Badal (Pb), Apr 27 (PTI) Parkash Singh Badal was cremated on Thursday at his ancestral village in Punjab’s Muktsar district with thousands of mourners and leaders across the political spectrum paying their last respects to the Akali stalwart and five-time chief minister.
SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal lit the pyre at the funeral held with full state honours.
Badal’s mortal remains were taken to the family’s farmland around a kilometer from the residence on a flower-decked tractor-trolley with his son Sukhbir Singh Badal and other family members standing with folded hands as the vehicle moved past mourners on the route.
