CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal urged Election Commission of India (ECI) that in light of today’s order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on illegal arrest of SAD IT Wing head Nashattar Singh Gill, it should direct action against guilty police officials, the state government and ruling AAP for blatantly misusing police force during Tarn Taran bye poll.
In a rejoinder to ECI, SAD Senior Vice President and Former Education Minister Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that today High Court has given its interim orders in CR WP No 12396-2025 dated 21.11.25 in which Honourable court has held the arrest of IT Wing President of SAD Nashattar Singh Gill s/o Sukhwinder Singh in FIR No 261 dated 15.11.25 as illegal and ordered his immediate release.
Dr. Cheema said that this order has vindicated our stand that arrest of SAD leaders and workers was illegal and was done purely on political vendetta by police on direction of AAP government.
He urged the ECI to direct taking strict action against all responsible police officers, the state government and Aam Admi Party (AAP) for blatant misuse of power.
