CM to PM: National committee for 400th Parkash Purb of Guru Tegh Bahadur

Date:

Chandigarh, January 13: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to constitute a national level committee to oversee the year-long 400th Prakash Purb celebrations of Ninth Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, on the lines of the 550th Prakash Purb Celebrations of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh pointed out that the state Government planned to celebrate the historic occasion in a befitting manner with a series of programmes through the year, beginning April 2020.

The Chief Minister apprised the Prime Minister that Punjab Government was already in the process of drawing up a detailed proposal for the commemoration of this mega event and the same would be shortly sent to the GoI.

Describing the 400th Prakash Purb of the Ninth Sikh Guru, scheduled to take place in April 2021, as a fortunate occasion for all, Captain Amarinder said that the Great Guru occupies a special place in the country’s history. He had sacrificed his life to uphold the principles of religious freedom and amity and was, therefore, rightfully called as ‘Hind di Chaadar’, he added.
