Ludhiana, May 28, 2025: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today demanded the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government withdraw the notification to acquire 24,000 acres of land adjoining the city immediately or be ready to face a ‘morcha’ aimed at securing the rights of the aggrieved farmers.
The SAD president also asserted once his party formed the government in 2027 it would ensure that all government jobs were reserved for Punjabis only. “Right now 50 per cent of all government jobs are being given to outsiders by the AAP government”. He also announced that the next SAD government would not allow outsiders to buy land in the State. “Punjab will be for Punjabis only”, he asserted.
Addressing a massive dharna “Jang Punjab Bachaun Di” in front of the GLADA office here which was attended by SAD workers and farmers alike, the SAD President made it clear that the party would not allow the AAP government to acquire even one inch of land. Sukhbir Badal said adding “we will not allow the AAP conspiracy to rob our farmers of their lands simply to fill the partys coffers to succeed”. Sukhbir Badal also made it clear that the SAD would take its agitation to other cities also where farmers were being unfairly ousted from their fertile lands”.
