The Sports and Education Minister Pargat Singh said that Sri Kartarpur Sahib is that hallowed and sacred place where the first Sikh Guru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji spent the last years of his life and undertook farming to give message of KIRT KARO, NAAM JAPO and WAND CHHAKO. From here, the Great Guru Sahiban preached the message of following the principles of humility, unity, peace and welfare. This corridor is a symbol of love, harmony and peace. He expressed hope that the corridor would prove to be instrumental in executing the philosophy of Guru Sahib.
The Forests and Wildlife Minister Sangat Singh Gilzian added that he considers himself very fortunate to be a part of the Sangat going with the jatha.
