Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has spoken for the first time on the issue of Harsimrat Kaur Badal’s resignation. He said, “The lure of office means nothing to an Akali. Countless times, as during the Emergency, we turned down outright offers of power as a price for silence against injustice. But we always spurned such offers and preferred to stand by the country and principles, and filled jails for that. That tradition will always live on.” publive-image He has hailed the party’s decision to pull out of Union Cabinet as a landmark moment.
