Addressing the Press Conference today, Ms. Paramjeet Kaur N
Chabra, Director of Gujarat Minorities Finance and Development Corporation
mentioned, “This will be one of the unique and largest events dedicated to Guru Gobind Singhji by Government of Gujarat. He has been known as ‘Sarvanshdani’

Shakti. The River front area will be converted into a small town and will have
an AC dome made which can accommodate over 15,000 people. ‘Langar
prasad’ in a “pangat” shall be

Sardar Rajinder Singh, member of core committee said, “This
will be one of the first initiative of mega scale dedicated to spread message
of Guru Gobind Singhji who spent his entire life fighting for secular living. He
gave up on his family, his four dear sons to protect Hinduism. Picking up sword
