Position paper by Kendri Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Chandigarh titled Jagat Jyot Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2026 and the Supremacy of the Shabad Guru: Panthic Concerns, Challenges and Future Policy.
Kendri Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Chandigarh hosted a discussion on topic "Jagat Jyot Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2026 and the Supremacy of the Shabad Guru: Panthic Concerns, Challenges and Future Policy" on 15 July 2026.
A major political confrontation has emerged in Punjab over the newly enacted Jagat Jyot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satikar (Amendment) Act, 2026. The growing deadlock between the AAP-led state government and supreme Sikh institutions, including the SGPC and Sri Akal Takht Sahib, has revived a nineteen-year-old prophetic warning. A 2007 memorandum by the Sikh Students Federation cautioned that inviting a secular state to legislate on Sikh religious affairs would eventually undermine Panthic sovereignty—a foresight many observers argue has now materialized.
Amid growing controversy over the newly proposed 2026 Amendment, prominent Sikh intellectuals and legal experts are urging the community to reject state interference and demand the repeal of both the 2026 Amendment and the original 2008 Act.

The Sikh intellectuals and academicians have opposed the publishing of Dr. Gurbaghat Singh’s English translation of Granth Sahib by some individuals saying such exercise will mar the authenticity of the great work done by the late Sikh scholar.

In the last days of June 2020, our igneous Intelligence Agencies have ‘unearthed one terror module after another, supported by ISI of Pakistan and the Sikhs For Justice.’ In consequence, God knows how many, Sikh young men have been arrested, some (maybe all) have been tortured and insulted in a bid to demoralize and demonize the people in order to secure them in eternal slavery by total denial of constitutional and innate human rights.
In a joint statement Sikh intellectuals, activists, journalists and lawyers today protested that instead of holding the Modi government guilty for a sudden lockdown that trapped unaware crores of migrant labor and other people at several places, the pro-Hindutva media outlets that earlier targeted Tabligh Jamaat and now accused the Sikh pilgrims of the spread of coronavirus in Punjab.
The announcement of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) that recognizing “yeoman services” rendered by the Punjab police personnel during coronavirus curfew, their wards would be given free education in various para-medic courses at its Health University is a sheer expression of slavery mentality and ignorance of prevailing reality on the ground, the Sikh Vichar Manch (SVM) said in a written statement issued today.
Sikh Intellectuals and Civil Rights activists today expressed their dismay that the government has been tackling a disease related social problem of coronavirus at the level of fighting a ‘war’ by imposing top-down strict curfew showing no compassion to the people already suffering a fear psychosis of the pandemic.
