SAD bats for Manmohan’s portrait at Sikh Museum

The SAD has announced that it will request the SGPC to install a portrait of late Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the Sikh Museum at the Darbar Sahib complex.

The party will also hold an ‘Akhand Path’ and ‘Ardas’ at Shri Harmandir Sahib for peace to the departed soul.

Party president Sukhbir Singh Badal announced that transcending political divisions, the SAD acknowledged, valued and respected the extraordinary services which the late Prime Minister rendered to the nation and the pride he brought to the Sikh community.

“Dr Sahib and late Parkash Singh Badal shared a special emotional bond and a vision for peace, communal harmony and development. Bathinda’s SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal today personally conveyed the party’s humble wish and decision in this regard to Gursharan Kaur, widow of the late PM, while conveying her own and the party’s condolences to the family. Dates will be announced soon in consultation with the family and the SGPC.”
