The Shiromani Akali Dal has backed the immediate implementation of the Women’s Reservation Bill and demanded a fair and equitable delimitation exercise. SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal confirmed the party’s stand after a meeting of senior leaders in Chandigarh. The party said its position draws inspiration from Sikh gurus who championed the dignity, equality and equal rights of women. The SAD also said it supports the proposal put forward by the Government of India, while demanding equal representation for all states. The development comes a day after Sukhbir Singh Badal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, triggering speculation about a possible revival of the BJP-SAD alliance ahead of next year’s Punjab Assembly elections. #timesnow #englishnews #sad #bjp #modi #sukhbir #delimitation #womensquota #punjab #politics
