(New Delhi) Namdhari Sikhs, being a Sikh
sect; have requested the Government of India to honour Nation Saviour, Sikh
Prime Minister, Sardar Manmohan Singh with “Bharat Ratan”. In press
conference, organized at Constitutional Club, New Delhi: Namdhari Sikhs said
"S. Manmohan Singh g will be the first Kesdhari-Sikh (Sikh with hairs), to
be awarded with “Bharat Ratan” (although hairless can also be Sikhs).
Therefore, he must be honored with Bharat Ratan".
Ranbir Singh said; With the grace of Satguru Ram Singh Ji
and by the instructions of our present Guru; Thakur Dalip Singh Ji, we Namdhari
Sikhs have written several letters to the government in this respect.
S. Manmohan Singh Ji was awarded "Padam
Vibhushan" In 1987 by Government of India for his services to the
nation. He was honored with “Order of King Abdulaziz” by Saudi Arabia in
2010 and “Order of the Paulownia Flowers” by Japan in 2014.
Namdhari Sikhs have highlighted several great
achievements of S. Manmohan Singh Ji, which makes him a real deserving person
for "Bharat Ratan". Like: In 1991, becoming Finance Minister, he
rescued India from a dire situation of a bankrupt economy. The real credit
for reviving Bharat’s economy goes to S. Manmohan Singh Ji. According to
M.S.P.I.: during his tenure, independent India had the highest growth rate
of 10.08% in 2006-07. Apart from this, his government achieved significant
achievement by successfully finalizing the nuclear treaty between India and
USA. He started extremely useful revolutionary “Aadhaar Card”
scheme. His government also implemented the RTI Act, 2005, which is one
of the most effective laws in combating corruption and promoting transparency
in BHARAT's history.
To create friendly relations between India, Brazil and
South Africa, Dr. Manmohan Singh, established I.B.S.A. (India, Brazil,
South Africa) Dialogue Forum. In 2005, the MNREGA Act was passed, which
ensured economic security of poor families. Similarly, to deal with crimes
committed against the security & sovereignty of India; he established the National
Investigation Agency (N.I.A.) in 2008. "Peace Pipeline
Project" was initiated in 2009, to connect Indian subcontinent with
Iran's gas resources. In 2013, “National Health Mission” was launched to
improve maternal and child health. These initiatives strengthened Bharat's
internal policies and enhanced India's position at the international level.
Lakhwinder Singh said that B.J.P. government has made it
clear that B.J.P. respect the great personalities of India by rising above
party politics. It has honoured previous Prime Ministers ‘Narasimha Rao’
and ‘Chaudhary Charan Singh’ with “Bharat Ratan”; despite
being Prime Ministers of opposition parties. In the same way, S. Manmohan Singh
should be honored by B.J.P. with “Bharat Ratan”. He also said "as all
B.J.P. members and B.J.P. dignitaries of government: have devotion for Sikhs
Guru Ji. If B.J.P. Government, will honor S. Manmohan Singh as a "nation
Saviour Sikh Prime Minister", with “Bharat Ratan”; then
B.J.P.'s devotion and love towards Sikh religion will become clearly evident.
Ratandeep Singh again requested Government that S.
Manmohan Singh is aged and his health is not good. Therefore, by accepting the
request of Namdhari Sikhs: please honor S. Manmohan Singh during his lifetime
with “Bharat Ratan”.
In the end, Gurdeep Kaur said that no one asked us to
request for giving “Bharat Ratan” to him. Being a “Nationalist & Sikh”
present Namdhari Guru Ji, has initiated this independent thought that S.
Manmohan Singh must be honored with “Bharat Ratan”.
