Amritsar-The reported threat to blow up Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) using RDX is not just an alarming development, but a direct assault on the spiritual soul of Punjab and the collective conscience of humanity. The Golden Temple is not only a sacred place of worship for Sikhs but also a global symbol of peace, harmony, and universal brotherhood. Such cowardly and despicable threats aim to spread fear, disturb communal harmony, and destabilise the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab. It is imperative that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Punjab Police, under the leadership of the DGP, treat this with utmost seriousness. Immediate and robust action is needed—not just to trace the origin of the threat but to prevent any possibility of its execution.
The entire security apparatus must be put on the highest level of alert, and intelligence-sharing mechanisms with central agencies must be activated without delay. This is a time for unity and vigilance. The devotees who visit Sri Harmandir Sahib daily must be reassured with visible and effective security measures. Any lapse, whether in intelligence or response, can have unthinkable consequences. Let us all stand united in condemning such threats and supporting the protection of our religious and cultural heritage. Terror will not break the spirit of Punjab. The sanctity of Sri Harmandir Sahib must be preserved at all costs.
