JALANDHAR: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) needs to remain steadfast in its Panthic identity and its core constituency. They are politicizing the issue even if that meant going against the Akal Takht directive or SGPC’s own campaign. We are bound to raise issues pertaining to the Sikh community as party has always remained the political representative of the Panth,” said SAD MLA and district unit (rural) president Gurpartap Singh Wadala. The land where the gurdwara is situated also belongs to his family.“The common refrain in the meeting was that SAD should remain steadfast in its Panthic identity and issues. Referring to the issue of shifting of Birs from the gurdwara at Kalgidhar Avenue, he said the Congress should not interfere in Sikh religious issues.Former Akali MLA Sarabjeet Singh Makkar, who lost the last election to Pargat, mainly focused on the issue of shifting of the gurdwara and said it was very unfortunate.
