SAD chief clarified position on rebel leaders’ charge that he had ‘failed to satisfactorily represent’ Sikh community. If found guilty by Takht, Badal could be given religious punishment.
Akali Dal president will abide by each and every decision and order issued by Takht & will present himself before it within 15 days, says party spokesperson Arshdeep Singh Kler.
