Originally Published 2 years ago — by Times of India

Parkash Singh Badal, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patriarch and five-time chief minister of Punjab, passed away at the age of 95 due to acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma. He was admitted to the hospital on April 16 and was closely monitored by doctors. Badal was conferred with the Padma Bhushan in 2015 but returned it in December 2020 to protest against the contentious farm laws. He made significant contributions to Punjab politics and the welfare of farmers and weaker groups during his lengthy political and administrative career.
