    Background

    Badal's resignation follows 'tankhaiya' declaration

    The resignation comes months after Badal was declared "tankhaiya" by the Akal Takht for alleged religious misconduct during his party's government tenure from 2007-2017.

    Badal met with the jathedar on Wednesday to discuss his penalty for religious misconduct charges.

    "It has been more than two-and-a-half months since I was declared 'tankhaiya'. But today, the Sikh Panth and Punjab are facing huge challenges. At this time, I'm unable to help in such dire situations even if I wanted to," he wrote.
