Senior Akali leader and former Union Minister Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa condemned the attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal and said that there should be a high-level investigation into this incident. Mr. Dhindsa said that following the orders of Akal Takht Sahib, Sukhbir Singh Badal was guarding one side of the main gate of Sri Darbar Sahib while he was also serving as a guard on the other side of the main gate. He said that the bullet fired on this occasion could have gone anywhere. Mr. Dhindsa said that on the occasion of this incident, the Akali workers standing with him, especially the former chairman Gurdeep Singh Makorar, slapped the attacker and the former Sarpanch Kewal Singh of Sheron village supported the policeman to take away the pistol of the attacker. He said that it is also seen in the video of the incident that the Akali worker subdued the attacker by slapping him from behind, but no one is mentioning the courage of these workers, whereas such Akali warriors should be respected. On this occasion, Mr. Dhindsa demanded that a high-level investigation be conducted into the incident of attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal and the Akali workers who played an important role in controlling the attackers should also be respected.
