Amritsar, March 29 -- The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) on Saturday passed a series of resolutions expressing concern over alleged attempts to dilute the distinct identity of the Sikh community, while also criticising the Punjab government's handling of the proposed "Punjab Prevention of Offences Against Holy Scriptures Bill, 2025". During its budget session, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami read out multiple resolutions, including one calling for unity among Sikhs worldwide to counter efforts that could undermine the community's separate religious identity. The SGPC asserted that Sikhism is an independent faith with its own history, philosophy, and traditions, and warned against narratives - particularly on social media - that seek to merge or dilute this identity. The apex gurdwara body also raised serious concerns over the state government's approach to sacrilege cases and the proposed legislation on offences against holy scriptures. It alleged that despite repeated incidents of sacrilege, there has been inadequate investigation and a lack of strict punishment for those responsible. The SGPC termed the legislative process "casual and arbitrary" and opposed any amendments to existing laws governing the sanctity of the Guru Granth Sahib. In another key resolution, the SGPC demanded the commutation of the death sentence of Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted in the assassination of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh, and called for the release of other Sikh prisoners who have been incarcerated for long periods. It also raised concerns over the treatment of Devinderpal Singh Bhullar and questioned the silence of Sikh leaders within the BJP. The committee further urged the immediate reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor, stating that its closure due to India-Pakistan tensions has hurt the religious sentiments of Sikh devotees. Additional resolutions highlighted issues such as the misuse of artificialintelligence to create offensive content targeting Sikh beliefs, and police encounters involving youth in Punjab. The SGPC also strongly opposed any attempt to take over the Miri Piri Medical College, stating that it would not be tolerated....
