The Akal Takht has warned the Punjab government against interfering in Sikh affairs, particularly concerning the investigation into 328 missing 'saroops' (Sikh scriptures). Following an FIR against former SGPC officials, the Akal Takht, after a meeting with Sikh clergy, stated that the matter should be resolved by the Takht, not government or police mechanisms. They cautioned that any political party attempting to benefit from this issue or interfere would face consequences according to panthic traditions.
