Fatehgarh Sahib. November.21, 2019: Jathedar Akal Takhat Sahib Giani Harpreet Singh has made a passionate appeal to Sikh Sangat to shun pump and show and all types of extravagance while solemnising the matrimonial functions and bhogs rather perform with complete simplicity as per the Maryada enshrined in Gurbani, so that the increasing trend of suicides may be curbed as mostly the people get huge loans for this purpose and when they are unable to pay they commit suicide. He was talking to the media persons at village Panjoli Kalan today, where he has come to bless the newly wedded couples, who solemnised their marriages in a complete simplicity without giving or accepting any Shagun and partook langer after performing "Anand Karaj".
He urged the State Government and SGPC to make arrangements for the transportation of Sangat from Dera Baba Nank to Indian terminal which is approximately 2KM as the devotees visting Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara in Pakistan have to walk this distance at present.
He appealed to Union Govt. to take up the issue to waive the condition of the passport and 20 dollar fee with Pakistan Government, so that even a common man could pay obeisance att Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara.
He urged the State Government and SGPC to make arrangements in all the schools and colleges of the State to educate the students about the supreme sacrifices of Mata Gujri Ji and all the Four Sahibjadas of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, so that the coming generation may know about their rich heritage.
