Anandpur Sahib: Bowing to pressure even from within the party, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal became an amritdari (baptised) Sikh on Wednesday. He got himself baptised by partaking Amrit (holy water) at Takht Keshgarh Sahib in this historic town, which is the birthplace of the 'Khalsa'. The junior Badal, son of CM Parkash Singh Badal, arrived here at 7 am and went to Takht Keshgarh Sahib, where he partook Amrit from the Panj Piaras (five beloved ones).Â

Why they are calling it <i>baptised</i>?
