Patna, May 18
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, after paying obeisance at Takht Sri Harimandir Ji, Patna Sahib, the sacred birthplace and land blessed by the footsteps of the Tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh Ji, said Punjab has shown the entire country the path to protecting the honour of the Gurus by enacting the strictest law against beadbi. Offering prayers for the prosperity, well-being, and Chardi Kala of Punjab, Punjabis, and the entire Sikh Sangat, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann expressed gratitude to Guru Sahib for blessing Punjab with the opportunity to enact a stringent law against beadbi in order to uphold the sanctity and dignity of the holy Shabad Guru. Calling beadbi an unforgivable crime against the faith of millions, the Chief Minister appealed to all state governments across the country to bring similar-ly tough laws, asserting that Punjab was ready to extend every possible help in this regard. CM Bhagwant Singh Mann further made it clear that anyone daring to commit beadbi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Punjab would now have to spend their entire life in jail, send-ing a firm message that no act hurting religious senti-ments would be tolerated anymore.
