Khanna (Ludhiana), July 7, 2025: Cabinet Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab President Aman Arora announced on Monday that the Punjab government is set to introduce a robust law to prevent acts of sacrilege, ensuring that no individual dares to desecrate religious texts or symbols.
Speaking to the media during a visit to the Sudhar Trust in Khanna, alongside Cabinet Ministers Tarunpreet Singh Sond and Harbhajan Singh ETO, Arora highlighted the need for stringent measures to protect Punjab’s religious harmony. He referenced past incidents, such as the Bargari-Behbal Kalan sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib a decade ago, which disrupted the state’s peace. “With this new law, we will ensure that such acts are deterred through strict legal consequences,” Arora asserted.
Arora reiterated that the state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, is dedicated to restoring Punjab’s prosperity and vibrancy. He emphasized that every decision made by the Mann-led government is driven by a commitment to the progress, welfare, and betterment of Punjab’s people.
Arora also issued a stern warning to those exploiting Punjab through violence, corruption, or drug trafficking. “Those who amass wealth through unlawful means will face the consequences of their actions,” he stated, reinforcing the government’s zero-tolerance stance on crime and corruption.
