Punjab Government Responds to Akal Takht on Anti-Sacrilege Law Amendments
The Punjab government submitted its response to the Akal Takht regarding objections to the recently enacted anti-sacrilege law after a one-month deadline expired. Sikh leaders, including Akal Takht acting jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, criticized the delay and called for amendments reflecting Sikh sentiments. The government plans to address the issue in the upcoming Monsoon Assembly session, with proposals reviewed by the Punjab advocate general. A joint committee involving the Akal Takht, SGPC, and government representatives has been suggested to reach consensus on the law's provisions.
