Today I met with the family and attended the Antim Ardas of Sardar Gurwinder Singh, who tragically passed away in Sangrur jail under mysterious circumstances. I call for a thorough probe on this matter followed by a swift action. Government should be held to account and not allowed to brush this aside.
ਅੱਜ ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹਾ ਤਰਨ ਤਾਰਨ ਦੇ ਪਿੰਡ ਨੋਸਿਹਰਾ ਪੰਨੂਆਂ ਵਿਖੇ ਸ੍ਰ ਗੁਰਵਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੋ ਸੰਗਰੂਰ ਦੀ ਜੇਲ੍ਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੰਦ ਸੀ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਦਿਨੀਂ ਉਸਦੀ ਸ਼ੱਕੀ ਹਾਲਾਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੌਤ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਅੱਜ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਅੰਤਿਮ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਮੌਕੇ ਹਾਜਰੀ ਲਗਵਾਈ। ਇਸ ਮਸਲੇ ਦੀ ਜਲਦ ਤੋਂ ਜਲਦ ਜਾਂਚ ਤੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਹੋਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ।
Sardar Diljit Singh Dosanjh has always carried his Sikh identity with pride and is one such artist who has portrayed Sikhi, Panjabi and Gurmukhi with grace on international stages.
Sardar Dosanjh, through his movies ‘Punjab 1984’ and ‘Panjab 95’ has profoundly depicted Panjab’s genøcide and plight. Most recently Sardar Dosanjh carried his Sikh identity with pride on global stage at Met Gala which was subject of great appreciation.
The targeting of Sardar Dosanjh is a veiled attack on his identity, Sikhi, Panjabi and Gurmukhi that he proudly carries on world stage because casting in film is a matter for producers of the film and not actor’s. Movies are part of art and showbiz and should not be made a subject of petty politics.
@SAD_Amritsar firmly stands in support of Sardar Diljit Singh Dosanjh and appeals all Panjabis worldwide for the same.

21st June was celebrated as ‘International Gatka Day’ at historic Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib.
We hope this small endeavour will help keep the legacy of Sikh martial art ‘Gatka’ alive for generations to come.
As the Indo-Pak conflict subsides and relations between two nations move towards normalcy there remains no reason to keep the historic Kartarpur Sahib Corridor shut.
In addition to holding great religious significance for the Sikh nation, the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor is also a corridor of peace between India and Pakistan and I appeal to both the governments to reopen without further delay.

@SimranjitSADA@SAD_Amritsar@POTUS@realDonaldTrump Whether Trump get it or not but well done Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann for attempting to forge Sikhs’ relations as a separate entity with the world powers clearly sending a signal we aren’t to be clubbed with Indians but instead are a different nation striving for sovereignty.
