Senior congress leader greets people on Baisakhi

SRINAGAR (PTK) Senior congress leader and former MLA Devsar Haji Mohammed Amin Bhat greeted people on the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi.

The leader observed that Baisakhi, which marks the beginning of the New Year in the Indian Calendar, has a special significance for the people of Northern India, particularly for the Sikh community as the Khalsa Panth was born on this day.

“In the Northern States, Baisakhi also marks the commencement of the harvesting season, when farmers reap the fruit of their hard work,” he said and observed that the celebration of this festival is a shining example of our glorious pluralistic traditions.

Bhat prayed for peace, harmony, brotherhood, progress and prosperity in the union territory

In his message, bhat said Baisakhi symbolizes harvesting of the hard labour and celebrating it with harmony and brotherhood adds colour to its festivity.

He said festivals like Baisakhi strengthen the bonds of love among people and nurture amity and harmony.
