SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday termed Kashmir as a place of communal harmony where Amarnath Yatra, Eid, and Guru Hargobind Singh Ji’s Prakash Parv are being observed simultaneously.
While paying obeisance to Guru Hargobing Singh Ji at Shadimarg Pulwama, LG Sinha called upon the people to join hands and work together towards building a society without discrimination. “The people should rise above narrow considerations to promote the ideals of social harmony, righteousness, truthfulness, fraternity, and universalism,” he said.
LG Sinha said that the teachings of Guru Hargobind will continue to guide humanity on the path of peace and virtuous living. “Hargobind Singh Ji has always motivated people to embrace social equity besides compassion and social justice and his teachings of equality and brotherhood are very relevant in today’s world,” he said.
The LG also congratulated the people, especially the Sikh community, and said, “Shri Hargobind Singh Ji worked for the integrity of the country and always came forward to help the atrocities, which is a lesson for all of us.”
The Sikh community submitted a memorandum to the Lieutenant Governor who assured them that all their genuine demands will be addressed soon.
Parband Committee President Dr Amarjit Singh thanked the LG and the administration for the programme and said this was the first time that all the administrators joined the puja pot with them on their festival. “We are grateful to the LG administration and we hope that all our demands will be resolved on a priority basis,” Dr Singh said—(KNO)
