Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu has suggested the Shiromani Akali Dal should honour the man who shot at Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal since he himself had accepted he committed sacrilege, due to which the former Punjab deputy chief minister had to serve penance.
Mr Bittu in a swipe at the Akali Dal also suggested the party's general secretary Bikram Singh Majithia should embrace Narain Singh Chaura, the man who shot at Mr Badal, "in the same way Majithia had embraced Beant Singh's killers."
