SAD leader's spouse urges Amit Shah to order NIA probe of August 13 attack
SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asking for a National Investigation Agency inquiry into the August 13 assault on her husband, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal, a Member of Parliament from the Shiromani Akali Dal, sent a formal request to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for a National Investigation Agency probe into the August 13 assault on her husband, party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal. The letter points to several troubling parallels between this attack and an earlier incident, raising questions about a potential connection. Badal also expressed concern over how the Punjab government and Punjab Police managed the first assault, arguing that the recent episode has intensified public and political scrutiny.
She cited guidance from the Akal Takht in prompting the appeal for a federal investigation. The request underscores growing tension between the SAD and state authorities in Punjab regarding security and accountability.
Why it matters
The appeal for a federal probe could heighten political pressure on Punjab authorities and affect security policy in the region.
