Rejecting the communal tension in Punjab, he issued a message to Sikh community and devotees to fearlessly travel to the holy places across Punjab to celebrate Khalsa Sajna Day.

The jathedar said the state authorities deployed a large number of security personnel around Talwandi Sabo and devotees were subjected to unnecessary checking and frisking.
“But it is heartening to see people are coming in large numbers. Devotees may be facing hardship due to checking by the police but they still are coming with devotion,” he addeed.
He said carrying a sword was an integral part of Sikh tradition, but a section was lobbying to prohibit it, adding, “Sikhs must keep swords to follow the religious tradition.”
On the occasion, he appealed Sikh community to follow and learn the teachings and messages of Sikh gurus.
