<h1>Removal of religious leaders by a governing religious body triggers legislative condemnation and calls for a consultative governance framework.</h1> Removal of three senior clerical leaders by the governing body of Sikh gurdwaras prompted united legislative condemnation for harming community unity; two were removed in March and another in February for alleged inadequate leadership. The contested clerical edict and a committee to oversee a membership and election drive were not accepted by a major political party, producing parallel institutional initiatives. Lawmakers urged a consultative framework with Sikh organisations to protect religious institutions, regulate membership drives and election oversight, and prevent future conflicts between religious authorities and political parties.
