Bhim Singh, father of the deceased Parvinder Jhota, appealed to the public in Punjab to refrain from casting votes for his son, calling it a final tribute.
In a recent public appeal, Bhim Singh, the father of the late Parvinder Jhota, asked voters in Punjab not to cast their ballots for his son. Singh said that withholding votes would serve as the greatest tribute to Jhota's memory.
"आप को ना दें वोट," Singh repeated, urging the electorate to honor his son by denying him political support. The statement was delivered at a gathering of local residents and was reported by regional media.
Parvinder Jhota, who had been a prominent figure in local politics, passed away earlier this year. Singh's unusual request comes at a time when political parties are mobilising supporters ahead of upcoming elections.
Political analysts note that such a personal appeal could influence voter sentiment in the constituency, though its actual impact remains uncertain. The appeal underscores the emotional dimension that personal loss can add to electoral dynamics.
Authorities have not commented on the appeal, and the Election Commission has reiterated that voting decisions remain the prerogative of each citizen.
