SAD's Harsimrat shows weapon used in Nanded attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal, stitches on his arm
In letter to Amit Shah, Harsimrat seeks NIA probe, says second attack in 2 years “part of political conspiracy hatched since 2015 to disrupt peace in Punjab”.
SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal displayed the weapon allegedly used in the attack on her husband, Sukhbir Singh Badal, at a gurdwara in Nanded, Maharashtra. She wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah requesting a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the attack. Using a photo of the weapon, she stated that the attacker aimed at Sukhbir Singh Badal's chest with a 1.5-foot-long sharp weapon, but he managed to defend himself by raising his hand, causing the blade to pierce his forearm.
She also presented a photo of Sukhbir Singh Badal's stitched-up arm. Harsimrat Kaur Badal declared this as the second assassination attempt, alleging that another man who attacked her husband previously in Punjab is already out on bail. The police in her home state, ruled by the AAP, allegedly covered up the case, according to her.
She called for a strict response against those involved, whether they are police officers or politicians.
