The Shiromani Akali Dal on Monday said the suspended party MP Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and his son Parminder Singh Dhindsa were being used as "pawns" by Punjab Chief Minister and Congress leader Amarinder Singh in a bid to weaken the 'panthic' party.
The Dhindsas, who have publicly criticised SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, were suspended on Saturday for "anti-party activities". On Sunday, three Punjab ministers slammed the Akali Dal leadership alleging the opposition party "had been reduced to the personal fiefdom of the Badals".
SAD leaders Balwinder Singh Bhundur and Prem Singh Chandumajra claimed the Congress leaders who supported the Dhindsas after the sacking were "working as per a fixed game plan."
