The Dhindsa father-son duo is defiant against the Shiromani Akali Dal’s decision to suspend them. A day after the SAD core committee suspended and chargesheeted them for anti-party activities, Rajya Sabha MP Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa said the fight was on between the Akali Dal of Sukhbir Badal and the “real” Akali Dal.“Sukhbir and his coterie have taken over the party completely. Our fight is with them and the real Akali Dal,” he claimed.
Dhindsa said many other leaders were feeling suffocated in the party like them, but they were yet to speak out. “There are many who are against the control of the party and Sikh institutions by the Badal family. They will come out at the right time,” he told The Tribune.
Dhindsa and his son Parminder Singh Dhindsa, who is MLA from Lehra, have resigned from key posts recently saying the party was not run in a democratic manner. They said they were against the decisions taken by the party on sacrilege issue, the Citizenship Amendment Act and change of the status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Both have 14 days to respond to a show-cause notice issued to them for anti-party statements.
