Guru Tegh Bahadur's valour against Aurangzeb teaches how country fights against terror: PM Modi
Underlining the contribution of the Sikh community in India's Independence and nation-building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Guru Tegh Bahadur's valour and his sacrifice against Aurangzeb teaches how the country fights against terror and religious extremism.
Virtually addressing the Gurpurab celebrations at Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib in Kutch of Gujarat, PM Narendra Modi said, "The contribution of our Gurus is not limited to society and spirituality only. It is the great penance of the Sikh Gurus at the core, that the faith and integrity of our nation are safe."

"Similarly, the life of the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib is also a living example of tenacity and sacrifice at every step. The way the country gave him the title of 'Hind ki Chadar', shows the attachment of every Indian towards the Sikh tradition," stated the Prime Minister.
Referring to his US visit, Prime Minister said that that his government brought back more than 150 historical objects including a peshkabja (small sword), on which the name of Guru Hargobind ji is written in Persian from America.
"More recently, we have successfully and safely brought Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan to India. What can be a greater experience of Guru's grace than this? Efforts were made at every level in order to spread the message of Guru Nanak Dev ji to the entire world with new energy. The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor which was awaited for decades, our government completed its construction in 2019," he said. -PTC News
