:dateline:Vikram Kumar Babbi, resident of Dhanaula (Barnala), who hurled a�shoe at�Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Badal in a high level function on India�s independence day, is all set to become an�Amritdhari Sikh. He has announced that he will go to�Sri Darbar Sahib at Sri Amritsar along with his fellows to take Amrit from Panj Pyaras (Five beloved of Guru).
Speaking to media reporters, Vikram said, �I already used to think about taking Amrit, but after the incident of shoe hurling, I have realized that taking Amrit as per Sikh tenets is very necessary for fighting for the social cause as it makes the man responsible and enhances one�s self-confidence.�
�I am facing a�poor fiscal condition and unemployment due to hurling a shoe toward Badal. My wife has been expelled from a private school following the incident,� he added.
It is noteworthy that after being released from the jail on bail on September 9, 2014, he has not cut his hair and has started to wear a Keski (small turban).
