Akal Takht Asks Sikh MLAs, Ministers To Shun Bhagwant Mann In Punjab Assembly

Akal Takht directed Sikh MLAs and ministers to distance themselves from Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

The directive follows Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj rejecting the Punjab government's response to proposed anti-sacrilege legislation amendments.

This move escalates tensions between the Sikh temporal authority and the state government.

The controversy centers on amendments to laws addressing desecration of Sikh scripture.
