First-time Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator, Gurmeet Singh Khudian (59), who defeated five-time former Chief Minister late Parkash Singh Badal…
The Sangat has always been and shall always remain supreme for us, and we always trust and submit to the highest grace of the great Guru Sahiban and Shri Guru Granth Sahib,” said Badal as he stressed the need to uphold the values his father upheld.
Scores of political dignitaries and party supporters on Thursday flooded Parkash Singh Badal's native village in Muktsar district where the late Akali patriarch and five-time Punjab Chief Minister's body was kept from morning till around 1 p.m. for people to catch a last glimpse of the late leader.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday led the tributes to the Punjab leader, calling him a "colossal figure of Indian politics, and a remarkable statesman".
The opposition Aam Aadmi Party and Shiromani Akali Dal are mired in infighting which is a good sign for the ruling Congress ahead of the 2019 battle.
While Parkash Singh Badal has been asked to appear before the SIT on November 16, Sukhbir has been summoned on November 19 and Akshay Kumar has been asked to come on November 21 to the Circuit House in Amritsar.
The Shiromani Akali Dal is battling an internal crisis with senior party leaders virtually revolting against the leadership of Sukhbir Badal.
The cabinet minister further asked what kind of a democracy the Badal family is practicing that all posts and power have been confined to the family with others treated like nothing.
The Akali Dal is passing through a tough political phase in recent memory following former chief minister Badal's indictment by the Ranjit Singh Commission, which looked into sacrilege cases and subsequent firing by cops on Sikh protesters in 2015.
