The Akal Takht, the top Sikh religious body, has given the Punjab government a 24-hour ultimatum to release the youths arrested as part of the crackdown on fugitive pro-Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh. The jathedar, or head of the Akal Takht, Giani Harpreet Singh, issued a statement to the state and Central governments, asking why similar action was not taken against those demanding Hindu Rashtra.
