The Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab plans to table a resolution on 20 June to amend the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925, so as to ensure free telecast of Gurbani from Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple). The Act governs the functioning of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which manages at least 100 gurdwaras in Punjab, including Harmandar Sahib, and also allots rights for telecast of Gurbani. The move has been opposed by SGPC and Shiromani Akali Dal, who have called it interference in Sikh affairs.
