A delegation of senior party leaders will soon meet and hand over the demand letter to the Union Home Minister
Chandigarh – An important meeting of the senior leaders of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) chaired by party president and former Union Minister, S. Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa was held at the party’s head office party today.
During the meeting, the party unanimously passed a resolution to strongly oppose the Haryana government’s demand to allot separate land for the Haryana Vidhan Sabha in Chandigarh.
It was decided that soon, a delegation of senior party leaders will meet Union Home Minister, Sh. Amit Shah and hand over a demand letter on this issue.
The party said that Chandigarh, which was settled after depopulating the villages of Punjab, has the full right of Punjab and the party has been fighting for the resolution of the rightful issues of Punjab including Chandigarh for a long time.
“Will not allow Haryana to build a separate Vidhan Sabha on the land of Chandigarh at any cost. Haryana’s demand is unreasonable and a betrayal to the people of Punjab. We are ready to make every possible sacrifice to raise our voices against Haryana’s move,” said Parminder Singh Dhindsa. In the meeting, concern was also expressed about the silence of the Aam Aadmi Party government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on this issue.
Apart from this, during the meeting, the issue of immediate release of the Bandi Singhs who have completed their sentences in jails was also discussed. Apart from this, the planning made by Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa for the election of the president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee held on November 9 was also appreciated.
During the meeting, Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa also thanked members of the Shiromani Committee who voted in favour of Bibi Jagir Kaur, who boldly had raised her voice against the ‘lifafa’ envelope culture in the election of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
In the meeting, a resolution was also passed to hold the general elections of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, which has been pending for a long time from the government.
In the meeting Jagdish Singh Garcha, Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Sarwan Singh Phillaur, Sukhwinder Singh Aulakh, Tejinderpal Singh Sandhu, Manjit Singh Dasuha, Malikit Singh Changal, Harvel Singh Madhopur, Harbans Singh Manjhpur, Avtar Singh Johal, Jathedar Arjan Singh Shergill, Harpreet Singh Garcha, Harmanjit Singh (Delhi), Harpreet Singh Bunny Jolly (Delhi), Rampal Singh Bahniwal, Harpreet Singh Guram, Pritpal Singh Haveli, Damanveer Singh Phillaur, Shinderpal Singh Brar, Randhir Singh Rakhra, Satwinderpal Singh Dhatt, Bibi Mahakpreet Kaur, Jagtar Singh Rajeana, Tejinderpal Singh Sidhu, Man Singh Garcha, Rajinder Singh Raja, Dr. Major Singh, Devinder Singh Sodhi, Maninderpal Singh Brar and OSD Jaswinder Singh was present.
