Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the president of the Punjab Congress, expressed strong criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's decision to hold a special assembly session on April 13, 2026. This session aims to amend the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2008, to impose stricter penalties for sacrilege against the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib. Warring contended that this move is merely an attempt by the AAP government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, to divert attention from its failures in addressing sacrilege incidents over the past four years.
