Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday urged the SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal to join hands with the State Government to make the celebration of the 550th parkash purb of Guru Nanak Dev a grand success.
Capt Amarinder urged Longowal, during a brief meeting when the latter had called on him at his residence to extend an invitation for the celebrations being launched by the SGPC on Nov 23, that the SGPC should also be a part of the celebrations being planned by the Government in a mega scale, as befitting the historic occasion.
The commemoration of the event is a lifetime opportunity for all, cutting across political, social and religious lines, to get together to espouse the cause and principles scripted by the first Sikh Guru, said the Chief Minister, who was accompanied by Cabinet Ministers Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Vijay Inder Singla, besides Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar.
It calls for collective and active participation of one and all, in the spirit of harmony that the Guru has prompted, Capt Amarinder added.
