Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra and Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today greeted the people on the eve of the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru.
In his message, the governor observed that Guru Gobind Singh was a warrior, poet and philosopher who strove for the building of a society based on equality, brotherhood and respect for women.
The values underlying the teachings of the great Guru should guide our endeavours for establishing a just social order, he said.
Vohra prayed for the well-being of the people of the state and expressed hope that the auspicious occasion would push J-K towards peace, progress and prosperity and further strengthen the bonds of harmony and brotherhood and reinvigorate the secular traditions which have been the hallmark of the glorious heritage and composite ethos of J-K.
Chief Minister Sayeed, for his part, observed that Guru Gobind Singh was an apostle of peace, compassion and love.
"The teachings of the great Guru will continue to inspire future generations. Let us take a pledge to embrace the path of service to mankind and work towards laying the edifice of a just and equitable society," said Sayeed, who is admitted at AIIMS in Delhi with a health problem.
The Chief Minister expressed hope that the auspicious occasion would be a harbinger of peace, progress and prosperity in the state and further strengthen the bonds of harmony and brotherhood.
Meanwhile, PDP President and MP Mehbooba Mufti, too, greeted the people of J-K ahead of the occasion and said that the life and teachings of Guru Gobind Singh would continue to be an inspiration.
She urged the people to follow the path shown by the great Guru and work towards establishing a just order that is free from all kinds of social evils. She expressed hope that the occasion would bring peace and prosperity and further bolster the secular traditions which have been the unique feature of J&K's glorious past.
