He said after the Punjab Assembly unanimously passed the Bill, the Jathedar of Akal Takht, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, suggested certain amendments. The state government accepted these suggestions with utmost respect and has already submitted a draft incorporating the proposed changes. Kang said the AAP government deeply "respects Sri Akal Takht Sahib and all Sikh religious institutions. Our objective has never been to interfere in Sikh religious affairs. The sole purpose of this law is to ensure that anyone who intentionally commits sacrilege faces the strictest legal punishment".
