The Amritpal Singh case escalated when the Punjab government claimed in court that a single speech by the jailed MP could “set the five rivers on fire,” exposing how threatened the state feels by his democratic mandate. Despite winning a landslide, he is barred from both physical and virtual participation in Parliament, with the government relying on unproven allegations to justify silencing him. His counsel argues there is no evidence of danger, only an attempt to block legitimate representation. The government’s own statements reveal a deeper fear that his voice could challenge its authority and intensify dissent, raising serious questions about India’s democratic standards.

Today, the Sikh Panth honors the 350th anniversary of the supreme sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji, our revered Ninth Guru, who laid down his life to protect one of humanity’s most sacred principles, the freedom to practice one’s faith without fear or coercion.
His martyrdom is not only a defining moment in our history, but a timeless beacon of courage and compassion. Even now, we continue that very struggle, drawing strength from his unparalleled example as we remain unwavering in our commitment to safeguarding this fundamental human right.
Indian State is preparing to introduce the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which proposes bringing the Union Territory of Chandigarh under Article 240 of the Constitution, a provision that currently governs several other UTs. At present, Chandigarh is administered by the Governor of Punjab, but the proposed amendment could pave the way for the appointment of an independent administrator, similar to the administrative frameworks in Lakshadweep and other Union Territories.
The move is expected to revive long-standing political debates, especially given Punjab’s historical claims over Chandigarh. The city was declared the capital of Punjab after Partition, following the loss of Lahore to Pakistan. After the 1966 reorganisation of Punjab, Chandigarh became the shared capital of both Punjab and Haryana. Through various accords over the decades, the Centre had assured Punjab that Chandigarh would eventually be transferred to the state, a promise that has remained unfulfilled.
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji laid the pathway of the Sikh faith. The first guru of the Sikh faith is revered and celebrated in many cultures due to his universal messages of love, compassion and equality expressed through the tenets of truthful living, prayer and sharing with others.
