Respect for the Guru Granth Sahib is of the utmost importance to Sikhs. However, in 2015, a premeditated conspiracy led to a series of sacrilegious acts (beadbi) against the Guru Granth Sahib, resulting in the incidents at Burj Jawahar Singh Wala, Bargari, Malke, and Gurusar Jalal. Following these events, several other incidents of desecration occurred. Since then, bringing the perpetrators of these acts to justice and ensuring strict punishment has become a major talking point, particularly in Punjab’s electoral politics. Many Sikhs and political parties are advocating for new legislation to impose stricter punishments for the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib. Dal Khalsa, a pro-freedom Sikh group, recently hosted a seminar in Rayya, Punjab, to discuss the issue. Addressing the gathering, Kanwarpal Singh Bittu, spokesperson of the Dal Khalsa, highlighted the nexus between perpetrators of the beadbi and the governments of the time. He pointed that Sikhs must realize their own responsibilities.
