Ludhiana (Punjab), November 10, 2026: Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) will neither enter into an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) nor support any political understanding between the BJP and the Badal-led party, Giani Harpreet Singh said on Tuesday.
Addressing party workers and the media after an important meeting of Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) in Ludhiana, Giani Harpreet Singh categorically ruled out any alliance with the Badal faction and said his party would oppose a BJP-Badal alliance if one materialised.
Clarifying reports of his party's recent discussions with the BJP, he said the talks were limited to Panthic and Punjab-related issues and had nothing to do with a political alliance.
He also warned that any move by the BJP to reactivate individuals allegedly responsible for the killings of Sikh youths and damage to Panthic interests would face opposition.
On the party's future political plans, Giani Harpreet Singh said the registration of Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) would be completed soon. He claimed that the party would form the government in Punjab in 2029, even if it did not succeed in the 2027 Assembly elections.
Demanding SGPC elections, he announced that the party would organise a massive protest in Delhi on the day of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's general session.
Referring to the authority of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, he said the Panth would not forgive leaders who had allegedly violated its dignity. He accused Sukhbir Singh Badal, Prem Singh Chandumajra and other leaders of using Sri Akal Takht Sahib for political purposes.
Senior leaders and party members, including Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Ravinder Singh, Charanjit Singh and Giani Hardeep Singh, attended the meeting.
