President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif have extended their warmest wishes to the Sikh community, both in Pakistan and worldwide, on the 556th birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, celebrated in Nankana Shahid today. This significant day marks the birth of the revered founder of Sikhism, whose teachings and legacy continue to inspire and guide people globally.
In their separate messages, the leaders emphasized the timeless and universal nature of Guru Nanak's teachings. They highlighted his role as a messenger of peace, tolerance, and equality, emphasizing the importance of love for humanity, selfless service, and harmony among people of all faiths. These principles, they noted, remain as relevant today as they were during Guru Nanak's lifetime.
Pakistan, they proudly stated, is home to several sacred Gurdwaras linked to the life of Guru Nanak. This connection further reinforces the country's commitment to protecting the rights of all religious minorities and preserving and facilitating access to Sikh places of worship. The leaders pledged to uphold these values and ensure the Sikh community's continued prosperity and well-being in Pakistan and beyond.
