Wadala to be convener as SAD rebels firm up plans to revive party

Hindustan Times  

Shiromani Akali Dal rebel group has decided to constitute a seven-member panel led by former legislator Gurpartap Singh Wadala to lead its affairs. After the announcement, the rebels are also expected to announce its programmes, including outreach to Sikh masses and holding rallies to mark the birth and death anniversaries of prominent Akali leaders to placate the party’s core panthic constituency. Apart from trying to reconnect with Sikh masses, the rebels also plan to hold rallies to mark the death anniversary of the party’s former president Harchand Singh Longowal on August 20 and celebrate the birth centenary of former SGPC president Gurcharan Singh Tohra in September. Rebel leaders including former MP Prem Singh Chandumajra, former president of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Bibi Jagir Kaur, former ministers Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Sikandar Singh Maluka, Surjeet Singh Rakhra, and party’s senior-most leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa met last month and announced several steps to pull the party out the ebb.
