CM turns 88, keeps it low-key affair

Lambi: Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who started his political career from sarpanch of his native Badal village, turned 88 on Tuesday. He preferred to keep the occasion a low-key affair, which sources say could be due to sacrilege incidents reported across the state in the past two months. He paid obeisance at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi and spent the rest of the day in Chandigarh holding routine meetings

CM’s son and his deputy Sukhbir Badal wished him through Facebook post. He wrote: “Badal Sahib continues to amaze all of us. With each passing day, he gets younger in spirit.
