Chandigarh, August 14: Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal reaffirmed that safeguarding social brotherhood and peace across religious communities stays at the core of the regional party’s mission. Interacting with reporters after receiving medical care for a sustained arm injury, Badal maintained that repeated efforts by hostile elements to disrupt state stability will meet steadfast resistance.
Recalling the legacy of former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, the former Deputy Chief Minister stated that upholding mutual respect among all faiths remains an unalterable principle for the leadership.
I was not afraid then, I am not afraid now. SAD is committed towards ensuring communal harmony. Both times, they launched an attack on me at sacred places, Sukhbir Singh Badal asserted, referencing previous security incidents including an attempt outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Union ministers and top leaders expressed solidarity with the family, with Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal acknowledging formal inquiries regarding her husband’s health from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Those who are enemies of peace and harmony have tried to harm me several times, but I am always protected by the almighty Guru, the Akali Dal chief declared, maintaining that no amount of intimidation can derail efforts to secure lasting peace for the region.
Local police personnel apprehended the sixty-two-year-old suspect at the scene in Nanded. Legal proceedings and investigations are underway as regional leadership vows to maintain focus on secular unity and public welfare across the state.
