Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Sikh community embodied the ideals of “ Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat” (One India, Great India) and had been a strong link in relations between India and other countries.
Addressing a Sikh delegation at his official residence in New Delhi in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Mr. Modi said the entire country felt grateful to Sikhs for their contributions in the freedom struggle as well as in the post-independence era. The delegation comprised Sikhs of different walks of life.
The new India was touching new dimensions and leaving its mark on the whole world, Mr. Modi said, adding that the period of the coronavirus pandemic was the biggest example of this.
