Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], January 29 (ANI): Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Harsimrat Kaur slammed the Congress government in the state over the incident of Rahul Gandhi's pocket being picked at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, questioning if it is another attempt at bringing a bad name to the holiest Sikh shrine after the incident of sacrilege.

"Who picked @RahulGandhi's pocket at Sri Harmandir Sahib?@CHARANJITCHANNI? @sherryontopp ? or @Sukhjinder_INC? These were the only 3 persons allowed by Z-security to get near him. Or is it just one more attempt to bring bad name to our holiest shrine, after the 'be-adbi' incidents," said Badal in a tweet.
