A day after the Akal Takht directed the Punjab Government to amend the anti-sacrilege law by removing its "objectionable" provisions within a month, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann strongly defended the legislation, insisting that those guilty of sacrilege deserved the harshest punishment and asking, "Tell me what is wrong with it ?" His remarks come after 69 AAP MLAs, along with other Sikh legislators, appeared before the Akal Takht, where some AAP MLAs acknowledged they had given their consent to the Bill without reading its contents. The episode raises a larger question: If concerns have been raised by the Akal Takht and even some legislators admitted they had not examined the Bill before approving it, should the Government continue defending the law without introspection, or first address the questions surrounding its own legislative process ?

Suggestions - SLAH

A) The Government should first address the concerns raised before insisting the law is beyond question.

B) Defending a law becomes difficult when its own legislative process has come under scrutiny.

C) Strong Governments strengthen laws through dialogue and review, not only through public defence.

D) Public confidence grows when Governments are willing to revisit decisions in light of legitimate concerns.
