Amritsar, December 4
Sri Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh has strongly condemned the incident of firing at Sukhbir Singh Badal while serving. He said that this attack is not on Sukhbir Singh Badal, but on a servant who was serving as a watchman on the side of the bell tower outside the Shri Darbar Sahib by Shri Akal Takht.
He said that the assailant was caught by the attendants on the spot and the bullet fired by him went to the Charan Ganga area, the police should investigate who is behind it.
In the meantime, Sukhbir Singh Badal has continued his service and after serving the watchman, he performed Kirtan of Gurbani inside Sri Harmandir Sahib and later he is serving the sangat’s pots in the langar ghar. On this occasion, his wife Harsimrat Kaur Badal is also present with him.
SGPC president Dhami condemned the attack
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami has strongly condemned the attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal outside Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib. He said that targeting Sukhbir Singh Badal while performing the religious service of Sri Akal Takht Sahib at this holy place is extremely painful and unethical.
The Shiromani Committee president said that attacking Badal during service is an expression of anti-cult mentality and an inhuman act, while it is a direct insult to the orders of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
Advocate Dhami said that this attack on Mr. Badal raises big questions about the lax performance of the Punjab government and the police and the law and order situation in Punjab.
