Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Sukhbir Singh Badal performed the duty of 'sewadar' outside a gurdwara in Punjab's Fatehgarh Sahib on Saturday, amid tight security.

 

Badal, who was seated in a wheelchair due to a fractured leg, took part in various religious duties, including listening to 'kirtan' and washing dishes in the community kitchen. 

 

The former deputy chief minister, a Z+ protectee, arrived at the gurdwara surrounded by security personnel. He wore a blue 'sewadar' uniform and sat at the gurdwara entrance with a spear in one hand for an hour from 9 am.


Saturday is the fifth day of Badal's penance for "mistakes" made by the SAD and its government in Punjab from 2007 to 2017.


Other SAD leaders, who are also undergoing religious punishment pronounced by the Akal Takht, the highest temporal body of Sikhs, on December 2, were also present in the gurdwara.


Besides the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Akal Takht has asked Badal to perform the duty of 'sewadar' at the Takht Kesgarh Sahib, Takht Damdama Sahib, and Darbar Sahib in Muktsar and Fatehgarh Sahib for two days each.


On the second day of his penance at the Golden Temple on December 4, Badal had a narrow escape as former Khalistani terrorist Narain Singh Chaura fired at him from a close range but missed as he was overpowered by plainclothes policemen and later arrested.
