Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, who survived a murderous assault last week, today said he would not back any political party in the of assembly elections in Punjab due early next year.
His remarks came after Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal met him at his headquarter Gurdwara Parmeshwar Dawar in Patiala today and held a closed-door meeting with him for about half an hour.
"I have nothing to do with politics. Neither in the past nor in future would our outfit support any political party," Dhadrianwale told reporters after the meeting.
Just like other political leaders, Kejriwal had come to express his solidarity and condolences for the demise of a follower-cum-fellow preacher in the May 17 attack near Ludhiana, he said.
Meanwhile, Patiala MP Dharamvir Gandhi, who had been suspended from AAP long back, took a dig at Kejriwal over the visit.
"AAP has also started doing traditional politics and visiting Dera for political support now," he said.
He warned Congress, Akalis and AAP against mixing politics with religion.
