Sukhbir Badal leads late night dharna at Harike Pattan
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal stages indefinite dharna by way of road blockade at Harike Pattan, serving an ultimatum to the government to withdraw all false cases against SAD leaders and workers.
Sukhbir Badal made personal presence at the dharna, which was continuing at Harike Pattan, Ferozepur district till 9.30 pm when this report was being filed.
A party spokesman here said the SAD president, who was camping at Harike Patan after addressing a dharna at Manawala in Ferozepur on the issue extended the ongoing dharna at Harike Pattan indefinitely.
The presence of SAD president at the dharna venue is being perceived as the right move to boost morale of his party workers facing alleged Congress onslaught.
In case the government failed to accept their demands immediately, the SAD would be forced to extend its agitation beyond Harike Pattan.
He also demanded registration of cases against Congress leaders who had allegedly attacked Akali workers on Wednesday and indulged in arson. He alleged the local police including DSP, Zira and concerned SHO facilitated murderous attack on SAD leaders.
