Jalandhar: After quitting Congress, former Jalandhar Cantonment MLA Jagbir Brar has again joined Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) here on Monday.
The SAD president visited the former Punjab Water Resources Management and Development Corporation Chairman’s house in the Model Town locality.
Brar won the seat of Jalandhar Cantt Assembly Constituency in 2007 as SAD MLA. He wass also the former President of DCC Jalandhar. Brar had served as a Block development panchayat officer before joining politics. Brar was appointed as Chairman of Punjab Water Resources Management and Development Corporation in 2019 by the Punjab Government.
He joined the People’s Party of Punjab in 2011 and quit the party in 2012 after losing elections to Pargat Singh, who was then the SAD candidate. He was coerced to move to unsuccessfully contest the Nakodar seat after Pargat Singh got the Congress on ticket Jalandhar Cantt seat.
Brar was expectant of returning to Cantt seat again after Pargat’s recent outbursts against Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, however, things didn’t turn out the way he had hoped and hence he chose to rejoin the Akali Dal to contest from the Cantonment seat, said a close aide of Brar.
Meanwhile, the re-joining of Brar in SAD has also upset former MLA and senior Akali Dal Sarabjeet Singh Makkar, who had contested from the seat in 2017.

Arvind Kejriwal is a ‘Khalistani’ says Balwant Rajoana

Jalandhar: Terming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal as a ‘Khalistani’, Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted for the assassination of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh, said that AAP is a front of ‘Khalistani supporters’ in Punjab to weaken the ‘Panth’.
Rajoana’s sister Kamaldeep Kaur Rajoana reportedly posted his message on her Facebook on Saturday.
In the post, Rajoana said that he has been lodged in different jails for the past 23 years but none of the ‘Khalistani’ supporters has ever visited the jail to meet him or did anything to bolster the Sikh religion in Punjab or across the world.
“I have been facing a death penalty for over a decade now and in this period, I have realized that the ‘Khalistani moment’ is just an eyewash to gain political mileage. And some so-called supporters of this moment have also been misguiding the Sikhs for years,” the post read.
The post further read that under ‘Referendum 2020’, they gave advantage to AAP party and its leaders as they got huge funds from them to do treacherous propaganda to misguide Sikhs in 2017 Vidhan Sabha elections while denting the image of Akali Dal party.
Rajoana was employed as a constable in Punjab Police before he was convicted for his involvement in an explosion outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat in 1995. The explosion had killed CM Beant Singh and 16 others.
