Bathinda, April 12 -- Ahead of a special assembly session called for April 13 to introduce the anti-sacrilege bill, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday charged the Bhagwant Mann government with maintaining double standards on the sensitive religious issue. Addressing the last rally of SAD's Punjab Bachao programme in the first phase, at Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda, Sukhbir said the anti-sacrilege bill passed by the assembly in 2016, during the Akali regime, stipulated a life sentence for sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. "Instead of indulging in a drama on this sensitive issue, the CM should take up the 2016 bill with the central government and get it passed," he added. He said in the last 10 years, during different governments, there were 597 sacrilege incidents, but protests were held only during the Akali regime when sacrilege events occurred during the tenures of the Congress and AAP as well.HTC...
