Punjabnewsline, Chandigarh:
The issue of Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal's leadership is getting more complicated. On one hand, Sukhbir Badal is winning the trust of the district chiefs and the working committee by holding meetings in Chandigarh, while on the other hand, in the meeting of rebel leaders held yesterday, there was a long discussion about sidelining Sukhbir from the post of chief. According to the information, the working committee has put its stamp of confidence on Sukhbir Badal's leadership and advised him to continue in this post. Now, in the meantime, the reaction of the leaders of the opposition parties and the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Raghubir Singh is also coming to the fore.
According to the information, former Finance Minister of Punjab Parminder Singh Dhindsa was also present in the meeting of the rebel leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal held yesterday. He says that the Shiromani Akali Dal has been marginalized in Punjab and the people of Punjab are losing faith in the party. Dhindsa said that the meeting held in Chandigarh was to save Sukhbir's leadership. However, Dhindsa said that Sukhbir Badal should be removed as the head and this position should be given to some religious personality so that people's trust can be built. During this, Dhindsa also alleged that efforts have been made to finish the Dhindsa family.
Dhindsa mentioned these names...
Parminder Dhindsa said that the party's leadership can be given to Jathedar Harpreet Singh, Manpreet Ayali, Paramjit Kaur Khalra and any other person. Dhindsa said that we are being accused that this is being done because of BJP, while the reality is that we are not in any contact with BJP. All the senior leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal were present in the meeting held in Jalandhar yesterday.
What did the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib say
A statement of Jathedar Raghubir Singh of Sri Akal Takht Sahib is also coming out on this matter. He says that some political leaders have their faces towards Delhi and their backs towards Sri Darbar Sahib. Raghubir Singh also referred to the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh that how Maharaja Ranjit Singh used to take guidance from Sri Akal Takht Sahib. This is the reason why he has proved to be a successful ruler.
Jakhar said, the party should sit and solve the issue
BJP's Punjab chief Sunil Jakhar said that Shiromani Akali Dal should sit and solve this issue. Responsibilities are not decided by closing eyes. Jakhar said that we have no dealings with this matter. If the Akali Dal still does not sit and think about what fatwa the people of Punjab have given in the elections, then nothing can be done.
