Punjab CM Mann Seeks Parole for Beant Singh Assassin Jagtar Singh Hawara

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has written to the Governor requesting a 10-day parole for Jagtar Singh Hawara, a convict in the Beant Singh assassination case.

This move marks a significant U-turn for the AAP government, which previously opposed such measures, now citing humanitarian grounds for the request.

The decision is viewed as a strategic outreach to the Sikh community, aiming to address long-standing demands regarding the release of long-term prisoners.
