Why has Sukhbir Badal been punished by Akal Takht?
The Akal Takht ordered Sukhbir Singh Badal, Punjab's former deputy chief minister to perform as sewadar at Golden Temple over religious misconduct. Badal admitted guilt for pardoning jailed Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, promoting officers involved in Sikh killings at the religious court. His punishment includes duties in the kitchens and cleaning toilets and utensils at the Golden Temple.
