Sanatan Seva Samiti Punjab and Ved Prachar Mandal Punjab on Saturday jointly organized an award ceremony at local BCM School to celebrate a year-long Vedic speech competition aimed at connecting students with ancient Vedic education.

Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Chief Spokesperson of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab and MLA from the Ajnala constituency, raised serious questions over the participation of Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami, and other Akali leaders in wedding functions of gangsters’ families. He said that while Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s government is fighting a major battle against gangsterism and the drug mafia, the Akali Dal is building relationships with gangsters.
