The law, born from unresolved tensions after deadly 2015 protests, is now a political grenade — with opposition parties accusing the ruling Aam Aadmi Party of rushing it through, while the Chief Minister defends it amid looming elections and his own scandal. The Akal Takht has given the government a month to fix the law — or face a religious and political showdown. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
