A collective prayer was held at the Akal Takht Sahib to remember those who lost their lives during the partition. The event also demanded the release of detained Sikhs.
A solemn gathering took place at the revered Akal Takht Sahib in Amritsar, where a collective prayer, known as ardas, was held to commemorate the lives lost during the partition of India. This poignant event served as a reminder of the immense human cost of the partition, which resulted in the displacement of thousands of families and the loss of countless lives. The speaker, Jathedar Gargaj, highlighted the suffering endured by the people during this tumultuous period, referencing the book 'Punjab Ka Ujada' by Giani Sohan Singh Sheetal, which chronicles the devastation faced by Punjab during the partition.
