Chandigarh : Former Congress MP Jagmeet Singh Brar on Friday joined the Shiromani Akali Dal in the presence of party’s senior leadership at Muktsar in Punjab.
Akali stalwart and five-time chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, his son and party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal and senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia welcomed Brar and his supporters into the party fold. Addressing the gathering, Parkash Singh Badal said: “It is a historic day for the party today as Punjab’s well known personality, speaker and the most experienced politician Jagmeet Brar joins Akali Dal.” On Thursday, Brar had announced on Twitter that he was joining the SAD. A permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) for 10 years, Brar was expelled from the Congress in 2016. He had later joined the Trinamool Congress and was the president of the party’s state unit until last year when he quit.
