A massive motorcycle rally will take place in Gurdaspur on February 19 to demand a strict anti-sacrilege law. A massive motorcycle rally in Gurdaspur will press the government to enact a strong legal framework to prevent sacrilege of any religion and religious scriptures.
Organisers expect hundreds of riders to participate in the procession across key areas of the city. They say the rally aims to raise awareness and build pressure on the state government to introduce a comprehensive law with stringent penalties. Volunteers have also planned peaceful coordination to ensure smooth conduct of the event.
The protest movement traces its roots to Samana, where Bhai Gurjeet Singh Khalsa has continued a sit-in atop a 400-foot tower for more than 508 days. Through this prolonged protest, he has consistently demanded firm legislation to curb incidents of sacrilege. His stand has drawn attention from religious and social groups across Punjab.
Meanwhile, Morcha coordinator Bhai Gurpreet Singh, representing the Sarv Dharam Beadbi Roko Kanoon Morcha, has been camping in Gurdaspur to mobilise public support. He has appealed to people from all faiths to join the rally and strengthen the call for legal reform.
After the rally, organisers will submit a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner. They will urge the administration to forward their demand to the state government without delay.
Several organisations have extended support, including the Sanatan Jagran Manch, ward councillors, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni), and the District Traders’ Association. Supporters believe the rally will send a strong and united message about the urgency of protecting religious sentiments.
