Blog Post: Akali Dal’s Internal Strife: Blaming BJP and RSS Amidst Party Turmoil

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is embroiled in a heated internal conflict following its poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections in Punjab. The party, led by Sukhbir Singh Badal, is facing criticism from within, with factions accusing each other of conspiring with the BJP and RSS to undermine the party.

Divided Loyalties and Allegations

The SAD, traditionally a dominant force in Punjab politics, is now witnessing a fracture within its ranks. The party's internal rebellion has led to a complex situation where accusations of ties with the BJP and RSS are being hurled between factions.

The SAD’s leadership has pointed fingers at the rebel group, known as "Sudhar Lehar," alleging that their actions are part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated in Nagpur, the headquarters of the RSS. Balwinder Singh Bhunder, chairman of the SAD’s disciplinary committee, accused the rebels of conspiring with the BJP and RSS, aiming to weaken the party from within.

On June 30, the SAD expelled eight rebel leaders, including notable figures like Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and Bibi Jagir Kaur, who had been critical of Sukhbir Singh Badal’s leadership. These leaders had called for a change in the party’s top brass, citing dissatisfaction with the current leadership.

Rebels’ Counterarguments

In response, the Sudhar Lehar faction dismissed these accusations, arguing that the SAD’s leadership is using the BJP and RSS as scapegoats to avoid addressing their internal issues. Charanjit Singh Brar, one of the expelled leaders, contended that both factions have had interactions with the BJP over the years and questioned why the current allegations are being used to distract from the party’s internal problems.

The Sudhar Lehar faction noted that discussions about alliances with the BJP had been ongoing but were disrupted by the farmers’ protests, which began in February.

BJP’s Response

The state BJP has criticized the SAD for its inability to address its internal issues. BJP vice-president Subhash Verma accused the Sukhbir-led SAD of trying to divert attention from its failures by blaming others. According to Verma, the SAD’s attempts to deflect responsibility for its shortcomings are both absurd and ineffective.

Looking Ahead

As the SAD grapples with its internal strife, the blame game involving the BJP and RSS is unlikely to resolve the underlying issues within the party. With both factions continuing to clash, the future of the SAD remains uncertain as it struggles to regain its footing in Punjab politics.

Religious Studies Term of The Day: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC)

Today I wanted to talk about not just some concept in a religion, but an entire body within a religion. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is seen as the Parliament of sorts in the Sikh world. It is specifically the body that oversees the shrines and gurdwaras in Punjab, which would include the Golden Temple, the principal place of worship for Sikhs. This is sort of like how the Pope is just the Bishop of Rome, but Rome holds the Vatican and the Vatican is the principal seat of the entire Catholic Church. Anyway, I learned about them in two contexts, specifically around women.

One, they opened a committee in 2003 to address the issue raised by two British Sikh women who were being excluded from the sacred act of service that is to put the Guru Granth Sahib to rest for the night. They appealed to the SGPC because they were the highest authority in Sikhi, and they were taken seriously, but not seriously enough to actually come to a conclusion and the topic is still left unresolved almost 20 years later. Critics have seen this as a sort of exposing of the hypocrisy of Sikh authority in that they proclaim to uphold the texts and teachings of the Gurus and yet still uphold the ancient Indian misogyny that the Gurus sought to fight.

Two, they’ve actually been led by a woman once. Her name was Bibi Jagir Kaur, and she held the post of President from March 1999 till November 2000. Yes, the SGPC was okay with being led by a woman, but three years after she’s gone they suddenly had no idea about what women’s roles in the faith should be. To be fair, she was controversial not because she was a woman, but that she may have upheld patriarchal standards to such an extreme that she would use her power to assassinate her own daughter because she had lost her honor after eloping. Now, in 2018 she was acquitted for those charges, but still. Just such an interesting rabbit hole to travel down for today.

Anyway, I hope you all are safe and have a great day.
