Former ED Officer Niranjan Singh Leaves Akali Dal Waris Punjab De Citing DifferencesPreviousNext

Former Enforcement Directorate deputy director Niranjan Singh announced his decision to disassociate from Akali Dal Waris Punjab De (AD-WPD) just days after joining the party. Singh had initially supported AD-WPD due to shared concerns about Punjab's drug menace, corruption, and law enforcement issues. However, he cited irreconcilable differences over adherence to the Constitution of India as the reason for his departure, emphasizing the importance of constitutional conduct in public life.
