The Aam Aadmi Party is eying a victory in the 2017 Punjab�Assembly elections.� Before Kanwar Sandhu, a number of other renowned personalities had joined the party, including comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi.
Sandhu has been an avid supporter of the Aam Aadmi Party.� He was recently in the limelight for interviewing police-cat Gurmeet Pinky.� The duo worked on a series of interviews in which Pinky highlighted the role�of several senior ranking police officials in mass murders of Sikhs during the Sikh freedom movement in the 1990s.� While Pinky publicized several facts, he later took a u-turn on his statements.
Both were also involved with a violent incident with Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana.� Following the incident, Sandhu was rumoured as �pro-Badal� by several outfits, however, his joining of the Aam Aadmi Party has debunked such doubts.� All of these were however rumours, as Sandhu has suffered immense loss at the hands of the Punjab Government.� In a severe blow to freedom of press in Punjab, his TV channel �Day & Night News� was shut down by the Government.
