He said that It was a lifetime opportunity for him and his fellow team members to pay obeisance at a place Guru Nanak Dev ji spent his last days of life doing farming.
He said that it is all due to effort of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that this Kartarpur Sahib corridor has been established. He said that though one need visas to visit any other country but for paying obeisance at place of Guru Nanak Dev ji no visa is required. He said that he prayed for well-being of all citizens of the country, peace and progress of the country and for good relations between both the countries.
He said that Guru Sahib gave us ideal of kirat karo, nam japo ate wand Chhako (means work with hands, recite name of almighty and share your earnings) and we are pursuing that ideal in life.
He said that paying obeisance at Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib Sri Kartarpur Sahib is a dream of every Sikh and it is our Prime Minister Narendra Modi who understood how important is this pious place for Sikh community and his government created idea of Kartarpur Sahib corridor and this plan was implemented many years after Independence of the nation.
