The Akal Takht, a senior Sikh temporal authority, declares Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann as “Guru Dokhi,” effectively excommunicating him. The decision follows allegations related to an “objectionable video,” which the Akal Takht cites as grounds for the action. Separately, the Akal Takht summons Sikh members of the Punjab legislative assembly to appear before it on 29 June. The summons is tied to a dispute involving the “anti-sacrilege” law, including controversial clauses that the Akal Takht challenges. Multiple outlets report that the matters leading to the summons and the excommunication are being addressed through the Akal Takht’s formal process. The announcements indicate that the Akal Takht is seeking explanations or responses from Sikh MLAs regarding the legislative provisions under scrutiny, alongside its ruling against the chief minister. No source in the provided material states the full legal or political response from the Punjab government or Mann, but both reports reflect the same core timeline: an Akal Takht declaration against Mann and MLA appearances scheduled for 29 June.
