He said whenever any president of SAD had committed blunders, especially with respect to religion, the Panth had shown them the door. AMRITSAR: Will the new SAD being formally announced by dissident Akali veterans on Saturday fulfil the political and religious expectations of the Panth or it will also meet the fate of various other SADs formed from time to time after initial vehemence and gusto? These SADs could never make their presence felt across the state or even make an impressive show of strength that could pose threat to the Badal-led SAD. The dissident Akali leaders will make a formal announcement of the new SAD on Sunday at the Akal Takht Though being old horses, all three rebel leaders Ranjit Singh Brahampura, Sewa Singh Sekhwan and Rattan Singh Ajnala know the nerve centres of Akali politics, they are confined to Majha. He alleged that Sukhbir had also been doing the same and the present SAD was bereft of Akali and Panthic spirit.Meanwhile, marathon rounds of meetings were held on Saturday before the announcement of the name and formal launch of the new SAD by rebel Akalis on Sunday..
