Happy Vaisakhi from Rachna Singh, MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers
On behalf of B.C.’s New Democrats, I’d like to wish a Happy Vaisakhi to Sikhs and Hindus in B.C. and around the world. A time for celebrating the values of tolerance, equality and generosity, Vaisakhi has always been one of my favorite celebrations.
Statement by the Prime Minister on Vaisakhi
“The holiest day of the year for the Sikh community, Vaisakhi celebrates the creation of the community of the baptized Sikhs, known as the Khalsa Panth, by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699.
Statement from the National Police Federation on Sikh Heritage Month
“The National Police Federation joins all Canadians in commemorating Sikh Heritage Month. We express gratitude for the many contributions Sikh Canadians have made to Canada, as well as to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Thoughts on Vaisakhi: Guru Gobind Singh Jee
The creation of the Khalsa was a revolutionary event in the religious and political history of India. It was the beginning of the rise of saint-soldiers who stood against tyranny of the Muslim rulers and high caste Hindus.
