Akali Dal Waris Punjab De Prepares for Punjab Polls, Expands Outreach to Dalits
The Akali Dal Waris Punjab De (AD-WPD) is actively preparing for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections, aiming to challenge the Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) longstanding influence in the Sikh community. The party held a 'Panthic get-together' addressing community issues like drug addiction and alleged SGPC irregularities. Simultaneously, AD-WPD is expanding outreach to Dalit communities, emphasizing caste solidarity and invoking Kanshi Ram's legacy to promote inclusivity and oppose caste discrimination within Sikh society. The party seeks registration and advocates for a casteless society aligned with Sikh principles.
