Jagmeet Singh Brar

Jagmeet Singh Brar (born 23 May 1958 in Bam, Muktsar District (Punjab)) is an Indian politician, lawyer, writer and poet who belongs to the Indian National Congress. He was elected to the 10th Lok Sabha in 1992 and to the 13th Lok Sabha in 1999 representing the constituency of Faridkot in Punjab. He is also known as Awaaz-E-Punjab.

He holds a M.A. and LL.B. from Punjabi University in Patiala.

He was in thick of controversy recently due to several badly decayed dead bodies of children found in the premises owned by him in outskirts of Muktsar. He has denied any involvement since the property is actually leased by another party. Mr. Brar has even alleged that this might be a propaganda tactic launched by his political opponents keeping in view the coming state level elections.
