[5] He also served as the spokesperson for the Prof Mohan Singh Memorial Foundation which lobbied for an apology from the federal government for the 1914 Komagata Maru incident.

As such Sandhu spoke out against the costs of the Conservative government's crime bills which involved minimum sentencing, internet surveillance, and opening large new penal facilities.
He sought re-election in the 2015 Canadian federal election in the riding of Surrey Centre but was defeated by Randeep Sarai of the Liberal Party of Canada who went on to form a majority government.
