Secret holiday

Known for his frequent flying ways,Punjab’s Deputy Chief ister Sukhbir Singh Badal has again flown out of the country,this time with his wife Harsimrat Kaur Badal (member of Parliament from Bathinda) and his children on a week-long vacation. The state government,however,has not made public the places where the Badal family is expected to go citing “security reasons”. During his previous personal trips,Sukhbir has been spotted in Middle Asian countries. But this time around,despite the complete silence from the government,speculation is already rife that the younger Badal could be travelling to places ranging from West Asia to Europe or even the US. Clearly,those “leaking” out these probable destinations are in no mood to take any chances.
