Babushahi Bureau
Amritsar (Punjab), April 6, 2026: A special Sikh gathering convened by the Shiromani Committee at Sri Amritsar Sahib focused on discussions around the draft Beadbi (sacrilege) law and other key community issues. During the event, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gurgajj, Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, emphasized Sikh principles and the importance of unity within the community.
Speaking to the media, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh highlighted the supremacy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, describing it as the living light of the ten Gurus, encompassing the sacred writings of the Gurus, saints, and devoted Sikhs. He underlined that all decisions connected to the respect and principles of Guru Granth Sahib Ji must be made collectively by the entire Panth.
The Jathedar noted that today, diverse sects, groups, and Singh Sahibs came together on a single platform, expressing hope that whenever the Panth unites, the outcomes benefit the community’s spiritual and social upliftment.
Ahead of the special assembly scheduled by the government on April 13, religious factions are preparing their recommendations to ensure no gaps remain in the proposed law. A unified resolution may emerge from this gathering, providing a framework for strict punishment for Beadbi (sacrilege) offenders and legally strengthening the protection of sacred institutions and religious dignity.
