Temples should be included in Sacrilege Bill in Punjab: BJP
The Political and Business Daily
|July 07, 2025
BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Sunday demanded that Hindu temples and idols should also be included in the proposed Sacrilege Bill, for which a special Punjab Assembly session has been called on July 10 and 11.
-
Chugh regretted that the Bill is being brought by the Bhagwant Mann government even after more than three years of its promise made in the election manifesto.
“But better late than never,” he said and demanded that the Bill must also include “Pran Pratishthit” Hindu temples in Punjab.
Chugh said that lately there have been a number of incidents in which Hindu temples were targeted.
The BJP, he said, holds Guru Granth Sahib in the highest esteem, so the party welcomes the Bill, but at the same time Hindu idols should also be accorded respect.
