The governments of the time attacked this throne many times, which the Khalsa has always fought back firmly. He said that the forces that are deluded should not forget the history that even the great ones had to bow down to this throne in the end. Taking strict notice of the false propaganda being done against Sikh institutions, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj reprimanded the government that the people who are coming from outside and doing such things on social media in Chandigarh and Mohali should be stopped within 10 days. If this phenomenon does not stop, the Khalsa Panth will be strong enough to take action on its own. He said that to connect the youth and children with Sikhism, a Khalsa Waheer will be run from Sri Akal Takht Sahib to Takht Sri Damdama Sahib Talwandi Sabo on July 24 on the occasion of Miri Piri Diwas, the aim of which will be to spread the religion as well as to make people aware.
