Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) released its manifesto for the Punjab Lok Sabha polls, focusing on key issues. SAD aims to facilitate the transfer of Kartarpur Sahib from Pakistan to India through mutual land exchange and advocate for the inclusion of Chandigarh and Punjabi-speaking areas into Punjab. They plan to simplify pilgrimage to Kartarpur Sahib by replacing passport requirements with a permit system. The manifesto also promises to address water disputes by cancelling decisions made without Punjab's consent and seeking royalties for its river water provided to non-riparian states. SAD leader Sukhbir Singh Badal reiterated the party's determination to pursue these objectives.
