In a surprising development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi went and bowed his head at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj in New Delhi on Sunday (December 20) morning.
The prime minister paid tributes to Guru Teg Bahadur for his supreme sacrifice and also participated in the ‘ardas’.
There was also no police bandobast or traffic barriers to the common man during PM Modi’s visit to Gurudwara Rakab Ganj.
“This morning, I prayed at the historic Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, where the pious body of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was cremated. I felt extremely blessed. I, like millions around the world, am deeply inspired by the kindnesses of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji,” PM Modi tweeted.

PM Modi’s visit to Gurudwara Rakab Ganj comes on a day when the farmers’ protest against three new farm laws entered 25th day.
Meanwhile, the protesting farmers will observe ‘Shradhanjali Diwas’ across the country on Sunday to pay homage to those farmers who had died during the ongoing agitation.
It is learnt that the farmers will pay homage to the deceased at the village and block levels from 11 am to 1 pm. It is to be noted that thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, have been staying put at several Delhi border points putting pressure on the government to repeal the three new farm laws.
