He also mentioned "It is the special Kripa of the Guru Sahibs that we will mark the special occasion of the 400th Parkash Parv of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji during our Government's tenure."

He also said that let's mark this occasion in a historic way and celebrate the ideals of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji.

This isn't the only time when PM Modi has visited the Gurudwara. He had earlier paid his tribute during Shaheedi Diwas here as well.

Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s life epitomised courage and compassion.

On his Shaheedi Diwas, I bow to the great Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and recall his vision for a just and inclusive society.

When thousands of farmers are protesting against the farm laws & the leaders are feeling a bit direction less & helpless, divine intervention is the only hope.

— Girish Arora (@AroraGirish) December 20, 2020

Hope he'll get his act together and repeal the laws. Our farmers have sacrificed their lives in this protest and pm haven't said a word on it. Does he remember visiting gurudwara but not pay a visit to the farmers protesting.#FarmersProstest #FarmActsAreUnconstitutional
