Punjab AAP MLA Alleges BJP-Akali Government Failed to Protect Guru Granth Sahib

Giaspura alleged the proposed BJP-Akali alliance aims to secure political protection in related cases and criticized their political use of religious issues. The current government has introduced stricter laws to ensure accountability.
