Describing the 400th Prakash Purb of the Ninth Sikh Guru, scheduled to take place in April 2021, as a fortunate occasion for all, Captain Amarinder said that the Great Guru occupies a special place in the country’s history. He had sacrificed his life to uphold the principles of religious freedom and amity and was, therefore, rightfully called as ‘Hind di Chaadar’, he added.
