Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has been summoned by the Sri Akal Takht Sahib over alleged "anti-Sikh" remarks, sparking a political confrontation. The Akal Takht accuses Mann of disrespecting Sikh sentiments, questioning religious practices, and undermining the authority of the highest Sikh temporal seat. Mann's demand for live telecast of proceedings has intensified the standoff, highlighting the frequent intersection of religious issues with governance and political identity in Punjab, reminiscent of past sacrilege incidents.
