Waris Punjab De (meaning "heirs of Punjab")[1][2] is a Sikh political group based in Punjab, India. It was initially a pressure group advocating issues related to the state,[3] which subsequently became pro-Khalistan.[4] Deep Sidhu was the group's founder-chief until his death in February 2022.[4] Amritpal Singh took charge of the group after the death of its founder.[5]
