Ex-Army chief JJ Singh joins SAD (Taksali)

AMRITSAR: Former Indian Army chief and former Governor Gen JJ Singh joined the SAD (Taksali), a party of expelled leaders of the Akali Dal, here on Wednesday. He resigned from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) last month citing personal reasons. Singh, a former Arunachal Pradesh Governor, had joined the Akali Dal ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections in 2017. He unsuccessfully contested against Congress leader and now Chief Minister Amarinder Singh from Patiala.
