Describing the proposed move of the SAD(B) to allot ticket to the wife of former DGP Mohammad Izhar Alam as disturbing,the Dal Khalsa said theres hardly any difference between Izhar Alam and Begum Farzana Alam as it is evident that the former will rule by proxy. Party spokesperson,Kanwar Pal Singh said,We strongly disapprove of SAD(B) giving ticket to the family member of the killer of Sikhs. Is SAD so bankrupt that it doesnt have a suitable candidate whose hands are not dipped in innocent Sikh blood to represent the party in Malerkotla constituency? In case they dont,the Badals should leave the seat to its alliance partner Sant Samaj led by Baba Harnam Singh Dhumma, he suggested. Dhumma left for Patna Sahib and will return on January 3. SAD sources said that Dhumma had given SAD a free hand to announce the tickets in his absence so that he could not be questioned for the issues raised by him (Dhumma). He had raised the issue of not giving ticket to Alam.
