Taking to the microblogging site X, Shiromani Akali Dal posted, "Shiromani Akali Dal Working Committee reposes complete faith in the leadership of party president S Sukhbir Singh Badal and urges detractors not to play into the hands of Panth's enemies. The committee asks the president to lead the efforts to expose conspiracies against the party, Panth and Punjab." This comes after a section of senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders on Tuesday revolted against party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, and passed a resolution demanding that he step down as party chief following the Akali Dal's debacle in the Lok Sabha elections.
