By Amrik Singh
AMRITSAR: In order to inform the Sangat about the shortcomings and Panthic objections in the 'The Jagat Jyot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act (2026)' passed by the Punjab Government, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has put up informative flex boards outside various Gurdwaras .
These boards have included information regarding the Act made by the government, through the word Custodian, making the servants of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
Granthi and Akhandpathi Singhs, Gurdwara Committees and devotees conducting Sri Akhand Path Sahib responsible for cases of sacrilege or violation of etiquette and bringing them under the ambit of punishment and fines, creating fear among the Sangat by bringing violation of etiquette as a legal violation, paving the way for direct intervention by the police in Gurdwaras, changing Panthic terminology and not defining the terminology related to service maintenance and places according to Sikh sentiments.
Giving information in this regard, SGPC Chief Secretary Kulwant Singh Mannan said that this is a very serious matter related to the sentiments of the nation. Sikh scholars and intellectuals have expressed serious objections to the act passed by the Punjab government. It is very important to make the Sangat aware of these serious objections. In view of this, these boards have been installed.
He said that the issues of sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are very sensitive for the Sikh community and any law made in this regard must be in accordance with Panthic sentiments, Gurmat principles and the guidance of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
He appealed to all the devotees to remain aware of this matter and unite under the leadership of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to protect Panthic unity and principles.
