The state government and the SGPC have decided to jointly celebrate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev under the patronage of Akal Takht.
The decision was taken after a delegation comprising Tourism and Culture Affairs Minister Charanjeet Singh Channi, Medical Education and Research Minister OP Soni and Cooperative Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa held a meeting with Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh and SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal at the SGPC office here today.
The Jathedar, while welcoming the move of the Capt Amarinder Singh government, said it was overwhelming that all sections were burying their differences to jointly celebrate the historic Gurpurb.
