BKU performs ‘ardas’ for success of farmers' agitation’s

Amritsar, March 14

Devotees paid obeisance at the Golden Temple with the commencement of the Nanakshahi year, which is dedicated to the 400th Parkash Purab of Guru Teg Bahadur, on Sunday.

A group of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Doaba), on behalf of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, performed ‘ardas’ at the Akal Takht for the victory of the farmers’ agitation against three agricultural laws.

Satnam Singh, member, BKU (Doaba) said: “The holy occasion was an opportunity to reiterate the resolve to impress upon the government to roll back the farm laws. The movement has proved that the mass agitation can be run against the one-sided polices of governments.”

He said in no way the ongoing movement had weakened as the farmers were canvassing against the BJP even in those states where elections were underway.

Meanwhile, Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh and SGPC President Bibi Jagir Kaur congratulated the Sikh sangat on the new year and asked them to lead life as per the gurmat.

Meanwhile, special gurmat programmes were held to mark the occasion. Giani Jagtar Singh, head granthi, Golden Temple, in his address during the gurmat programme at the Gurdwara Manji Sahib Diwan Hall said the gurmat ideology was an enlightened path to resolve the differences of the present consumerism-oriented world.

During the gurmat programme, a book, “Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib Sangeet Darpan”, written by Kartar Singh, Director, Gurmat Sangeet Academy, was also released. — TNS
