Sarna dares Giani Harpreet Singh to contest Tarn Taran bypoll
Chandigarh: Delhi Akali Dal chief Paramjit Singh Sarna on Saturday challenged Giani Harpreet Singh to contest the upcoming Tarn Taran byelection if he "truly wishes to step into politics".
Sarna said Tarn Taran was regarded as a panthic constituency and would serve as the right test of Giani Harpreet Singh's standing.
He questioned why the so-called president of the so-called political wing of a so-called party would announce in advance that he would not fight any election. "If the so-called party itself is political, how can its so-called President not be a political leader?" Sarna asked.
He pointed out that while Bibi Satwant Kaur was appointed the chairperson of the religious wing of the rebel SAD party faction, Giani Harpreet Singh heads the political faction.
"It makes sense for Bibi Satwant Kaur to declare she won't contest elections, but for the so-called president of a so-called political wing to say the same reflects a bigger political game," Sarna alleged.
According to him, even Giani Harpreet Singh's refusal to contest elections showed a political calculation, as he was aware his name could be proposed for the bypoll. "By declaring himself out of the race, he is avoiding a real test and playing the role of a student leader rather than a political head," said Sarna.
On the party's claims of inducting 1.5 lakh workers, Sarna said the byelection would reveal the truth about how much support the SAD has actually gathered. "Once the results are out, everything will be clear," he remarked.
