Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder  Singh on Friday, September 3,  said that India continues to be a pluralistic country that has the unique distinction of being home to almost every faith in the world.

What was mentioned by the Punjab CM in the state Assembly is that - “India has unique cultural tradition. When we call Indianness, this is the idea of India. Our ancient texts have expressed idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ which implies - ‘world is one family’. In Sikh faith, we have the concept of ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ – ‘welfare of entire humanity’,”

He was addressing a special session to commemorate the 400th Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur at the Punjab Legislative Assembly today. He went on to say, "It was to uphold the right of people of this land to peacefully follow the faith of their choice, that Guru Sahab (Guru Teg Bahadur) gave his 'shahadat'. By doing so he set a unique example in the history of sacrificing his life." He added that "India continues to be a pluralistic country that has the unique distinction of being home to almost every faith in the world. This is what gives India its richness and cultural diversity."  A special session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly was held for the commemoration of the historic 400th birth anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur today.
