The dispute has revived one of Punjab's most sensitive political and religious issues ahead of state elections next year.
Akal Takht has been annoyed over the Punjab government bringing the amendments to the law without the opinion and consent of the Akal Takht, SGPC and Sikh community
The highest Sikh temporal authority says the amendment law was passed without consultations and gives the government a month’s time to re-amend the legislation. Akal Takht’s head says many MLAs admitted to have not read the draft of the legislation while passing it
Non-Sikh Cabinet Ministers were asked to submit their views in writing on the matter, whereas Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was not summoned
