What Happened
Sikh organizations Guru-Adab Morcha Sirhind and Lok-Raj Punjab announced plans to file a contempt plea in the Supreme Court against Punjab's new anti-sacrilege law enacted April 13. Leaders criticized the law as 'partial' and 'contemptuous,' claiming it circumvents court judgments recognizing Sri Guru Granth Sahib as a juristic person. They alleged Punjab Government failed delivering justice in sacrilege cases.
