US Congress recognises Vaisakhi as Creation of Khalsa

Washington (DC), April 06 (ANI): In a resolution submitted by Congressmen John Garamendi and Patrick Meehan, the house of representatives on Wednesday recongnised the Sikh festival, Vaisakhi as the creation of Khalsa in 1699. As the hate crime against the Sikh community is increasing, such move can create awareness among the people to control such incidents. The resolution mentioned Vaisakhi as an annual festival which celebrates the spring harvest season, and is considered as one of the most important dates in the Sikh history.
