Istri Akali Dal expresses complete faith in the leadership of S Sukhbir S Badal (Sukhbir S Badal says women wing would be expanded to booth and village level by formation of committees) Chandigarh, July 1 – The Istri Akali Dal today expressed complete faith in the leadership of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal and said he was best suited to lead the party at this juncture.The entire rank and file of the Istri Akali Dal said party president Sukhbir Badal had provided inspiring leadership to lead an effective campaign in the form of the Punjab Bachao Yatra. The members said the Istri Akali Dal had reached out to the women and a concerted effort in Bathinda by its president Hargobind Kaur had paid dividends with party candidate Harsimrat Kaur Badal winning the seat with a handsome margin.Speaking on the occasion, the SAD president said the party had chalked out a plan to expand the Istri Akali Dal and ensure it reached every village and booth in the State. “We have decided to ensure the election of booth, village, circle and constituency level Committees headed by their respective presidents. We will also ensure election of district level committees of the Istri Akali Dal”.Mr Sukhbir Badal said the party would also create an effective women leadership in the party so that strong candidates could be fielded for block samiti and zila parishad polls for seats reserved for women candidates. “I am confident the Istri Akali Dal will play an important role in the 2027 assembly election in the State”, he added.Mr Badal also condemned the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for dismissing Bibi Hargobind Kaur from service on flimsy grounds because she was galvanizing women to hold the AAP government accountable for discriminating against the poor and scheduled caste community. “The SAD stands with Bibi ji and will contest her case and ensure justice is done to her”.

They said that SC wing stood in solidarity with Sukhbir Singh Badal and was confident that he only is capable among all to lead this 120 year old party which safeguards rights of poor, downtrodden, farmers and labourers and other sections of the society.On the occasion replying to media queries, senior SAD leader Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that it is most surprising to see that rebel leaders had announced to pay obeisance at Sri Akal Takht Sahib to seek forgiveness for their errors but before reaching Sri Akal Takht Sahib, they reached resident of Khadoor Sahib newly elected MP Amritpal Singh to meet his family. He said that this shows that for these leaders politics is above even from Sri Akal Takht Sahib.He said that on reaching Sri Akal Takht Sahib, these leaders submitted a four point letter and failed to seek forgiveness for even a single error during life time though most of these leaders are in their seventies or sixties.He said that Akali Dal working committee had also urged these leaders to come to the party forum to discuss every issue instead of going to media. He said that we are always ready to discuss everything at party forum but these leaders have nothing to say about issues rather they are projecting themselves as ‘real’ leaders though everyone knows it is Sukhbir Singh Badal in whom the whole party had showed full faith
