Shiromani Akali Dal opposition in Punjab

Overview

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has escalated its political opposition to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led government in Punjab, focusing on allegations of corruption, administrative failures, and threats to regional stability.

Initially, SAD leaders, led by President Sukhbir Badal, petitioned the Punjab Governor to demand a CBI investigation into the alleged leak of ten examination papers affecting approximately one million students. They also called for a judicial inquiry into police actions against workers in Barnala and urged the central government to reopen the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, describing it as a “corridor of peace and brotherhood.”

Subsequently, the party intensified its campaign through the “Punjab Bachao” initiative. SAD leaders accused the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) of being a “den of corruption” and alleged that external influences are manipulating state contracts. Sukhbir Badal further warned that elements responsible for unrest in the 1980s are becoming active again, claiming these forces aim to destroy the state’s peace and eliminate the SAD as a political entity.
