partition (of India) stares us in the face”.

She accused #Modi’s #RSS of “dividing India once again into Hindus and others as the RSS wants to make the country a #HinduRashtra”. And she concluded that “we are rapidly marching towards a horrifying future”.
