SUKHBIR GREETS PEOPLE ON THE EVE OF BAISAKHI
Chandigarh :-
Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Punjab today felicitated the people of the Punjab on the eve of Baisakhi.
In a message Mr. Badal said that this festival has a great
significance for the farmers of Punjab as this day traditionally marks
the beginning of harvest of Rabi crops, on a joyous note. This harvest
festival is indeed an occasion for them to rejoice over their fruits of
toil and for all of us to acknowledge Punjabi farmers' contribution in
making India self-sufficient on the front of food security.
Mr. Badal said that this festival has a great religious
significance for Sikhs as on this day in the year 1699 at Sri Anandpur
Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh ji established Khalsa Panth, a body of people
dedicated to the principles of truth, justice, and equality; the
cardinal principles of Sikh faith.
The Deputy Chief
Minister said that the massacre of hundreds of innocent Punjabis by the
British at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar on this day in the year 1919
proved as the last nail in the coffin of British rule in India.
Mr. Badal called upon people to celebrate this festival
collectively and utilize this day to pay our gratitude to all those
known and unknown freedom fighters, who laid their lives so that we all
can breathe in freedom. Let us also acknowledge the contribution of
humble farmers who are working day and night to feed the nation, Mr.
Badal added.
