Gupta arrived at the Golden Temple on November 21 along with his wife, Madhu Gupta, and other family members. They walked quietly through the complex and spent time inside the sanctum, where they prayed for the well-being of all Punjabis. He repeated that his spiritual visit strengthened his resolve to serve people with sincerity.

Moreover, Gupta and his wife performed sewa at the community kitchen. They cleaned utensils in the langar area and interacted with volunteers. He said sewa helps him stay grounded and reminds him of the Sikh values of equality and humility.

The visit carried emotional significance for the MP, who expressed deep respect for the Sikh faith and its teachings. As Rajinder Gupta visits Golden Temple, he emphasised unity, compassion, and collective progress.

The Puri family has preserved these relics for over 300 years. They include a footwear each of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (11″ x 3½”) and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji (9″ x 3″). Guru Sahib himself blessed the family with this seva. Now the family wants to share the relics with the sangat.

Hardeep Puri, as the eldest member, took the lead. He formed a committee with Sikh leaders and presented their recommendations to the Prime Minister. The Ministry of Culture examined the relics, and carbon testing confirmed their authenticity.

PM Modi has always supported Sikh heritage and its preservation. With his guidance, the Jore Sahib relics will be displayed with dignity. This step will allow devotees to connect deeply with the blessings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.

Acting Jathedar Kuldip Singh Gargaj summoned both Zafar and Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains to explain their roles. Bains appeared on August 6 and accepted tankhah (religious punishment) from the Sikh high priests.

Zafar was abroad during that hearing. After returning, he submitted an eight-page reply on August 14. When he appeared before the Takht, Zafar said he respected the authority of Sikh leaders. He also declared that he was ready to undergo any form of tankhah announced.

The case underlines the influence of Sikh religious institutions in Punjab’s social and political life. By submitting before the Takht, both leaders showed respect for Sikh sentiments. Officials in Punjab often face scrutiny when government events conflict with religious traditions.

This episode highlights how cultural programmes can quickly turn into matters of faith. It also shows that leaders still seek legitimacy and acceptance through Sikh institutions. The Akal Takht’s role remains strong in shaping public accountability in Punjab.
