of the 2022 AssemblyeElections. Harmeet’s name featured in the list of 12 halqa in-charge declared by SAD chief Sukhbir Singh three days ago.

Iqbal convened a meeting of his followers on Tuesday to chalk out the next course of action. While attacking his opponent he said he had been working in SAD as a ‘sepoy’ for the past 25 years and never indulged in peddling or fulfilled his personal motives.

Former sarpanches and panchayat members were present on the occasion.
