AMRITSAR: Giani Raghbir Singh jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib expressed deep grief over the death of exiled Bhai Gajinder Singh and said that Bhai Gajinder Singh's life is an example of piety, sacrifice and determination.
In a written statement issued by the Secretariat of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Singh Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh said that Bhai Gajinder Singh was awarded the title of 'Exile Sikh Warrior' by Sri Akal Takht Sahib in August 2020 due to spending a large part of his life on account of the panth.
He said that Bhai Gajinder Singh was a sectarian thinker and spirit, had a lofty life and a warm nature.
He always tried to keep alive the voice of the pain and rights of the cult through his pen.
He said that Bhai Gajinder Singh's religious wife had also passed away a few years ago during his exile. Bhai Gajinder Singh never compromised on his principles and commitment to the sectarian struggle despite the great loss of his life and family during the sectarian conflict.
Giani Raghbir Singh said that Bhai Gajinder Singh's sacrifice for the panth is an example in itself and his demise is a great loss not only to the family but also to the panth.
Expressing his condolences to the family of Bhai Gajinder Singh, he said that the owner of Miri-Piri, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, should grant the departed soul a home at his feet and grant the family the strength to accept it.
