Chandigarh, July 31, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said party patron Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa did not have any authority to stay the proceedings of the disciplinary committee which had expelled eight senior leaders for indulging in anti-party activities.
In a statement here, senior leader Balwinder Singh Bhundur said “Mr Dhindsa is a senior leader and should know that the party patron cannot overrule any party decisions”.
Asserting that it was unfortunate that instead of advising the party rank and file not to indulge in anti-party activities, Mr Dhindsa had chosen to lead the team of expelled leaders and was acting like a self styled dictator by trying to override decisions taken as per the party’s constitution.
Mr Balwinder Bhundur also detailed that action had been taken against eight party leaders after they did not pay heed to the resolution passed by the party’s working committee on June 26 appealing to everyone to discuss their misgivings in the party forum.
He said the expelled leaders had made their intention to work against the party further clear by forming a parallel organization without the approval of the party president and with the sole aim of misleading the party cadre. EOM
