Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday declared that its August 19 Pipli rally would be a turning point in Haryana politics and would pave the way for the SAD to go all alone successfully in the State.
“SAD is all set to hold a historic rally at Pipli which would be addressed by party president Sukhbir Badal. The rally has assumed significance because it would be the first rally to be held independently by the SAD in Haryana,” said senior SAD leader and its Haryana unit in-charge Balwinder Singh Bhundur.
Bhundur said that the rally would witness a huge participation from Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal and Karnal districts even as the SAD district officer bearers from across the State would also attend it. Party secretary Charanjit Singh Brar said that all requisite arrangements had been made to make the party event a huge success.
Haryana SAD president Sharanjit Singh Sohta said that there was tremendous enthusiasm amongst the Punjabi community which had started feeling disillusioned with the political set up in the State after the passing away of Choudhary Devi lal.
“The Sikh community also felt that it was not given due respect by various political parties in Haryana and it was looking up to the SAD to lead the community. We will together script a new history in Haryana politics by becoming a viable force in the 2019 parliamentary elections,” he said.
