Akal Takh punishment: Tough times ahead for Badal, say Sikh scholars

This verdict could have widespread ramifications for SAD, which has been going through an existential crisis following a series of debacles in the assembly and parliamentary elections since 2017.

This pronouncement of the punishment for Sukhbir Singh Badal came nearly three months after Akal Takht declared him a "tankhaiya" (guilty of religious misconduct) on August 3.

Experts feel it will be difficult for Badal to re-emerge from this setback; however, they believe the party may bounce back.
