Bhai Amritpal Singh, the Head of the Waris Punjab De outfit and a pro-Khalistani leader, was arrested. Nine of his accomplices have also been arrested from different places. His arrest has been made in connection with three separate cases registered in connection with the Ajnala incident that took place in the past.

Protests were also held at several places in connection with these arrests. Section 144 has been imposed in many districts of Punjab. There were also reports that the police may also invoke the National Security Act against Bhai Amritpal Singh. An alert has been issued to deal with any kind of situation in Punjab.

It is worth mentioning that after the Ajnala incident, there was a lot of pressure over the arrest of Bhai Amritpal Singh. The government was being severely attacked by the opposition over the issue.

Bhai Amritpal Singh was scheduled to attend the function at Rampura Phul in Bathinda today. Yesterday, some Hindu organisations had threatened to stage a protest if Bhai Amritpal Singh was not stopped from coming to Bathinda. Today, when Bhai Amritpal Singh's convoy left for Bathinda, the police had set up barricades on the way. Thus, some of his associates were arrested and later Bhai Amritpal Singh was taken into custody. Police are yet to officially confirm the arrest of Bhai Amritpal Singh and his father said he had no information about the arrest. There are reports of his father also being placed under house arrest by the Punjab Police. More details are still awaited.

Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira has appealed to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann not to invoke UAPA or NSA against Bhai Amritpal Singh as he is not involved in any terrorist activities. Charges can only be levelled against him in connection with the Ajnala incident.

Fifteen people accused in B.C. extortion cases file refugee claims, CBSA confirms

Canada’s border agency says 15 foreign nationals linked to ongoing extortion investigations have submitted refugee claims, a move that has drawn concern from local officials in Surrey as the region continues to grapple with a surge in extortion-related crime. The Canada Border Services Agency says each claimant will be assessed under federal asylum rules, but did not disclose the individuals’ nationalities or details of their applications. Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke says she is troubled by the development and argues that the public expects federal systems to prevent criminal suspects from u

WorkSafeBC issues more than 1.3 million dollars in penalties after fatal crane incident at Oakridge Park

The penalties stem from multiple investigations involving highrise projects in Vancouver and Victoria. Flores died when a large concrete form mould – measuring nearly 10 metres by six metres – fell 26 storeys after accelerating out of the side of the building while being moved between floors. E

Alberta ends fall sitting after sweeping use of notwithstanding clause draws scrutiny

Alberta’s fall legislative session closed this week with Premier Danielle Smith’s government advancing two major bills that relied heavily on the Charter’s notwithstanding clause, a move that has renewed debate over the limits of provincial authority and the protection of individual rights. The clause was applied four times in the sitting, shielding the legislation from certain court challenges for up to five years. The government first invoked the clause when it passed a law ordering more than 51 thousand public school teachers back to work following a three-week provincewide strike. Th

Advocacy groups shift legal strategy in bid to challenge Alberta’s gender care law

Two national advocacy organizations say they are pivoting their legal strategy as they continue efforts to challenge Alberta’s restrictions on gender-affirming care for youth. Egale Canada and the Calgary-based Skipping Stone Foundation launched a constitutional challenge last year after the province passed legislation prohibiting doctors from prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapy to people under 16, and from performing gender-affirming top surgery on anyone under 18. The groups say the path through the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has become significantly more difficult since th
