It was clear, he said, that the SAD leaders had decided to backtrack on their earlier stand in view of the public protests and backlash triggered by CAA\/NRC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was not the first time the Akalis had shown such dual standards with regard to their relations with the BJP, said Captain Amarinder, pointing to the SAD\u2019s support to Om Prakash Chautala\u2019s INLD in the Haryana assembly elections even while continuing to be a part of the NDA. In fact, even while siding with INLD in Haryana, the SAD had allied with BJP in Punjab, where by-elections were being held at the same time in a couple of constituencies, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was time the SAD clarified their stand on their alliance with the NDA, said Captain Amarinder, adding that the people wanted to know whether the Akalis favoured BJP\u2019s divisive and hardline ideology on key issues, including those that affect the Indian Constitutional principles and values. The people are no longer willing to be fooled by the SAD\u2019s dual standards and misleading statements, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Such contradictory stands and statements had exposed the fact that the Akalis were only interested in promoting their vested political interests, and had no ideological principles on any issue of national importance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asks them to clarify stand on relations with BJP Chandigarh, Dec 27 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211;
