New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): Vikramjit Singh Sahney, International President of the World Punjabi Organisation and Rajya Sabha MP, on Monday condemned the alleged act of young Jatt children kicking posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a post on social media platform X, Sahney shared a video reportedly from Canada showing young children kicking a truck bearing images of PM Modi, calling it “unfortunate” that such tender, innocent minds were being filled with hate instead of hope.
He further stated in his post that children should be instilled with the moral values emphasized by Guru Sahib. “As International President of the World Punjabi Organisation, I strongly condemn this act. It is deeply unfortunate when young, tender, and innocent minds are fed with hate instead of hope. Let us imbibe in our children the moral values emphasized by our Guru Sahib, and that is ‘Jab Tak Duniya Rahiye, Nanak Kuch Suniye, Kuch Kahiye.’ The solution to all issues lies in dialogue,” the post read.
Sahney also highlighted that under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India has made several decisions supporting Sikh sentiments, including the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor and the development of the Hemkunt Sahib ropeway.
“Let’s also not forget the Government of India’s various decisions under PM Modi’s leadership like opening of the Kartarpur Corridor, Hemkunt Sahib Ropeway, setting up SITs for 1984 anti-Sikh genocide victims, slashing of blacklisting and visa restrictions for overseas Sikhs who were wrongly barred, granting FCRA registration to Sri Darbar Sahib enabling global Sangat to do Seva, waiving GST on langar items, celebrating the 550th Prakash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and the 400th of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji on a large scale. These are some positive and constructive gestures towards Sikh sentiments,” Sahney stated.
Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa also condemned the alleged act in a post on X, expressing deep disappointment and calling the incident “unlike-Sikh” behavior directed at a leader who has consistently supported Sikh values.
“Every Sikh is deeply disturbed and ashamed to see this unlike-Sikh incident in Canada, where children are inflicting such hatred. And that too against a leader who has consistently shown deep respect for the ethos of Sikhism. What we are witnessing is not the spirit of Sikhism but the influence of some individuals with dangerous agendas. These aren’t true representatives of our faith; they appear to be ISI-influenced agents who aren’t shying away from radicalizing youth or children. They are promoting hate, with a sinister goal of isolating Sikhs globally and tarnishing our reputation. We condemn this behavior in the strongest possible terms. It is time for all Sikhs, especially those in the diaspora, to stand up against this distortion of our identity and teachings,” his post read.
Sirsa added that Sikhs in India remain grateful to Prime Minister Modi for his many contributions to the community.
“Sikhs in India are ever grateful to Modi Ji for all that he has done for the community—from the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor to celebrating Guru Purabs with such devotion and commemorating the heroic deeds of Sahibzades. He is the one who organized the historic celebration at the Red Fort. He is the one who ensured the safe return of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from Afghanistan. He is the one who understood the pain of the 1984 genocide and ensured justice for the victim families,” he wrote. (ANI)
