Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday blamed party scion Rahul Gandhi for bringing a bad name to the holy Golden temple. Post Gandhi’s visit to the Golden Temple on Thursday, January 27, Harsimrat Kaur Badal questioned on Saturday how Rahul Gandhi’s pocket got picked at the holy Sikh pilgrimage site.
Cornering the Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi-led state government, the wife of the Akali Dal President, Sukhbir Singh Badal, alleged that the pocket theft allegations were an attempt by the Congress to defame the sacred site.Harsimrat Kaur continued her attack by saying that only senior Punjab Congress leaders, including CM Channi, PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and Deputy CM Sukhjinder Randhawa were allowed near him by his Z security. She called it yet another incident to malign the revered Sikh Temple post the sacrilege incident.
