He is best known for Sardar Saab and Jagga Jiunde E. Kalsi was a close aide of the founder of Waris Punjab De and actor-turned-activist Deep Sidhu.
Like Sidhu, Kalsi also propagated for Khalistan.
After Sidhu’s death, he got associated with Amritpal Singh.

He is believed to be among the group of 10 close associates of Amritpal, who has been with him from the day he arrived in India on 20 August 2022.
He was made the Waris Punjab De in-charge for Moga.
Bhagwant Singh alias Pradhan Mantri Bajeke is an “outspoken Sikh radical” who was on and off associated with Deep Sidhu and then Amritpal Singh.

A case against Bhagwant was registered in Moga under the Arms Act in November last year.
He also has other cases registered against him in Moga including an attempt to murder case from 2015. He is out on bail in all cases.
