SAD’s Priorities Questioned: Jathedar Slams Party’s Drift from Sikh Principles

Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh launched a scathing critique of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Monday, August 4, 2025. He accused the party of prioritizing power and material wealth over the core tenets of Sikhism.

The sharp criticism came during a seminar focusing on the weakening of Sikh institutions. Participants highlighted a concerning ideological drift within the SAD, blaming it for alienating younger generations.

The seminar underscored the erosion of public trust in the SAD, attributing this to perceived political opportunism and a disregard for traditional values. This has led to a decline in the party’s influence and effectiveness.

This development carries significant implications for the political landscape of Punjab. The Jathedar’s strong words and the seminar’s findings raise crucial questions about the future of the SAD and its role in representing the Sikh community. The party’s response to these accusations will be keenly watched.
