Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare the 550th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev as National Tolerance Day.

The Chief Minister has written a letter to the Prime Minister seeking that the auspicious day be declared National Tolerance Day for the re-dedication of people to Guru Nanak’s message of love, compassion and tolerance.

Since the teachings of Guru Nanak are as relevant today as they were in his times, the 550th Parkash Utsav of Guru Nanak, to be observed on November 12 this year, should be declared as National Tolerance Day as a befitting tribute to the great master, said the Chief Minister. He suggested that the birth anniversary of the first Guru be observed in this manner every year thereafter.

The Chief Minister said Guru Nanak, during his lifetime, travelled far and wide, spreading the message of inclusion and tolerance, besides setting up a unique spiritual and social platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness and virtue.
