Key Questions Answered

The Shiromani Akali Dal manifesto committee announced that it will treat its poll manifesto as a legal document and will only include suggestions that can be practically implemented after reviewing financial obligations.

The nine-member manifesto committee is led by Balwinder Singh Bhundar as chairman, while senior leader Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema serves as the member secretary.
