EX-MLAS, SGPC MEMBER QUIT SAD TO JOIN DHINDSA

BATHINDA: Former SAD legislators from Mansa Sukhwinder Singh Aulakh and Harwant Singh Datewas, and SGPC member Mithu Singh Kahanke were among those who joined SAD (Democratic) on Monday. Many political faces, once considered close to the Badal family, quit the party to join dissident Akali leader Parminder Dhindsa. Mansa is a part of Bathinda Lok Sabha seat represented by Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal. Dhindsa said these joinings show that Akali workers are dissatisfied with the SAD leadership.
