SGPC chief Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami has extended greetings to the Sikh Sangat on Bandi Chhor Divas. He said that this sacred occasion gives a message of freedom, welfare and upholding truth for all humanity.

During his address, Harjinder Singh Dhami recalled that the freeing of 52 kings from Gwalior jail by the Sixth Patshah is an incomparable example of benevolence and justice across the world. He emphasized that this day is not limited to self-sovereignty alone, but is a major inspiration for standing up for the rights of others.

The SGPC president appealed to the people to connect with Gurbani and Simran by following the path shown by the Guru Sahibs. He said that along with external illumination, every human being should also brighten their inner self through Gurmat thoughts.

Meanwhile, on November 8 at 5 PM, acting Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Kuldeep Singh Garhgaj will address and interact with the community from Darshani Deori of Sri Harmandir Sahib.
