Chandigarh, December 30

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday expelled former MLA Mohinder Kaur Josh for rebelling against the party. Josh, a former Chief Parliamentary Secretary, organised a parallel rally at Bullowal in Hoshiarpur against party president Sukhbir Singh Badal’s rally in support of an SAD-BSP candidate in Sham Chaurasi today. “Today Sukhbir Badal is talking about expelling me from the party, which has no meaning as I had said goodbye to the party when I was denied the ticket,” she said.

This is the first open rebellion against the party in the run-up to the 2022 Assembly elections. A spokesperson for the SAD said Josh was causing indiscipline over denial of ticket to her. — TNS
