I am also grateful to you for taking immediate cognisance of the incident and directing central investigating agencies to coordinate with Maharashtra Police in the probe,&#8221; the Bathinda MP added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>On Thursday, Sukhbir Singh Badal was injured after being attacked by a kirpan-wielding assailant while leaving the Mata Sahib Devaji Gurdwara at Mudkhed in Maharashtra\u2019s Nanded district. The assailant was arrested at the spot.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered an inquiry into the attack and spoke to Sukhbir Singh Badal over the phone. The SAD president is learnt to have told Fadnavis that he was stable, ANI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Earlier, Badal was also targeted in an attempted shooting at the Golden Temple in Amritsar in December 2024 while he was performing \u201cseva\u201d. The attacker allegedly tried to fire at him but was overpowered before he could cause any harm.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The 2024 attack took place while Badal was carrying out \u201cseva\u201d after the Akal Takht, the highest temporal authority in Sikhism, declared him a \u201ctankhaiya,\u201d or guilty of religious misconduct, over decisions taken by the SAD-led Punjab government between 2007 and 2017.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>The SAD and BJP, which currently lead the governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra, are former allies.
