Chandigarh(Sandeep Singh Chahal) The bill against sacrilege was passed and sent to the Select Committee, and now its term has been extended until the elections, effectively putting that bill on the back burner.These are the comments of MLA Pargat Singh .He challenged that anybody can debate as much as they like about the actions taken during the Congress government’s tenure in the 2015 sacrilege cases and the actions taken in the four years of the Bhagwant Mann government the truth is that the entire process has been completely stalled, the guilty have been given full protection, and all cases have been transferred out of Punjab.
Pargat Singh further said that anyone can debate as much as they like about the actions taken during the Congress government’s tenure in the 2015 sacrilege cases and the actions taken in the four years of the Bhagwant Mann government the truth is that the entire process has been completely stalled, the guilty have been given full protection, and all cases have been transferred out of Punjab.
You can debate as much as you like about the actions taken during the Congress government’s tenure in the 2015 sacrilege cases and the actions taken in the four years of the Bhagwant Mann government the truth is that the entire process has been completely stalled,The guilty have been given full protection, and all cases have been transferred out of Punjab added Pargat Singh
“The entire process has been completely stalled. The guilty have been given full protection, and all cases have been transferred out of Punjab. You can debate as much as you like about what Congress did or what AAP has done in four years the truth is that nothing has changed for the victims.”

This is due high moral character of Pargat Singh even he did not spare the previous Congress government either, acknowledging that the 2015 sacrilege incidents and their aftermath remained unresolved even during Congress rule. However, he stressed that the AAP government’s four-year tenure had made things worse by creating an illusion of legislative action while allowing perpetrators to walk free.The bill was passed with great fanfare. The Sikh community was told that justice was finally on its way. But extending the Select Committee’s term until elections is nothing but a political delay tactic — a way to keep the issue alive on paper while burying it in practice,” he said. The MLA further pointed out that shifting all sacrilege-related cases out of Punjab has effectively removed local accountability and left the families of victims without any meaningful recourse in their home state.
The 2015 sacrilege incidents involving the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in Bargari and nearby villages in Faridkot have remained one of Punjab’s most sensitive and unresolved political issues. Multiple governments have been accused of shielding the accused. The anti-sacrilege bill was seen as a legislative response, but its progress has stalled at the committee stage.Pargat Singh’s remarks are expected to intensify political debate ahead of the next Punjab Assembly elections, with sacrilege justice emerging once again as a key electoral fault line.
