Minister says Kaka ji should become Khalsa
WSN Network

PATIALA: Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh badal is racing fast to wean his party away from Sikhi and embrace Punjabiat concept but fellow Akali leaders now see Sikhi as a sort of weapon in which Sukhbir could be trapped. So it was the turn of Akali Dal general secretary and Punjab's Cooperation Minister Kanwaljit Singh on Tuesday to suggest that Sukhbir should get himself baptised.

"We have advised him to get baptized as earliest as possible," the minister said. Interestingly, he was one of those who had endorsed Sukhbir's taking over the reigns of the party knowing fully well that as per the Akali Dal's constitution, only an amritdhari Sikh could become its president.

Sukhbir is the first Akali Dal president who is not baptised.
