With Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh still detained under the NSA and unable to engage directly in active politics, the Panthic space in Punjab continues to remain fragmented among multiple Akali factions and emerging groups. Earlier, his father had spoken about the idea of forming a broader Panthic platform and indicated openness to bringing together old and new Akali groups under one umbrella. In a political landscape where the Akali vote is divided and unity remains a key missing factor, the central question now is about his potential role from behind the scenes. With Amritpal Singh in detention, can he still become a catalyst for Akali Dal unity and a larger Panthic consolidation in Punjab ?
खडूर साहिब से सांसद अमृतपाल सिंह इस समय एनएसए के तहत हिरासत में हैं और सक्रिय राजनीति में सीधे भाग नहीं ले पा रहे हैं। इस बीच पंजाब में पंथक राजनीति कई अकाली गुटों और नए समूहों में बंटी हुई है। पहले उनके पिता व्यापक पंथक मंच बनाने और पुराने-नए अकाली दलों को एक छत के नीचे लाने की बात कर चुके हैं। ऐसे में, जब अकाली वोट बिखरा हुआ है और एकजुटता सबसे बड़ी कमी बनी हुई है, बड़ा सवाल उनकी परोक्ष भूमिका को लेकर उठता है। क्या हिरासत में रहते हुए भी अमृतपाल सिंह अकाली दल की एकता और व्यापक पंथक एकजुटता के लिए एक निर्णायक भूमिका निभा सकते हैं ?
A two-time MLA from Samana and former Akali minister, Surjit Singh Rakhra has been a key face of the rebel Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjeet) camp as it positions itself against the Badal leadership. But with the Akali space already fragmented and strong buzz of a possible SAD (Badal)–BJP alliance ahead of 2027, the ground may become even tougher for smaller rebel formations. If the Akali Dal Badal regains strength through a BJP tie-up, can Rakhra and the rebel Akalis emerge as a credible alternative, or risk being squeezed out as bigger political machinery dominates the 2027 battle ?
