Punjab Govt, SGPC Clash Over Guru Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Events

The Punjab government and the SGPC, which manages Sikh temples, are fighting over who should lead the events for Guru Tegh Bahadur's anniversary.

The government wants to hold its own events, including a big trip and shows.

The SGPC thinks this is wrong and is already holding its own events.

They worry the government's actions will confuse people and go against traditions.

The government says the SGPC doesn't own the right to hold these events.

Both sides are preparing, and lots of people are expected to come.
