New Delhi : Forever dying to be in the news and representing everything illegal, Khalistani Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has jumped to defend Punjab-origin truck driver who killed three people with a prohibited U-turn in the US.

Pannun, who works as an attorney, met Harjinder Singh and held a press conference outside the St. Lucie County Jail on Tuesday afternoon (US Time), reported WPBF News, an affiliate of ABC News. Though Pannun isn’t representing Singh, he spoke in favour of the illegal immigrant from Punjab.

There have been three lives that have been lost. We should all be grieving with the family, supporting the families and helping the families. Instead, it has become some political debate about Harjinder’s political status, about his actions, Pannun added.

Harjinder Singh was driving a tractor-trailer and made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike on August 12, killing three people, US authorities said.
Pannun said he “fled” India in 2018 “because he feared he would be persecuted because of his religion and because of his political opinion, being a pro-Khalistani.

Authorities said Singh illegally entered California in 2018, where he received a commercial driver’s licence, according to CBS News. Illegal immigrants to the US, the UK and Canada mostly use the rouse of political or religious persecution in order to prevent their deportation to India. The claim helps them stay on.
