SAD leader and former MLA Ravinder Singh Brahmpura has condemned the candidature of Ramandeep Kaur as the in-charge for the Khadoor Sahib halka (constituency).

At a meeting of the SAD workers, the former MLA expressed these views at the residence of former sarpanch Nishanbir Singh at Daleke village today.

He stated that the people of Punjab will never forgive the past and present ruling regimes “for providing political shelter to tainted elements responsible for ruining the state’s youth”.

In a sharp attack on political rivals and opportunistic forces within the system, Brahmpura remarked, “Some factions believe that political compromises can wash away the sins of tainted individuals, but no one can escape the people’s court and the justice of nature. As true Akali soldiers, our loyalty lies with the truth and the principles laid down by our martyrs. We envision the party’s rise through clean, dedicated workers, not with the backing of tainted faces.”

Addressing the sensitive issue of sacrilege, Brahmpura offered a balanced and Panthic perspective on the current state government’s performance. “The entire Panth has endured the deep pain of the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. The current government’s initiative to bring a new law against sacrilege reflects Panthic sentiments. However, instead of limiting this law to paper, it must be made more stringent, robust and effective at the ground level so that no culprit can escape through legal loopholes,” he asserted.

The local leadership fully endorsed Brahmpura’s stance, vowing to stand by the party like a rock.

The meeting was attended by Pargat Singh, Manjinder Singh, Master Mangal Singh, Jagroop Singh and Dr Manjinder Singh, among a large number of party workers.
