Akal Takht has pronounced 'tankhah' (religious punishment) on former Punjab Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal over "mistakes" made by the SAD-led state government between 2007 and 2017. Badal has been directed to perform as a 'sewadar' and clean utensils and shoes at the Golden Temple. Moreover, the 'Fakhre-e-Qaum' title conferred to Badal's father Parkash Singh Badal has been withdrawn.
