Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid a surprise visit to the Gurudwara Rakabganj in Delhi on Sunday early morning and paid tributes to Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth of ten Sikh gurus, whose death anniversary was observed Saturday.
Like a common devote he moved in the gurudwara and surprised everyone by his visit which took people there by surprise.
Sources say that during Modi's visit, special care was taken so that Sunday devotees did not face any problems. The number of devotees in the gurdwara is high on Sundays.
Modi's sudden visit comes amid the snowballing protests organised by the farmers of Punjab in the national capital, which may be seen as a move to placate them. However, the BJP leaders say that Modi's visit is a matter of pure faith and should not be seen from any other perspective.
Guru Teg Bahadur, who lived in the 17th century, sacrificed his life for religious freedom. His death anniversary is observed every year as Martyr's Day in India. Source: https://southasiamonitor.org
