JAMMU, Mar 11: The commitment of the Modi Government to confer a rightful place to the rich culture and heritage of Bharat has ensured the recognition of contributions of Sikh community at the societal, national and international level.
This was stated by J&K BJP president Sat Sharma, while Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee GTB Nagar, Channi Rama, Jammu, called upon him to address certain issues faced by the Community.
President of the Committee, Balbir Singh, along with Harpreet Singh and other committee members, called upon BJP president and BJP general secretary (organization) Ashok Koul at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
BJP Minority Morcha president, Ranjodh Singh Nalwa, facilitated the meeting to discuss key issues concerning the Sikh community.
Sat Sharma, while listening to the issues put forth by the Sikh deputation, said that all of their genuine issues would be resolved at the earliest. He said that the Modi Government has very high regards for the Sikh Gurus and the community and has made numerous efforts to give due recognition to the community.
The BJP president said that the Modi Government ensured the dignified and honourable bringing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to India from Afghanistan. He said that the Government took a landmark decision by declaring ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ on December 26 in memory of four Sahibzade, the brave sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
He said that Kartarpur Corridor was opened, fulfilling a long-pending demand of Sikhs by allowing them to visit Kartarpur sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan without a visa through the corridor. He added that the Modi government wiped the tears of Riot-victims through long-needed legal measures.
During the meeting, the primary concerns raised included the irregular water supply and the urgent need for the installation of a transformer for Gurdwara Sahib. The committee members emphasized the necessity of resolving these issues at the earliest to ensure smooth functioning of the Gurdwara and convenience for the devotees.
