Akal Takht had said that Sukhbir Singh Badal, as former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Government and President of Shiromani Akali Dal, had taken some decisions which had damaged the image of ‘Panthak Swarup’. For this, Akal Takht has sentenced Sukhbir Badal to clean utensils in the Golden Temple. Apart from this, he will have to carry a spear outside Sri Darbar Sahib. They will also have to wear a plaque around their neck.
