Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Gurpurab celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev Ji at Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib in Gujarat's Kutch on Saturday (25 December) at around 12.30 pm via video conferencing, an official release said on Friday (24 December).
Every year from 23rd December to 25th December, Sikh Sangat of Gujarat celebrate the Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji at Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.
Guru Nanak Dev ji had stayed at Lakhpat during the course of his travels, the PMO noted.
Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib has his relics including wooden footwear and palkhi (cradle) as well as manuscripts and markings scripts of Gurmukhi, it added.
The PMO noted that the Gurudwara had suffered damages during the 2001 earthquake and the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, had undertaken urgent efforts to ensure repair of the damages.
"This step showed the deep reverence of the Prime Minister for the faith, as also reflected in multiple recent endeavours, including the celebrations of 550th Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, 350th Parkash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and 400th Parkash Purab of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji," the PMO said.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
