The big gathering of Shiromani Akali Dal that took place today at Sri Muktsar Sahib, the land of martyrs. It was unprecedented in itself. The kind of Khalsai Jaho Jalal that was seen in this gathering, the way turbans were seen everywhere, it was felt as if Sikhs from all over the world had gathered. The President of the Delhi unit of Shiromani Akali Dal, S. Paramjit Singh Sarna, said in a statement issued to the press that this unprecedented gathering has also proved that the Shiromani Akali Dal resides in the hearts of the people. Considering the number of people who reached this occasion, this was the second largest gathering of the Akali Dal so far in terms of attendance. This gathering has great significance in itself because all eyes were on this gathering. When at that time the Akali Dal was being surrounded from all sides. In such a situation, this gathering has proven that the Shiromani Akali Dal accepted and raised its head with complete humility the decisions taken from Sri Akal Takht Sahib on December 2. It has inspired the hearts of the people to turn towards the Akali Dal.
Today’s gathering has also proven that the party of the Panth and Punjab is only the Shiromani Akali Dal and at the same time this gathering has also stopped the speech of the opponents. Today’s gathering has shown that whoever comes to the Shiromani Akali Dal and talks about the Panth, talks about humanity, talks about Sikhism, the doors are always open for him. But those who are walking with their personal jealousy. Whether they are going to call themselves reformists or some others are going to call themselves Akali. They are sitting outside because of their jealousy, if they come with the spirit of service, they are also welcome. This gathering is a milestone and while the entire Khalsa Panth and the Shiromani Akali Dal deserve congratulations for this, the hard work done by Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal day and night has brought color and the flag of the Shiromani Akali Dal, the representative political party of the Sikhs, has been raised high. The entire party deserves congratulations. The coming time is showing that the Shiromani Akali Dal is emerging again.
