Breaking News: Sikh MLAs Appear Before Akal Takht Over Sacrilege Law

All Sikh MLAs, including ministers from Punjab’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party and other political parties, appeared before the Akal Takht at the Golden Temple after being summoned over the state’s anti-sacrilege law. The Akal Takht has objected that neither it nor the SGPC was consulted before the law was enacted and has also raised concerns over provisions related to monitoring copies of the Guru Granth Sahib. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is not appearing, as he has already been declared socially boycotted by the SGPC over the controversy. AAP legislators have submitted a written explanation, maintaining that the law only amends the 2008 legislation. Meanwhile, opposition leaders continue to target the Punjab government over the issue, while the SGPC is considering legal action, keeping the controversy over the anti-sacrilege law alive.
