New Delhi, June 17, 2025 (ANI): BJP leader RP Singh backed Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s announcement of halting Sikh pilgrimage to Pakistan amidst diplomatic tensions . "It is a very welcome step by SGPC. They have stood by the nation. For them, the nation comes first, then anything else. We can go next year or in the coming years. This year, since there has been Operation Sindoor and Pakistan keeps sending terrorists to the country, how can we have a good relationship with them?.. So, it is a welcome step by SGPC", he said in a statement . BJP leader RP Singh highlighted Prime Minister Modi’s work done for the development of Sikh community, as Pro-Khalistani group staged an ant-India protest ahead of G7 summit in Canada. "The comment of Damdami Taksal reflects the mood of the Sikhs and Sikh culture. Sikhism is rooted in compassion and dignity. The children who were doing the act there, probably are not aware of what PM Modi has done for Sikhs", he said in a statement
00:00Well, it's a very welcome step by SDPC and they have stood by the nation and for them nation is first than anything else.
00:07And we can go next year or any coming years, but this year since there have been operations in Door and since Pakistan keeps sending terrorists to the country.
00:17So how can we have a good relationship with them? So it's a very welcome step by SDPC and they have stood by the nation.
00:23The point of Damdami Gaksal reflects the mood of the Sikhs and the Sikh culture. Sikhism is rooted in compassion and dignity.
00:35Children who are doing the act there, probably they are not aware of what Prime Minister Modi has done for Sikhs.
00:43They were being fed by their parents and then that's why they came and did what they did in Canada.
00:50But their parents are not aware or they don't want to understand this, that Prime Minister Modi has opened up the Katharpur corridor for Sikhs, for which Sikhs used to pray every day.
01:05Every day a Sikh pray that we should get a freeway to our Gurdwaras in Pakistan.
01:10Also, that all those who were accused in 1984 have been now given punishment.
01:20Also, that the victims of 1984 have been taken care of by this government.
01:27So probably they are not aware or they don't want to look into this path of the Sikh government,
01:36where government has been very compassionate with Sikh issues and subject.
01:40Sir, PM Modi has done a lot for our Sikh community.
01:44Whatever was not done in last 70 years, PM Modi has done it.
01:48Well, that's what I said, that Prime Minister Modi has done a lot for Sikh community.
01:53What could not have been done in the last 70 years has been done by Prime Minister Modi.
01:56Whether it is the Shahidi bal divas of the children of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, whether it is the giving away the GST imposed on the langar of Gurdwaras.
02:11So, Prime Minister Modi has been ongoingly working on the issues of Sikhs and has been very compassionate on the Sikhs issues.
02:21But yes, there are certain handful of them in Canada who think that they can get Kharistan and they can probably get some media attention by doing so.
