These two great warriors of the Sikh community had strengthened the Gurdwara Reform Movement by giving martyrdom to take over the management of Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran. The sacrifice of these martyrs cannot be forgotten.”
The SGPC president appealed to the sangat (congregation) to come forward to connect the children and youth with the glorious history of the Sikh community.
Meanwhile, Bibi Jagir Kaur also appealed to the sangat to uphold the Sikh code of conduct and educate the children.
SGPC member Bibi Kiranjot Kaur and Istari Akali Dal president of Tarn Taran district Bibi Rapinder Kaur Brahmpura also shared their views on the occasion.
Earlier, raagi jathas connected the sangat with Gurbani Kirtan and dhadi (ballad singers) and kavishar jathas (poetry groups) shared the history.
On this occasion, SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur and prominent personalities were honoured with Siropao (robe of honour).
During the function, among others, former president of the SGPC S. Alvinderpal Singh Pakhoke, Baba Jagtar Singh of Kar Sewa Tarn Taranwale, member Bhai Manjit Singh, S. Khushwinder Singh Bhatia, Bhai Ajaib Singh Abhayasi, and other officials were present.
Government of India should rectify its mistake by repealing agriculture laws: Bibi Jagir Kaur
On the occasion of the centenary celebrations of the Saka Tarn Taran Sahib, SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give up his stubbornness. Bibi Jagir Kaur said, “It is unfortunate that tear gas shells were hurled at farmers in Delhi yesterday. This is happening because of the stubbornness of the Prime Minister of the country.
Such a situation would not have arisen if the government had considered the legitimate demands of the farmers. The government of India should listen to the farmers and rectify its mistakes by repealing the law.”
