LUCKNOW: Observing that the Sikh community has a glorious history, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said, "Yet we hear that only a handful of Sikh families remain in Kabul."

He also called for drawing a beautification plan for Lucknow gurdwaras associated with the visit of Sikh Gurus.

Addressing the main event of Veer Bal Diwas (Sahibzada Diwas) held at the chief minister's residence, he said, "Incidents in Bangladesh and atrocities in Pakistan remind us of the sacrifices of the Sikh Gurus."

"The ideals of the Sikh Gurus provide us with the energy to move forward.

Their blessings serve as our inspiration. By carrying forward their legacy, we can prevent situations like those in Kabul and Bangladesh. Places like Nankana Sahib will come to us naturally, without the need for agitation or struggle," he added.

The event also saw the commencement of 11,000 Sahaj Paaths. Additionally, the chief minister released a book based on the teachings of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
