The SAD (Amritsar) today announced its first list of 43 candidates for the Assembly elections. The announcement was made by party president Simranjit Singh Mann.

The list includes Iman Singh Mann (Fatehgarh Sahib), Jaskaran Singh Kahan Singh Wala (Kotkapura), Gursewak Singh Jawaharke (Mansa) and Prof Mahinderpal Singh (Patiala Rural).

Talking to mediapersons, Mann lashed out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying he had not yet passed a resolution in the state Assembly over the 1984 riots and had not inducted a single Sikh face into his Cabinet so far. Kejriwal was trying to mislead Sikhs in Punjab, he claimed. He said the main agenda of the party would be to ensure justice in the sacrilege cases, carry out probe into the case of theft of 328 ‘saroops’, hold free and fair SGPC elections and launch a movement against drugs. — TNS
