On the third day after the visit of the Dera Beas chief, Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal also reached Nabha jail to meet Bikram Singh Majithia. Harsimrat Badal and Ganiv Kaur Majithia were also present with him.
Bikram Majithia has been lodged in Nabha jail since July 6 and Sukhbir Badal reached the jail for the first time today to meet Majithia. On July 15, Sukhbir Badal did not go to Nabha to meet Majithia.
A few days before his arrest, Bikram Majithia had criticized the removal of Panthic Jathedars. So far, the speculations that Sukhbir Badal is keeping his distance from Majithia will be put to rest today, but the fact that the Dera chief reached the jail just after the meeting has sparked new discussions.
