In a jolt to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) (Punar Surjit), Dakha MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali has resigned from all party posts. Ayali was the convener of the coordination committee of SAD Punar Surjit and Akali Dal Waris Punjab De.Party sources said that the alliance between the two political outfits could not be finalised due to ideological differences, following which both sides decided to part way.Ayali tendered his resignation on the day when party supermo Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Manish Sisodia were visiting Ludhiana.However, in a seven-minute video message on social media, Ayali has clarified that he would not join the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).He said that he has tendered his resignation from all posts in the party.“I was part of the committee formed for Panthic unity and recruitment of party workers in accordance with the Hukamnama Sahib issued by Sri Akal Takht Sahib on December 2, 2024. We made every possible effort to strengthen the Sikh Panth, Punjab, and Punjabi identity, and to promote Panthic unity,” he said.He added, “After the recruitment drive, I had told party leaders that our job as committee members is over. However, the leaders said that since the new party had just been formed it would send a wrong message if I tender my resignation at this juncture. I had objected the appointment of leaders in the party, particularly who were meant to be kept away from holding any position in the party as per the Jathedar’s directions, but their inclusion led to dissatisfaction among party workers.”Sources said that Ayali was unhappy with SAD (Punar Surjit) leaders for “cozying up” with the BJP.It is being speculated that he could switch sides and hold a key position in Akali Dal Waris Punjab De.Ayali had recently slammed the Punjab Police of reaching Dibrugarh in Assam to formally arrest Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh in connection with the Ajnala police station attack case of February 2023. He had alleged that despite winning a large mandate with more than 4 lakh votes, Amritpal Singh has been kept away from his constituency for three years and was being targeted in a “fake” case.
