Akal Takht Panel Seeks Punjab Compliance Report Before Anti-Sacrilege Act Talks
An expert panel appointed by Akal Takht has requested the Punjab government to submit a compliance report addressing objections raised on June 29 before further discussions on the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026. The panel criticized the government's July 29 response as evasive and noted it failed to resolve concerns about interference in Sikh religious matters. Despite ample time, Punjab has yet to form its own committee for dialogue, prompting the panel to delay talks until compliance is demonstrated.
