Chandigarh: Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar on Thursday wrote to chief minister Bhagwant Mann, demanding that the draft of the proposed anti-sacrilege law and the select committee report on it be made public.Calling the issue sensitive, Jakhar said the public, political parties and religious organisations should be taken into confidence before any new law or amendment was brought. He said the proposed changes to the Jagat Jyot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act, 2008, and the report of the 15-member select committee headed by Inderjit Singh Nijjar, should be shared in advance with political parties, MLAs and religious bodies.Jakhar said transparency was essential as the issue involved both religious faith and constitutional scrutiny.
