Condemning an attempt to shoot Shiromani Akali Dal leader, Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh on Wednesday said the incident was not an attack on Badal but rather an attack on a Darbar Sahib 'sevadar', who was performing 'seva'.
He urged the AAP government in Punjab to conduct a thorough investigation into the case.
Hours after a Khalistan sympathiser associated with the radical Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa opened fire at Sukhbir Singh Badal when he was sitting on "punishment" guard duty outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar, who was overpowered by policemen, the AAP commended the Punjab Police for its alertness and quick response in handling the incident.
The Aam Aadmi Party appreciated the decisive action taken by the police, which prevented any untoward incident and ensured public safety.
