the 350th martyrdom anniversary of the ninth Guru Ji

DGMC should bring everyone together on one platform: Paramjit Singh Virji

New Delhi: 5th August 2025:(Manpreet Singh Khalsa//The Punjab Screen Desk)::

The Delhi Gurdwara Committee Management, who is surrounded by only three or four of their men, should have taken the religious, political, Nihang organizations, Taksals and federations of the entire Sikh Panth to create a common platform to celebrate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of the ninth Guru Ji on a global scale. 

Sardar Paramjit Singh Virji, head of Gurubani Research Foundation and former co-chairman of the Dharam Prachar Wing of Delhi Committee, said in a press note issued to the media that this centenary celebration is not of the Delhi Committee alone but of the entire Panth and therefore there is a dire need for a large-scale publicity about the "martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji" so that the world can know that the ninth king laid down his head to protect the "Tilak and Janjhu" and his three younger Sikhs also accepted the punishment of martyrdom by not accepting the injunction of the Mughals. 

But today, Sikhs are repeatedly made to feel that they are second-class citizens in the country. Sometimes there are restrictions on the children who are giving papers, sometimes there is harassment of Sikh youth working at the airport, sometimes there is tampering with Sikh history, sometimes there is desecration of turbans and Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and the perpetrators of serious crimes like Ram Rahim and Asaram are repeatedly granted parole. Not even considering the issues of Sikh prisoners. 

Will the Delhi Committee organizers raise the serious issues of the Sikhs before the PM and Home Minister of the country who will be present at the centenary celebrations or will they just formally organize a function and take their revenge? 

The Delhi Committee should have made preparations for the centenary celebrations three months in advance, but their inexperience in every matter only brings shame to the nation. The Gurus were martyred in Delhi, so this ceremony should be celebrated on a large scale in Delhi, but it is not right for the committee president to formally write a letter to the SGPC and take revenge. 

It was his duty to personally meet the SGPC president, Takht Hazur Sahib Committee, Takht Patna Sahib Committee and request them, but since he is surrounded by three or four people, his thinking has also remained with him.
