Chandigarh-In a joint press statement, *Gurpartap Singh Wadala, Secretary General of Shiromani Akali Dal Punar Surjit; Senior Vice President **Sucha Singh Chhotepur; **Parminder Singh Dhindsa; **Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra; and **Gurjit Singh Talwandi, President of the Youth Akali Dal, strongly condemned the murderous attack on **Sukhbir Singh Badal*.
Sukhbir Singh Badal was injured in the attack, which took place at *Sri Hazur Sahib*.
The leaders said that Sikh gurdwaras are shared places of worship for the entire Sikh community, where devotees not only pray for their own well-being but also seek *Sarbat Da Bhala — the welfare of all humanity*. They said that a life-threatening attack on any devotee who comes to such a sacred place to pay respects is an extremely unfortunate and condemnable incident.
The leaders also expressed concern and surprise over how an attacker could gain such easy access to a leader who was under *Z-category security*. They said the circumstances surrounding the security breach should be thoroughly investigated.
All the leaders prayed for the *speedy recovery and good health of Sukhbir Singh Badal
