    Pargat Singh Resigns From Shiromani Akali Dal

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 13 Sep, 2016 11:57 AM
      Former hockey captain-turned-politician Pargat Singh today resigned from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), accusing party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal of "betraying" the trust of people of Punjab.
       
      The legislator from Jalandhar cantonment, who was recently suspended from the SAD for his alleged anti-party activities, sent his resignation to Mr Badal.
       
      "I resign from the primary membership of the party. You (Sukhbir) have betrayed the trust of people of Punjab," he wrote in a missive to the SAD chief.
          
      Pargat Singh and cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu had recently launched a new party, Aawaaz-E-Punjab, with an eye on the upcoming Punjab polls.
