Phoolka had resigned from the Assembly in October 2018, citing a conflict between his political role and his legal efforts for the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Phoolka revealed that he would be the first to join the SAD once the seven-member committee formed by the Akal Takht opens new membership. “Punjab needs a strong regional party to address its unique challenges. The current leadership of SAD has acknowledged its past mistakes, creating a new opportunity to rebuild trust and expand its membership,” he stated.
