It was a severe shock to Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) political party when large number of party leaders, workers and district presidents in Haryana state gathered at Dera Kar Sewa Gurudwara, Karnal and took decision to launch a new party Haryana State Shiromani Akali Dal after submitting resignations to SAD (B) blaming that the party functioning as a single Badal family organization.
Addressing a press conference, Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) member Bhupinder Singh said that under the influence of single Badal family the reputation of SAD (B) has been adversely affected and becoming bad to worst which is a matter of utter concern. He said, a handful of party leaders from or near and dear to Badal family are only ruling in this party on way to collapse as such decision has been taken to say good bye to SAD (B) and launch a separate party in Haryana state and save reputation of honorable ‘Panth’. Bhupinder Singh said that all members have left SAD (B) not SGPC since party has started taking decisions not on behalf of a party but functioning as a puppet in the hands of a family as if it was their personal property.
Gurmeet Tiblewala SGPC member while talking to media persons said, Sikhs in Haryana state have now become aware of their rights and want to get themselves free from Badal family. Imposing blame on SAD (B), SGPC member said that huge amount of funds are being granted for medical college and hospital in Haryana state every year but there is no development in these welfare projects facing crisis. He made an appeal to Sikhs communities in Haryana state to join hands, strengthen Shiromani Akali Dal in the state.
