Deep Sidhu: Lawyer and Punjabi actor who became a controversial political activist

India Today  

On Tuesday night, Punjabi actor Deep Sidhu died in a road accident when his vehicle rammed a stationary truck on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway in Haryana near Delhi. Deep Sidhu hit the national headline during the farmers’ agitation against three farm reforms laws in late 2020 and early 2021. During his association with the farmers’ protest, Deep Sidhu first supported the agitators, then set up his camp, voiced his opposition to the farm reforms laws before deviating towards nuances of federalism of the Constitution, and shot a video of the Red Fort violence on January 26 last year that led to his arrest in the case. He led the mob at Red Fort today & unfurled the Sikh religious flag there pic.twitter.com/dX9bQjAIim — Prashant Bhushan January 26, 2021 However, Sunny Deol dissociated himself from Deep Sidhu, saying he had nothing to do with the Red Fort violence accused though they were together during the Lok Sabha election. SEPARATE CAMP As farmer leaders resented because they considered Deep Sidhu’s stance as deviation from their core issues of farm reforms laws, the Punjabi actor set up his separate camp.
