In a message, the Governor said Guru Gobind Singh was a warrior, poet and a philosopher who strived for building a society based on equality, brotherhood and respect for women.
He said the values underlying the teachings of the great Guru should guide our endeavours to establish a just social order.
The Governor expressed hope that this auspicious occasion would usher in peace, progress and prosperity in the state, and would further strengthen the bonds of communal harmony, brotherhood and the secular traditions which have been the hallmark of the glorious heritage and composite ethos of Jammu and Kashmir for the past centuries.
