DIVYA AZAD
President, Misl Satluj, Ajaypal Singh Brar emphasized that the SAD, in its current form, has strayed from its founding values and Panthic traditions of selfless service and commitment to Sikh rights and our distinct national identity. He wrote in the letter that there is an urgent need for the Akali Dal to reconnect with the core principles of Sikhism, which have historically guided the party’s mission to protect the dignity of the Sikh Panth.
Misl Satluj has proposed the expulsion of 11 leaders, including Sukhbir Singh Badal, Prem Singh Chandumajra and Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, from the Akali Dal whose political opportunism, personal greed and lack of the true Akali spirit have undermined the party’s integrity. They not only shirked their responsibility during critical incidents such as the 2015 sacrilege, some of them were seen openly supporting the sacrilege perpetrators.
The letter also highlights the necessity of returning to the original constitution of the Akali Dal, which was rooted in Sikh values and social justice, ensuring that the leadership is accountable and transparent.
Brar underscored the importance of reopening the membership to Sikhs worldwide, allowing Akali Dal to once again reflect the collective will of the global Sikh community. He also called for the revival of the struggle for the core objectives passed in the 1974 Working Committee at Sri Anandpur Sahib, focusing on such as Gurmat, social equality, economic justice, and the promotion of physical fitness for the Sikh community.
Misl Satluj emphasized that only through these steps can the Akali Dal regain its relevance and truly serve the needs of the Sikh Panth.
In addition, Misl Satluj submitted ‘Gal Panth Di Gal Punjab Di: Goals and Objectives,’ a draft document to the Akal Takht Sahib for review and finalization to guide the future path and actions of the Panth.
