The CM donned a Sikh turban for the event while visiting the Gurudwara shrine made on the venue and met Sikh community leaders. \"Persons of all faiths had gathered for the event as it was a celebration of humanity. We had especially invited noted kirtankaar and performers from Punjab and Delhi for the cultural programmes,\" said an organizer. \"The performances gave a glimpse of Sikh history and told the tales of gurus and struggles.\" \"While young performers enthralled with their Gatka (Sikh martial art) demonstration, audience was mesmerized with Saheb-e-Kamaal performance by Patiala Rangmanch,\" he added.
