Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday joined the 'Sangat' in a 'Kirtan Darbar' at a gurdwara in Srinagar organised by the state government to mark the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The 'Sangat' was held at Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a gathering, Kejriwal exhorted the people to follow Guru Ji's universal message of love, secularism, religious tolerance, freedom of faith and peaceful co-existence.

Terming it an occasion to spread the message of Guru Sahib's supreme sacrifice for the sake of humanity and religious freedom, he said that the life and philosophy of the ninth Sikh Guru remain a beacon of inspiration for the world, according to a government statement.

Kejriwal said the Punjab government had made elaborate arrangements to commemorate this mega event in a befitting manner.

He said Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib made the supreme sacrifice to protect the religious rights of humanity and set an example for the world.

He called upon the people to follow the path of righteousness in the true tradition of humanity, as propagated by the Guru Sahib.

CM Mann said Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice for the protection of faith and righteousness transformed the course of India's history.
