Sir,
The efforts of the AISSF and its associates especially the Akali Dal (Mann) group and others whose participation in securing 11 out of 13 Punjab seats are praiseworthy. The credit undoubtedly goes to the AISSF. Moreover, during the elections and victory celebrations no untoward incident occurred in Punjab and the atmosphere remained peaceful and calm. The evident support of ex-Servicemen to the candidates played an important part in defeating the Congress (I) stalwarts.
The Indian National Party founded by ex-Servicemen favors the terms of support laid down by the AISSF in the formation of the new Government at the Centre.
