Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to meet President Droupadi Murmu to invite her to the upcoming commemoration of the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.

The meeting is set to take place at Rashtrapati Bhavan at noon.

In a move to encourage broader participation, the Punjab government has also extended invitations to the Chief Ministers of all states to participate in this historic event, aiming to ensure wider representation and engagement from across the country.

Earlier on Saturday, Chief Minister Mann, along with Aam Aadmi Party National Convener Arvind Kejriwal, attended a Kirtan Darbar organised by the Punjab government as part of a series of events to mark the 350th martyrdom day of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister said that to commemorate Guru Sahib's martyrdom day, the Punjab Government is organising events across various states. He said that events begin today at Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib, and a grand Kirtan Darbar is being organised at Gurdwara Sri Rakab Ganj Sahib.

Bhagwant Singh Mann said that from November 1 to November 18, light-and-sound shows will take place across all districts of Punjab, showcasing the life and philosophy of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.

The Chief Minister said that Kirtan darbars will be organised in towns and cities sanctified by Guru sahib's visits, and on November 18, a Kirtan Darbar will be held in Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir), followed by a Nagar Kirtan on November 19 in which hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits will participate.

He said that on November 20, three Nagar Kirtans will be organised from Takht Sri Damdama Sahib (Talwandi Sabo), Faridkot, and Gurdaspur, adding that all four Nagar Kirtans will culminate at Sri Anandpur Sahib on November 22. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that from November 23 to 25, large-scale events will be held in Sri Anandpur Sahib.

I'm glad to see the government organizing events across multiple states. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's message of religious tolerance is especially relevant today. The inclusion of Kashmiri Pandits in the Nagar Kirtan shows true secular spirit.

While I appreciate the gesture, I hope this isn't just political symbolism. The real tribute would be to actually implement Guru Ji's teachings of equality and protection of minority rights in our daily governance. Actions speak louder than ceremonies.

The light-and-sound shows across Punjab districts will be a great way to educate our youth about Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's sacrifice. More such initiatives are needed to preserve our rich cultural heritage. 👏
