AMRITSAR, Oct. 7 -- The voting for the Tarn Taran assembly segment will be held on November 11, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced on Monday. "The counting of votes will be conducted on November 14," chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said. The seat fell vacant following the death of AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal, 62, on June 27 this year. According to the ECI notification, nomination filing will start on October 13, while October 21 will be the last date for filing the nominations. Scrutiny of the nomination will be held on October 22, with November 11 as the polling day. The assembly segment in Punjab is set for a multi-cornered contest with all the major political parties having named their candidates. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has fielded Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa for the bypoll, while the BJP has chosen Harjit Singh Sandhu as its candidate. The Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De), led by jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, holds considerable sway in the constituency and has not yet announced its candidate. The breakaway faction of SAD, led by Giani Harpreet Singh, has formed a panel to decide on its candidate for the election. On Sunday, Congress named Karanbir Singh Burj as its candidate for the bypoll. Meanwhile, Amritpal's father, Tarsem Singh, appealed to slain human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra's wife, Paramjit Kaur Khalra, to contest the bypoll on their ticket, but she has reportedly declined. Recently, Tarsem, in a statement, had also said that if Sandeep Singh alias Sunny, who is an accused in the murder case of Shiv Sena (Taksali) leader Sudhir Suri, announces to fight polls, then his party would support his candidature. Sunny had on September 10 attacked three former police officers inside Patiala Central Jail. On September 18, one of the victims, former inspector Suba Singh, 83, died of injuries. The other two cops, ex-DSP Gurbachan Singh and ex-inspector Inderjit Singh, had suffered injuries in the attack. However, Sunny's kin have made no statement in this regard. Ground reports suggest a possible tie-up between Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) and the SAD breakaway faction....
