A controversy erupted in Punjab's Bathinda after a lesbian couple got married in Gurdwara Sri Kalgidhar Sahib on September 18. Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) and Dal Khalsa demanded action against the gurudwara's managing committee and against the Granthi who performed the wedding. The Granthi has reportedly apologised amid the controversy, but SAD (A) and Dal Khalsa have demanded punitive action.
