On Saturday, Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal resigned from the post of President amid the tussle over leadership in Shiromani Akali Dal.
Sukhbir Badal is currently at home due to a fracture in his leg. After being declared a Tankhaiya by Akal Takht Sahib, he has written a letter to the Akal Takht Secretariat and appealed for religious punishment. Before appearing at the Akal Takht, Balwinder Singh Bhundar was made the acting president of the Akali Dal.
It is believed that Sukhbir Badal may be given religious punishment very soon. Meanwhile, the election process of the organization is going to start in the Akali Dal due to which Sukhbir Badal submitted his resignation to the party’s executive committee on Saturday.
He expressed his gratitude to the party leaders and workers for their support and cooperation during his leadership. He said that he gave this resignation so that the way for the election for the post of party chief could be cleared.
Information about his resignation has been given by party spokesperson Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema. He said that this decision has been taken to ensure change of leadership within SAD (Shiromani Akali Dal) and new direction of the party.
