Debate With Arnab: Sukhbir Badal Attacked Day After Meeting PM Modi, A Bigger Conspiracy?

Debate With Arnab examines the attack on Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal in Nanded, days after his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi revived speculation over a possible SAD-BJP political realignment ahead of the 2027 Punjab polls.

Badal sustained a hand injury in the alleged kirpan attack at Mata Sahib Kaur Gurdwara. The accused was detained and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered an investigation into the motive. Police have not established a political conspiracy or any link to a wider network so far; the investigation is ongoing.
