“The contribution of Master Tara Singh, be it religious or political, cannot ever be ignored,” said Deputy Commissioner (DC) Shivdular Singh Dhillon on Wednesday. He was speaking at a state-level function organised by the district administration at Government Senior Secondary School, Mall Road, to commemorate his birth anniversary. “The state government has decided to erect a memorial of Master ji at Jang-e-Azaadi Museum in Kartarpur, where his memorabilia will be kept to inspire the youth to follow in his footsteps. A discussion in this regard has been held with members of his family,” said the DC.

Master Tara Singh’s granddaughter Kiranjot Kaur, who is a member of the SGPC, said “Master ji lived a selfless life, dedicated solely to the nation and the Sikh religion.” She recounted many untold memories of the freedom struggle and the Gurdwara Reform Movement.

On the occasion, kin of Master Tara Singh were honoured by Assistant Commissioner Alka Kalia, Additional DC (Development) Rajinder Singh Mudhal, Social Welfare Officer Narinderjit Pannu and District Education Officer Satinderbir Singh.
