Shaminder Singh
Shaminder Singh (1947–1991) was twice
Member of Parliament from
Faridkot District in
Indian Punjab. Wildly popular during the militancy days, he was known for his independent spirit and boldly kept a respectable distance from
Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale which was appreciated as a dare-devil feat by the general public and largely and especially by the bureaucrats and the heavy-handed
Punjab Police officers, who not only allowed but even encouraged him to openly carry an
AK-47 on his person, turning him into a local version of self-styled sheriff let loose to up-keep law and order in the highly disturbed Punjab in those days of
militancy.
