SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami accused the Punjab government of playing with Sikh sentiments and interfering in the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's (SGPC) internal affairs. Dhami stated the government's actions, including the arrest of an auditor in the missing saroops case, are attempts to divert attention from sacrilege incidents. He criticized the government's failure to deliver justice in sacrilege cases and alleged a political agenda to weaken the SGPC.
