On Saturday, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar, expressing deep gratitude for the opportunity to pray at the sacred Harmandir Sahib.

"I performed Shirshasan to offer thanks on the Yoga Day and not to hurt anybody's sentiments. I did not intend any such thing. I feel bad that you felt bad. I did not intend to hurt religious sentiments. I apologise, I have been perceived wrongly. I have received death threats and abuses," she said. 

The slogans were raised by activists of various outfits, including the Simranjit Singh Mann-led Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), and former MP Dhian Singh Mand Mann, who recently lost the Lok Sabha poll from the Sangrur seat, was also present.
