We are also together with the Hindu community. We want to take everyone together and take Punjab forward. Punjab has suffered a lot” he said. He further said that there was a third party trying to defame the family saying that, “even today an advertisement has been printed in our name with our photos which is defaming us otherwise we will also take legal action against them. We condemn those who have put up these posters or advertisements here with our photos.” Amritpal Singh's family members said that we are also going to file a complaint with the police against this.

There, this Bibi Khalra said that we do not make any announcement to support BJP or Congress, He said that we will work for the good of Punjab and for the good of the Panth.
He said that two independent candidates have won in Punjab and both have won for the right of the sect. He said that we have fought the election on two issues, one is the issue of the Bandi Singhs, which is the issue of drugs and the other is the issue of ending the drug business.

He said that people are now electing independent candidates and not the panth. He said that both Amrit Pal Singh and Sarabjit Singh will work together for the interests of Punjab. “The people of Punjab are against bullying; these parties have put the youth of Punjab into drugs. Now the media should come forward and raise their voice against drugs for the benefit of the people of Punjab” he said.
