The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday condemned disgruntled Aam Aadmi Party leader Sukhpal Khaira for playing opportunistic politics on 1984, drugs and corruption in a pathetic attempt to remain relevant after being sacked as leader of Opposition.
In a statement, SAD spokesman Maheshinder Singh Grewal said it was shocking that a person who was a product of corruption and had come into riches from rags was talking about principles and the need to fight corruption after being accused of the same by his own party men.
Stating that Khaira had staged a drama to befool the people at his Press conference on Friday, Grewal asked him to clarify why he had remained with the Congress and wined and dined with the likes of Sajjan and Tytler after the army attack on Shri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) and massacre of Sikhs in 1984.

“In fact you remained an active part of the Congress and sucked up to the Gandhi family for the last more than twenty years before joined AAP on the eve of the 2017 Assembly elections.
Why did you never condemn the army attack on Shri Darbar Sahib or the 1984 genocide and only remembered it now as a cover up exercise after being caught endorsing the secessionist Referendum 2020 which seeks to break up India?”, Grewal asked.
Stating that Sukhpal Khaira had only displayed his power hunger chameleon nature at the Press conference, Grewal said the same Khaira who was revolting against AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal’s decisions now had praised the latter on record by exulting about his ‘innovative working’ style.
“It seems this working is not all that innovative when it goes against Khaira and he immediately gets into the break- AAP mode,” he added.
Asking Khaira not to practice hypocrisy by talking about the rights of Punjab after ignoring them as a Congressman for 20 years, Grewal said.
