Chandigarh, July 7, 2025 – Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal has made key organisational appointments aimed at strengthening the party's leadership at various levels.
Senior Akali leader and prominent lawyer Harish Rai Dhanda from Ludhiana has been inducted into the Core Committee of the party. Known for his long-standing legal and political contributions, Dhanda's inclusion is seen as a strategic move to bolster policy and legal affairs within the party’s top decision-making body.
In another significant development, Jodh Singh Samra, a young Akali leader from Ajnala and a sitting member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), has been appointed to the Working Committee of the party. His elevation is being viewed as part of the party’s efforts to empower emerging leadership within the Panthic framework.
The appointments reflect SAD's renewed focus on both experience and youth leadership as it reorganises its structure ahead of future electoral challenges.
