The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to refrain from tinkering with the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2008.
A panel appointed by the SGPC argued that while stringent laws against sacrilege were essential, these should be enacted under a separate legal framework rather than diluting the 2008 law, which exclusively governs the printing, publishing and storage of the Sikh scripture. The panel, including Justice Mohinder Mohan Singh Bedi (retd), former PSEB Chairman Kehar Singh, submitted a joint representation to the Chief Minister.
