Ottawa, ON – The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, released the following statement on Bandi Chhor Divas:

“On Bandi Chhor Divas, Sikhs in Canada and around the world honour the remarkable courage of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji’s fight for freedom, justice and human rights.

“Millions will celebrate as Gurduaras and homes are lit up with Diyas and candles to commemorate his release from imprisonment, along with his unwavering commitment to freeing fifty-two others.

“Generations later, the same spirit of freedom and faith continues to inspire Sikhs here in Canada, who continue to selflessly offer charity and host Langars for their communities. 

“As Sikhs celebrate their sixth Guru, we reaffirm our shared dedication to standing against tyranny and injustice and protecting freedom for all. May all those participating today enjoy peace, happiness and prosperity.

“Happy Bandi Chhor Divas! Bandi Chhor Divas di lakh lakh vadhaiyan!”
