Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj urges NEP analysis for Punjab

On the last day of Hola Mohalla, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, acting jathedar of Akal Takht, urged the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to analyze the New Education Policy. He emphasized the need for reforms that protect the Punjabi language and Gurmukhi. Gargaj raised concerns about the NEP's impact on the Sikh community and called for parents to ensure their children learn Gurmukhi from an early age. He announced a religious awareness campaign for Vaisakhi to promote unity among Sikhs. He also criticized the Punjab government for inaction regarding the 2017 Maur Mandi bomb blast, which killed seven people. Gargaj warned against efforts to create divisions within the Sikh community, which he believes lead to increased government interference in gurdwaras.
