– Sukhbir Badal goes to Sri Akal Takht Sahib to seek forgiveness, but comes out & says he spoke casually: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann<\/strong><\/p>\n

– People of Punjab know that they conspired against Sri Akal Takht Sahib & went there to speak falsehoods: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Rajinder Kumar) NEW DELHI\/CHANDIGARH, 10 April: <\/strong>Drawing a sharp contrast between public faith and political conduct, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), which has already been rejected in the people\u2019s court, now stands exposed before the court of God as well. He criticised Sukhbir Singh Badal for contradictory conduct, noting that while seeking forgiveness at Sri Akal Takht Sahib, he later attempted to downplay his statements. CM Bhagwant Singh Mann asserted that the people of Punjab clearly recognise these actions as a deliberate attempt to mislead and undermine the sanctity of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.<\/p>\n

On the issue of religious authority and sacrilege, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reaffirmed the primacy of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, while also announcing decisive legislative action to ensure the strictest punishment against any act of desecration.<\/p>\n

Replying to a query, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that Sri Akal Takht Sahib is the supreme body of the Sikh community, asserting, \u201cEvery Punjabi in general and Sikhs in particular bow head before Sri Akal Takht Sahib and obey every order from it as the final authority.\u201d He added, \u201cIf Akali leader Sukhbir Singh Badal has committed any mistake, he must admit it before Sri Akal Takht Sahib, as per the established religious traditions and principles, instead of undermining its authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

On legislative measures, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann asserted that on the solemn occasion of Vaisakhi, a special Assembly session has been convened to amend the Jagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2008. He stated, \u201cAnyone daring to attempt sacrilege will face the strictest punishment with a minimum of 10 years and up to life imprisonment.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further added that consultations are ongoing with the Sant Samaj and legal luminaries regarding the proposed amendments to be introduced during the session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
