<p>Days after jailed Waris Punjab De chief&nbsp;Amritpal Singh won the Khadoor-Sahib seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, American-Sikh lawyer Jaspreet Singh has reached out to US Vice-President Kamala Harris and is seeking her intervention in securing his release.</p>

<p>Singh is currently imprisoned in Assam's Dibrugarh jail on terror charges from where he fought India's general elections as an independent candidate and won.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking the jailed leader's side, the lawyer contended that Amritpal Singh's detention is "unjust". He also claimed to have read the case&nbsp;thoroughly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amritpal Singh was a fugitive who evaded police radar for more than a month. However, he was nabbed in April last year from Punjab's Moga district and was put in jail as Punjab Police invoked the National Security Act (NSA) against him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a video shared by the lawyer on YouTube, he could be seen saying, "I have met Vice President Harris twice in the last two-three months. We discussed immigration issues and Amritpal Singh's case. She has agreed to meet me on June 11."&nbsp;</p>

US lawyer seeks Kamala Harris' intervention for release of jailed Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh

<p>Prime Video today announced and unveiled the trailer of their upcoming stand-up special Koi Load Nahi featuring popular stand-up comic Jaspreet Singh.<br />
<br />
With his first-ever standup special, Jaspreet promises to take viewers worldwide on a hilarious ride premiering on 29th March 2022.<br />
<br />
The show sees Jaspreet offer his quirky take on mundane topics such as the ever-growing motivation market, godmen and serious parenting to the “tough” bouncers like his doorbell, the salad he made and the absurdity of being a teenager.<br />
<br />
Directed by Karan Asnani and Produced by Myoho Films, Blip and LVC, 'Koi Load Nahi' is a perfect amalgamation of his niche observations, signature laid back attitude and quick-paced punchlines.</p>

<p>Jaspreet Singh, Stand-Up Comedian said, “Koi Load Nahi is very close to my heart as this is my first comedy special after doing comedy for 7 years and obviously, it's a big moment personally and professionally. I have toured this show to over a hundred and fifty rooms in India and abroad and the love and appreciation it has garnered so far is tremendous. Once the show premieres digitally on Amazon Prime Video, it will have a totally different journey for me and I am grateful to Amazon for placing their trust on me and my process. This surely presents me an incredible opportunity to reach out to a global audience. Koi Load Nahi is my take on all true stories or thoughts of my life. It’s not made like a show but a film which has a pretty chilled out vibe, just like the name of the show and I really hope audiences vibe to it. I hope people will enjoy it as much as my team and I enjoyed touring and making it.”<br />
