Amid the recent floods in Abdullapur village, Hoshiarpur, an AAP MLA showed a remarkable act of humanity and respect for religion. When the Beas River flooded the village, MLA Jasvir Singh Raja Gill safely moved the holy Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to a secure place, following all Sikh traditions. The incident quickly went viral on social media and touched the hearts of people across Punjab. Before relocating the sacred scripture, Raja Gill performed Ardas (prayer) for the peace and well-being of the community, showing that even in natural disasters, religious respect remains a priority. AAP leaders emphasized that protecting both public safety and religious faith is their duty.
Government Accelerates Relief Efforts and Donates Salaries
Led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab government has ramped up its relief and rescue efforts, showing its unwavering support for every resident of the state. Cabinet ministers and officials are continuously visiting flood-affected areas, and the administrative machinery is working around the clock on relief efforts.
In addition, the Chief Minister, along with Cabinet Ministers and all Aam Aadmi Party legislators, has chosen to contribute one month’s salary to support those affected by the floods. This step is a testament to their emotional connection with the public and their spirit of service.
Balancing Public Safety with Religious Respect
When fields were submerged and houses were filling with water due to this natural calamity, AAP representatives showed that saving lives is not the only priority; respecting religious traditions is equally important. Among the Sikh Sangat and the general public of Punjab, the trust has deepened that their government is not only present to provide help in times of crisis but is also fully dedicated to honouring their religious and cultural values. This incident and the decision made symbolise that politics is not limited to power alone; when it aligns with humanity and religion, true ‘Rajdharma’ is established. Chief Minister Mann and his team have proven that the veins of the Punjab government run with service, faith, and the rights of the people together. The big message spreading across Punjab today is that in times of crisis, the government and the Sangat together become a true source of strength.
