SAD-BJP will work for free pilgrimage to Sikh shrines in Pak: Parkash Singh Badal

The unprecedented sacrifice made by the 10th Sikh Guru would go a long way in the annals of world history for galvanising the hapless people to fight against tyranny, oppression and injustice unleashed by the mighty Mughals, he said.

“…SAD-BJP alliance would make all out efforts to ensure free pilgrimage to devotees to Nankana Sahib and Panja Sahib, the sikh shrines in Pakistan, if the alliance is voted to power again in Punjab,” Badal said.

Inviting people to attend the 350th birth anniversary celebrations in Patna in January next year, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said people should reach the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh to make it a memorable event.

On the occasion, the chief minister and his deputy unveiled a huge statue of the legendary Sikh warrior Baba Banda Singh Bahadur installed at the Punjab government’s estate Nabha House.

Targeting the AAP dispensation in Delhi, Sukhbir said he was constrained to note that the Delhi government denied permission for installation of this statue in the city and thus the Punjab government decided to get it installed at its estate in the national capital.
