Mr Badal, former deputy chief minister of the western Punjab state and head of the Shiromani Akali Dal party, was doing volunteer service at the Golden Temple in Amritsar as part of religious punishment imposed by the Sikh clergy when Mr Chaura attempted to shoot him. They have been punished by the Akal Takht, the highest temporal body of the Sikh community, for allegedly favouring convicted self- styled ‘godman’ Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in the 2007 sacrilege of the holy Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib. Mr Badal was declared tankhaiya or guilty of religious misconduct by the clergy on 30 August for making decisions that allegedly hurt the Sikh community when his party ruled Punjab between 2007 and 2017. The clergy also revoked the Fakhr-e-Qaum, meaning Pride of the Sikh Community, title conferred on Mr Badal's father, Parkash Singh Badal, the former chief minister of Punjab.
