Sukhbir Badal performs 'sewadar' duty at Golden Temple

Amritsar: A day after the Sikh clergy pronounced the 'tankhah' (religious punishment) for Sukhbir Singh Badal, the Shiromani Akali Dal leader on Tuesday performed the duty of a 'sewadar' outside the Golden Temple here.

Holding a spear in one hand, Badal, in blue 'sewadar' clothes, was at the entrance of the



Golden Temple in his wheelchair, serving his punishment. He has a fractured leg.

Akali leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, who was also in a wheelchair because of his age, underwent the same punishment, while former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia washed utensils.
