On the occasion, a booklet about the Singh Sabha Movement written by Sikh scholar Dr Rajwinder Singh Joga and published by SGPC’s Dharam Prachar Committee was also released.

Dhami said that in the light of Gurbani, ancient Sikhs worked for the prosperity of the Sikh faith with one passion and that the need of the hour was that the Sikh community should be united and fight taking a lesson from our leaders of Singh Sabha and Gurdwara Reform movements.
