The party plans to provide assistance to the families of martyrs, farmers, labourers, and working-class individuals and has promised support to Sikhs and others worldwide.While making the announcement, Tarsem Singh, father of Amritpal Singh, said that Amritpal Singh will serve as the president and that they have also launched the membership drive for the party from today.“Let us come together to save Punjab and protect the Panth (community). We are forming this party for the creation of sarbat de bhala da raaj. We want to do something for the people thus creating a platform to fight for the issues of our society. Anyone can join by the party and become a member by filling out the form,’’ he said.He shared that the party had sent three names to the Election Commission, out of which this name has been approved.”The state needs an Akali Dal to represent the Sikhs. The previous Akali Dal lost the trust of the people as their leaders had confessed their crimes before the Akal Takht, so they cannot face the people now, so this Akali Dal has been formed and is the new hope for the Sikh community. People should support the new party and make it successful,’’ said Khalsa MP of Faridkot.A 15-point resolution, called the Muktsar Sahib Declaration, was passed at the Maghi conference.A declaration read out at the political conference stated, “ This party is established to address the pressing need for a new political force in Punjab a necessity that has been strongly felt. At present Punjab is grappling with severe crises. The public of the state especially the youth are facing challenges like drug addiction, unemployment, inadequate education, corruption, moral decline, both water and air pollution, lack of health care and other crises.”“Once Punjab thrived on the legacy of the gurus is now plagued by divisions of caste, communal discord and discrimination besides declining social and cultural values. In these challenging times, Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) aims to create a transformative vision for Punjab,” the statement further said.The new party will first prepare to contest the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) elections before deciding on entering the assembly race.
