Heirs De Punjab
On September 30, 2021, Punjabi actor-turned-activist Sandeep Singh alias Deep Sidhu started an organization called Waris Punjab De (Waris Punjab). The main aim of the organization is to ‘protect and fight for the rights of Punjab and raise social issues.’ At that time, Daljit Singh Kalsi was close to Deep Sidhu and associated himself with the organization. Following the death of Deep Sidhu in a road accident, Amritpal Singh was appointed as the head of Waris Punjab De. Many people believe that Kalsi is behind the suspicious anointing of Amritpal as the Mukh Sevadar of Waris Punjab De. Since then, he has been Amritpal’s advisor and financier.
According to several media reports, Kalsi was part of a conspiracy to damage the Ajnala police station; on 23 February 2023, Khalistani sympathizers of Amritpal Singh and his supporters, armed with rifles, pistols, swords, and various hand-held weapons, stormed the Ajnala police station to protest the arrest of Amritpal’s aide Lovepreet Singh Toofan.
Some media sources also claimed that Daljeet Singh Kalsi was involved in active contact with Pakistan through its Consulate General in Vancouver, Canada, and was seen submitting a memorandum against India to the Consulate General of Pakistan. He has also established several contacts in Pakistan through Dubai. On 18 March 2023, the Punjab police launched a massive crackdown on Punjab Waris Chief Amritpal Singh that arrested Daljeet Singh Kalsi, a close aide of Amritpal. Daljeet has been charged with Section 3 (2) of the National Security Act. According to the investigating agency, Daljeet Singh Kalsi’s account was credited with around Rs. 35 crores from foreign countries in the last two years. The agency has also kept about two dozen mobile phone numbers from Pakistan under scrutiny from which calls were made or received through Kalsi’s phone.
