Giani Gargaj said till date the government shied away from formulating a stern law against the sacrilege instances, but when it comes to suppressing the Sikhs, it would not hesitate to abuse the laws like the NSA.
“It is a violation of human rights under a democratic set-up,” he said.
Meanwhile, family members of Amritpal held a press conference in which his father Tarsem Singh stated that if anything happened to him, only Bhagwant Mann and his government would be solely responsible for it.
