A MAN OPENED FIRE AT BADAL FROM A CLOSE RANGE OUTSIDE GOLDEN TEMPLE

CHANDIGARH: Opposition parties on Wednesday condemned the attack on Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal at the Golden Temple and alleged that law and order has broken down in Punjab, with SAD demanding the resignation of the chief minister.

A man, identified by police as Narain Singh Chaura, opened fire at Badal from a close range while he was performing the duty of 'sewadar' outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Wednesday but missed the target as he was overpowered.

Badal (62) is undergoing religious punishment announced by the Akal Takht. Holding a spear in one hand and dressed in blue 'sewadar' uniform, the SAD leader sat at the entrance of the Golden Temple where the incident took place.
