Supreme Sikh religious body akal takht accuses AAP leaders of challenging its supremacy

The confrontation between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab and the Akal Takht—the highest temporal seat of Sikhism—has reached a boiling point. Following a series of legislative disputes, the officiating Jathedar, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, has issued a 10-day ultimatum to the Punjab government to halt what he described as a "defamatory campaign" against Sikh institutions being carried out by "outsiders" on social media.
