Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, 15, 2025: In the second part of an exclusive interview, senior leader Sikandar Singh Maluka opened up about his political beliefs, internal family dynamics, and personal interests, making candid remarks on the current leadership of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and his admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Sukhbir’s direction is clear, but I’m a fan of Modi’s leadership,”
Maluka said, praising the Prime Minister’s governance style and national stature. He acknowledged that while he may differ from SAD’s current course, he continues to hold deep respect for Modi’s developmental vision.
On family influence over Badal leadership:
Maluka remarked, “Pressure from within the family has distorted the true image of Parkash Singh Badal’s legacy.” Without naming individuals, he hinted that decisions made under internal pressures have weakened the party’s original ideology and public trust.
On personal interests:
“I’m passionate about reading history, not about listening to songs or music,” he shared, revealing a scholarly side to his personality beyond politics. “Understanding history helps us avoid repeating mistakes — in politics and life.”
This rare insight into Maluka’s thoughts comes at a time when SAD faces mounting challenges both from within and outside the party. The full interview delves deeper into Maluka’s vision for Punjab politics, his views on Akali Dal’s future, and the changing political landscape.
