He said that Punjab\u2019s culture is rooted in mutual respect and religious harmony, and no one should make derogatory remarks about the faith and religious sentiments of millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">Reacting to Gandhi\u2019s description of various religious programmes organised by the Punjab Government as &#8220;religious ostentation&#8221;, Bali said that such programmes are organised to honour the great spiritual and cultural heritage of Punjab and to pass the values and teachings of religious figures on to the younger generation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">He said the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib was commemorated because his unparalleled sacrifice continues to inspire the present generation with the values of courage, righteousness and standing up for the rights of others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">Similarly, he said, celebrations marking the 650th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidas Maharaj are being organised through Shobha Yatras, drone shows, documentary screenings in villages and Kirtan Samagams. \u201cCalling all these programmes \u2018ostentation\u2019 (\u0a05\u0a21\u0a70\u0a2c\u0a30) is not merely a criticism of the government; it hurts the sentiments of millions of devotees,\u201d Bali said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">Bali also defended programmes celebrating Sanatan traditions, including &#8216;Ek Shaam Bhagwan Shiv Ke Naam&#8217; and &#8216;Hamare Ram&#8217;, saying that thousands of people participate in such events with devotion and faith. He said the government respects the religious beliefs of every community and will continue to organise programmes that celebrate Punjab\u2019s diverse spiritual and religious traditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">Referring to the &#8216;Hamare Ram&#8217; programme, Bali said that it is a presentation of the Ramayana that depicts its various chapters and conveys important values, including respect for parents and obedience to one\u2019s duties. He said that questioning such programmes or suggesting that temples should not be built amounted to hurting the sentiments of millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">Bali questioned the silence of Congress leaders over Gandhi\u2019s remarks and alleged that such statements reflect the Congress party\u2019s attempt to divide Punjab along religious lines. He also criticised Congress leader Deepender Hooda over his remarks describing Sajjan Kumar as a role model. Bali said that maybe that is the true stand of the Congress leaders, idolising the people who murdered innocent people and hurting the religious sentiments of the people through their irresponsible statements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">\u201cThe people of Punjab have placed their trust in the Bhagwant Mann government. We will continue organising programmes that celebrate Punjab\u2019s religious and cultural heritage. No individual\u2019s remarks can stop us from doing so,\u201d Bali said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-originalfontsize=\"15px\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"15\">He asserted that the AAP government would continue to promote Punjab\u2019s rich cultural and religious traditions and said that even larger programmes would be organised when the party returns to power in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Punjab Is the Land of Five Rivers; We Respect Every Religion and Will
