Gurdwara Sis
Ganj Sahib in Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, is the place of martyrdom of Guru Teg
Bahadur.
The Chief Khalsa Diwan (CKD) on Monday acclaimed the New York (the US) Assembly for recognising Guru Tegh Bahadur as the protector of human rights and the Sikh community for its selfless deeds worldwide, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Members of the World
Sikh Parliament’s Councils for Religion along with Civil and Human Rights
organised the 345th martyrdom day and the 400th birth anniversary of Guru Tegh
Bahadur at the Gurdwara Sikh Center of New York recently. On the occasion,
state and city officials from New York joined members of the Sikh community and
recognised Guru Tegh Bahadur’s sacrifices to uphold human rights and justice.
CKD president Nirmal
Singh said it was a proud moment that the Guru’s birthday and martyrdom day
would be commemorated in the New York Legislative Assembly which had passed a
resolution in this regard.
Dharam Prachar
Committee chairman Bhag Singh Ankhi and honorary secretary Swainder Singh
Kathunangal said, “The move has further enhanced the dignity of the Sikh
community globally. The community’s social service beyond racial discrimination
also won accolades and Sikhs have won the heart of the local government on
foreign soil,” they said.
