The outfit was formed after the dissolution of SAD (Taksali), formed by Brahmpura, and the SAD (Democratic), launched by Dhindsa.
“We have decided to launch the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) today. The organising structure of the party will be set up soon,” said Dhindsa and Brahmpura in a joint statement after a meeting in Chandigarh. Dhindsa is the president of the new party, while Brahmpura will be its patron. Coming down heavily on SAD president
Sukhbir Singh Badal, the two leaders sought a clarification on accepting donations from those “responsible” for the Sikh “genocide”.

“The SGPC and the DSGMC should release a white paper giving details who donated how much to them during the Covid-19 pandemic and farmers’ protest. It has come to light that the DSGMC received around Rs 2 crore from Amitabh Bachchan who was responsible for instigating attacks on innocent Sikhs after Indira Gandhi’s assassination,” said Dhindsa and Brahmpura. — TNS
