Their daily ardas for ‘khulle darshan-deedaar’ of sacred shrines that remain in post-Partition Pakistan, was ultimately acknowledged. It was an element of even more absolute delights that it coincided with the 550th Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji”.
He stated the State Government and all its agencies, including Punjab Police, served with great dedication and engagement to happily observe the historic event. “As the State DGP, I assure that we will continue to attempt to work towards promoting trouble-free access to the sacred shrine of Sri Kartarpur Sahib, he said.
Gupta also stated that, as the DGP of the state, which is faced with enduring battle fronting severe extremism that remains to be financed and sustained from across the border.
“I only red-flagged the obvious ‘potential’ for abuse by elements infamous for their hostility towards India and their attempt to exploit every opportunity, even the most religious one, to disrupt reconciliation and collective harmony”, he said.
Gupta additionally stated that his remarks at the Indian Express event rigorously concerned to the security and safety of Punjab and India. There was unquestionably no reference to any denomination, religion or community, but it was just merely that some anti-national components based in antagonistic neighbourhood could abuse and exploit this occasion and, therefore, “we” need to be observant and vigilant to such possible threats in the concern of peace and security of the people of the State, who, he asserted, had previously experienced a lot in the past at the hands of terrorism supported by our neighbour.
The DGP stated that he was personally there when the first pilgrim passed the boundary at Dera Baba Nanak, to tour Sri Kartarpur Sahib in November 2019. Since the opening of the corridor in the past four months, the Punjab Police has promoted more than 51,000 devotees. We will continue to ensure this.
