The Punjab government was already under severe criticism for not taking action as per Justice Ranjit Singh Commission’s recommendations. The Punjab government was reluctant to name Dera Sauda Sirsa (DSS) as a group responsible for incidents of beadbi of Guru Granth Sahib. The Punjab government led by Capt. Amarinder Singh was also trying to avoid taking action against culprit cops who were responsible for police firing at Behbal Kalan village in which two Sikhs were killed.
The parts of report were already being reported by various media sections, where as the Punjab government was totally silent on it.
