Chandigarh 30 January ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has convened an important meeting of its Working Committee tomorrow to discuss the desecration and damage caused to the statue of Baba Saheb Dr BR Ambedkar in Amritsar as well as progress of the party’s membership drive. Disclosing this, senior leader Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said the meeting, which would be held at the party’s headquarter here, would be presided over by SAD’s working president Balwinder Singh Bhundar. Giving further details, Dr Cheema said the desecration of Baba Saheb’s statue at Amritsar was part of a preplanned and premeditated conspiracy to disturb peace and communal harmony in the State. “Instead of moving to unmask this conspiracy the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government is trying to cover up the entire incident and trivialise it. The Working Committee will formulate the party’s strategy to ensure a transparent probe is conducted into the entire matter”. Dr Cheema said the meeting would also review the progress of the membership drive of the SAD. “The meeting will take a review of distribution of booklets for the membership drive as well as feedback from Observers posted for the same”. He said besides this the Working Committee would also focus on ways and means to get all bogus votes registered for the Shiromani Committee election deleted. He said it would also discuss the current political situation in the State including the state of lawlessness and abrogation of all duties by chief minister Bhagwant Mann. EOM
