JAMMU, Apr 13: Addressing media-persons, along with heads of different Sikh Organizations, Chairman of National Sikh Front S. Varinder Jeet Singh, appealed to Sikh community voters to vote for BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections here today.
He stated that this is required because BJP party has always worked for the benefit of Sikh community, while Congress has always been anti Sikh in its approach and will always remain anti Sikh. He further stated that there was a very old demand of Sikh community of Jammu & Kashmir that a train should start directly from Jammu to Takht Shri Hazoor Sahib, Nanded (Maharashtra), which was never got fulfilled by any Congress government, but BJP government started Humsafar Express, full AC train, every Sunday from Jammu to Hazoor Sahib and will return on Friday from Hazoor Sahib to Jammu.
Efforts of Dr Jatendra Singh, Union MOS in PMO and now party candidate for Udhampur Lok Sabha seat were very important in starting this train on time. We thank Modi Government for this gift to Sikh community. Modi Government included the story of Chaar Sahibzade of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in CBSE history books, he added.
In 2017-18 Budget, Arun Jaitley, Union Finance Minister, announced Rs 100 crore on the eve of 350th Year Birth Celebration of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, with that amount Gurpurab celebration was organized in Patna Sahib in a grand manner, which was also attended by Prime Minister Modi, he further stated.
He also stated that Recently Central Govt. made Fateh Memorial Park at Subash Nagar, Delhi Metro Station. In this park, three statues of Baghel Singh and Jassa Singh Ahluwalia and Jassa Singh Ramgarhia have been installed. Former CM of Delhi Late Madan Lal Khurana once said in Parliament that in 1984 Congress committed Genocide of Sikhs, it was not anti-Sikh riots, it was ethnic cleansing of Sikhs. Madan Lal Khurana gave second language status to Punjabi when he was Chief Minister of Delhi. He also gave Rs 5 lakh as compensation to Sikh families who suffered in 1984 riots, he further added. |
