Punjab Assembly Committee Seeks Public Input on Anti-Sacrilege Bill
The Punjab Assembly is gathering opinions from the public about a new law.
This law is about protecting holy books like the Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagavad Gita, Bible, and Quran.
If someone disrespects these books, they could go to jail for a long time.
People can share their thoughts by sending messages on WhatsApp, email, or even by talking to their local representatives.
A special group of people in the Assembly will look at all the suggestions and decide how to move forward.
The goal is to make sure everyone's voice is heard before the law is finalized.
