The Akali Dal Waris Punjab De faction has called for a non‑violent demonstration in response to a planned bandh across Punjab.
The Akali Dal Waris Punjab De, a splinter faction of the Shiromani Akali Dal, issued a public appeal urging its supporters to stage a peaceful protest against the announced bandh in Punjab. The statement, released on Monday, emphasizes the need for non‑violent expression while respecting law and order.
The party asked participants to gather at designated points, avoid any form of violence or vandalism, and cooperate fully with police and local authorities. It also called on the administration to ensure the safety of citizens and maintain essential services during the bandh.
While details of the bandh’s organizers remain unclear, the bandh is expected to disrupt transport, educational institutions and commercial activities across the state. Akali Dal Waris Punjab De’s appeal reflects its concern over the economic and social impact such a shutdown could cause.
State officials have been urged to take precautionary measures and to facilitate a peaceful environment for any public gatherings. The party reiterated that its call for a calm demonstration is meant to voice dissent without jeopardising public safety.
