Punjab Government and Akal Takht Committees Engage on Anti-Sacrilege Law Amendments
The Punjab government has formed a seven-member committee to discuss proposed amendments to the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026, coordinating with a five-member committee appointed by the Akal Takht. While the government emphasizes considering all suggestions before finalizing changes, the Akal Takht has requested the law be kept in abeyance until consensus is reached, expressing dissatisfaction with the government's delayed responses. Both sides maintain that the law's intent should remain unchanged during consultations.
