Patiala, Punjab: Kamaldeep Kaur, sister of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a Sikh Activist jailed innocently by Punjab Government, announced her candidature from Patiala for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Rajoana had announced through a letter from the high security Patiala Central Jail, whrere he is lodged, that he would field a candidate either from Patiala or Ananadpur Sahib.
The Patiala parliamentary seat is represented by Preneet Kaur, wife of former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, for last 14 years while Ravneet Singh Bittu, grandson of Beant Singh, represents Anandpur Sahib seat.
Holding a press conference here, Kamaldeep said following the directions of her brother she would contest against union minister of states for external affairs Preneet Kaur.
She said that Rajoana had asked her to contest against the Patiala royal family to expose that the former chief minister and his wife were working against the Khalsa Panth.
