Riyasat Parjamandal

Riyasat Parjamandal

The Riyasat Parjamandal was an Indian political party active during the reign of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala under British rule. The main agenda of this party was to enhance the lot of the common man by demanding basic rights, which were denied by the monarchy and the British colonial government.

As an example, even the use of main roads, which connected villages to the city, was not allowed; on the other hand, the British and the monarchy used these roads for recreational pursuits like shikar (hunting) etc. The natives therefore, were a suppressed lot.

This party was headed by the President Sardar Sewa Singh Thikriwala and Vice President Sardar Ridha Singh Ji Akali Pannu of Ghagga.

Riyasat Parjamandal gained ground as the leading freedom-fighter party of the region, as the agenda was to protest against British oppression.
