Clergy accepts Sukhbir's penance, grants pardon

Sukhbir, amid a row over the party's working committee not accepting his resignation as SAD chief, appeared before the highest Sikh temporal seat that had declared him 'tankhaiya' on August 30 for the mistakes committed by the SAD and its government from 2007 to 2017 on complaint of the rebel Akali leaders. During his 10-day atonement, Sukhbir performed the duty of 'sewadar' at the entrance of the Golden Temple and other historic gurdwaras, besides performing voluntary services including washing utensils in the community kitchens.

Security was high at the Golden Temple complex, especially in light of the attack on Sukhbir by an ex-militant Narain Singh Chaura on December 4.

Sukhbir and other party leaders offered ardaas, karah parshad worth ₹11,000 and cash of ₹11,000, besides a letter seeking acceptance of their atonement and forgiveness in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib and Panj Pyare (five beloved ones of Guru). Takht issued them (Akali leaders) a letter certifying that they had got ardas done of forgiveness, a SAD leader said.
