Devotees visiting the Golden Temple under the Punjab government's Mukhyamantri Teerth Yatra Yojana were asked by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) Task Force to remove identity cards displaying Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's photograph before entering the sanctum sanctorum.
All Sikh MLAs, including ministers from Punjab's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and legislators from other political parties, appeared before the Akal Takht at the Golden Temple after being summoned over the state's anti-sacrilege law.
