Sukhbir Badal survives firing. Can he survive political doldrums?
Sukhbir Singh Badal, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader, faced a firing incident while performing penance at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Badal was serving a symbolic punishment declared by the Akal Takht for religious misconduct during his party's rule. The attack comes amidst Badal's efforts to revive his political career following a rebellion within his party and accusations of sacrilege.
