AAP fields ex-SMO from Tarn Taran
Tarn Taran, January 3
Dr Kashmir Singh Sohal, who retired as an SMO from the Health Department, Punjab, was elected as a party candidate by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the Tarn Taran seat on Monday.
His name was included in the (five-member) seventh list of the candidates issued under the joint signatures of party state president Bhagwant Mann and state in-charge (Prabhari) Jarnail Singh. The AAP had declared three candidates for the four seats of this border district. The party would soon declare its candidate for the Khadoor Sahib seat.
Dr Sohal has remained active in social activities for many decades under the banner of the Vikas Manch Punjab. He was the founder president of the PCMS Specialist Doctors’ Association, Punjab, which became less active in social activities after his superannuation.
After his retirement, he started taking part in active politics and worked with Manpreet Singh Badal’s Punjab People’s Party (PPP) and also unsuccessfully contested the SGPC elections. — OC
