PM Modi paying a tribute to Guru Teg BahadurPrime Minister Narendra Modi made a surprise visit to the Gurudwara Rakabganj in Delhi on Sunday early morning and paid tributes to Guru Teg Bahadur for his supreme sacrifice.
People of the Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee were surprised to see Modi present in the premises. There was neither any security, nor barricading arrangements made on the roads during the Prime Minister's unscheduled visit.
PM Modi's visit to the Gurudwara comes a day after the ninth Sikh Guru's death anniversary was observed on Saturday.
Sources say that during PM Modi's visit, special care was taken so that the common man does not face any inconvenience because on Sunday, the number of people visiting the Gurudwara is quite high. That is why there was no such high-level security as is usually the case, sources say.
Guru Teg Bahadur sacrificed his life to protect religion and humanity. His martyrdom is remembered every year as Martyr's Day. On Saturday, the whole country observed Guru Teg Bahadur's Martyrdom Day. Guru Tegh Bahadur preached Sikhism during the 17th century.
