Shiromani Akali Dal will hold Akhand Path and Ardas at Shri Harmandir Sahib complex in the memory of the late Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh Ji for peace to the departed soul. Transcending political divisions and considerations,
acknowledges, values and respects the extraordinary services which the late Prime Minister rendered to the nation and the pride he brought to Sikh quom all over the world. Dr Sahib and late S Parkash Singh Badal shared a special emotional bond and a vision for peace, communal harmony and development. The SAD MP
today personally conveyed the party’s humble wish and decision in this regard to Sardarni Gursharan Kaur ji while conveying her own and the party’s respects and condolences to the late PM’s family. Dates will be announced soon in consultation with the family & the SGPC. Also, the SAD will request the
for the installation of his portrait in the Sikh Museum situated at Darbar Sahib complex. Notably, Dr Manmohan Singh Ji's father had gone to jail during the Morcha that led to the setting up of the SGPC. Dr Sahib remained a member of the All India Sikh Student Federation as well. When the Congress sought to split SGPC by setting up a separate committee in Haryana, I accompanied Badal sahib to request Dr Sahib to intervene against it. I can’t forget his response as he said: “I understand the importance of the SGPC as my father had also gone to jail for the formation of this Sikh institution.”
