On the auspicious occasion of 550th Prakash Purab of Sachey Patshah Satguru (True Emperor True Teacher) Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, the Sikh Qaum (community) has been blessed by Akal Purakh (Eternal Entity) and the great Guru Sahibs on this historic occasion; the daily prayers of all the sangat (Congregation), belonging to every nook and corner of the world for decades are being accepted in the Dargah of Akal Purakh (The Almighty God’s Court). As a result and as a first step, a corridor connecting Dera Baba Nanak Sahib and the shrines of Guru Nanak Patshah’s life at Kartarpur Sahib (Pakistan) has been opened for the sangat.
On the 550th birth anniversary of Satguru Sachey Patshah Ji, what greater divine gift could the Sikh Sangat have received than for a head of the country to become the Messiah and show political, administrative and diplomatic courage for fulfilling this wish of the Sikh community. It is only by the grace of the Guru that the joy of opening this corridor of faith, belief and love for humanity has been bestowed upon the person, who himself is deeply in love with Sikhism and greatly devoted to the Guru’s feet. An example of this devotion is the unparalleled contribution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in celebrating the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Maharaj, including the opening of Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor and making Sultanpur Lodhi, the first karambhumi of Guru Sahib, a state-of the-art smart city. There are a number of steps that have been taken to address the long-standing grievances of the Sikh Qaum. It is the heartfelt wish and prayer of the entire Sikh Qaum that Shri Narendra Modi will always be the object of love, respect and trust of the Sikh Qaum.
In the past, invisible obstacles were being put in the way of Kartarpur Sahib corridor by the same forces which had been talking in favour of this corridor only for the sake of show-off. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi boldly sidestepped the ongoing tensions between the two countries and many other unfortunate issues and preferred to fulfill the wish of the Sikh community to pay obeisance at the holy shrines. The entire Khalsa Panth is extremely grateful to him for the heartfelt gift he has given to the Sikh Qaum on this great occasion by initiating this Corridor.
Today, the Prime Minister of the country is present among us to express his love and respect for the Sikh Qaum and immense devotion to the great Gurus. As soon as he took over as the Prime Minister in 2014, he immediately took concrete decisions and started the process of bringing the perpetrators of the extremely sad and shameful tragedy of 1984 to justice and punishing them. Many murderers, including politically-sponsored assassins, have been thrown behind bars and many more are coming under the purview of the law. In addition, the Modi government has provided relief of Rs 5 lakh to each victim family, numbering about three and a half thousand.
