Sikh Group Joins BJP in Delhi, Tarun Chugh in Attendance

A group of Sikh individuals recently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi, with the party’s National General Secretary Tarun Chugh in attendance.

The occasion was graced by the National General Secretary of the party, Tarun Chugh, alongside notable BJP figures such as Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Virendra Sachdeva, the President of Delhi BJP.

Virendra Sachdeva extended a warm welcome to the new party members and emphasized the BJP’s goal of securing victory in all seven parliamentary seats in Delhi during the forthcoming elections.

“I humbly welcome all my brothers on behalf of my party. We will win all seven seats in Delhi and fulfill the resolve to make PM Modi the Prime Minister for the third time,” Sachdeva said.

Praising the Sikh community, Sachdeva said, “Whenever we talk about the history of the Sikhs, wherever there is bravery, courage, compassion, and kindness, rest assured, there will be a Sikh behind it.”

He also underscored the significant historical contributions of the late Guru Gobind Singh.

“Late Guru Gobind Singh, who created and nurtured the Sikhs, had a mission to fight against oppression and tyranny. Their purpose is to cultivate compassion and kindness in society. Today, the entire Sikh community, united under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, is determined to make India a developed nation, contributing to the country’s progress,” Sachdeva said.

Sachdeva also praised the Sikh community for its steadfast support during times of national turmoil, remarking, “In this courageous group, whenever the nation or society faces a crisis, the Sikh community has always stepped forward to protect and save the entire society.”

Addressing the gathering, Manjinder Singh Sirsa expressed that members of the Sikh community are backing PM Modi due to a stark comparison: on one hand, there’s a troubling 55-year period where Sikhs were unjustly branded as terrorists, while on the other hand, under PM Modi’s leadership, those accountable for the Sikh massacres have been held accountable and imprisoned.

“People ask me why Sikhs are supporting Modi ji. They are supporting him because, on one hand, there’s a horrifying 55-year-long period when Sikhs were labeled as terrorists, when Sikhs were labeled as killers, and when, by using these labels, people gained power and then rewarded those who killed Sikhs by giving them positions of power. But after Modi ji came to power, those who were responsible for the Sikh massacres were put in jail, and those who loved Sikhs, Modi ji embraced them and said, ‘Without you, India’s culture and India’s identity are incomplete.’ This is Modi ji’s love,” Sirsa Said.

The voting for all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi is set to occur on May 25, as part of the sixth phase of the electoral process. The counting of votes for all seven phases of the Lok Sabha polls is slated for June 4, 2024.
