The Chief Minister said it would have given him heartfelt happiness if the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) President, Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, considered himself as a soldier of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji, but expressed concern that he instead calls himself a soldier of Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Kang said that forensic investigations by the Forensic Science Laboratories (FSL) of both Punjab and Delhi have conclusively established that the video in question was fabricated and maliciously edited to falsely accuse Delhi's Former Chief Minister Atishi of making derogatory remarks about Sikh Gurus.

Their dreams will never be fulfilled because the people of Punjab are wise and brave, and they understand the dubious character of such leaders,” he said, adding that Punjabis will never allow these forces to succeed in their nefarious designs.
