Dakha MLA Manpreet Singh Iyali has joined Akali Dal–Waris Punjab De, according to statements made by the party's leadership.

Iyali said his political priorities within the organization would include seeking the release of Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, who remains detained in Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam, advocating for the release of Sikh prisoners commonly referred to as "Bandi Singhs," and promoting Punjab's development.

He also ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that the organization would maintain an independent political course.

According to remarks attributed to Iyali, Akali Dal–Waris Punjab De will seek to advance issues including Khalistan and other Punjab-related demands through democratic and constitutional means.

The party's acting president, Bapu Tarsem Singh, who is also the father of MP Amritpal Singh, welcomed Iyali into the organization.
