Political tension rises in Punjab Assembly over Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Bill-2026 as AAP and opposition clash.
A major political controversy has erupted in the Punjab Assembly after the introduction of the Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Bill-2026, turning the House into a heated arena of debate between ruling and opposition parties. The issue quickly gained attention as political leaders exchanged sharp statements over the proceedings.
The Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Bill-2026 has now become a central topic in Punjab politics, with the ruling party defending it as a step toward strengthening religious respect and social harmony, while opposition leaders face criticism over their absence during the discussion.
AAP Attacks Opposition Over Absence
AAP leader Tarunpreet Singh Sond strongly criticized the opposition, particularly the Badal faction, for not being present in the Assembly during the debate on the Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Bill-2026. He questioned the seriousness of leaders who have often spoken on religious and Panthic issues but failed to participate in such an important discussion.
According to Sond, the absence of opposition members during the Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Bill-2026 debate raises serious questions about their commitment and political responsibility.
Allegations of Changing Political Stance
Tarunpreet Singh Sond further alleged that certain leaders in the past have changed their stance on Panthic issues and even admitted their mistakes before Sri Akal Takht Sahib, but later deviated from their own statements.
