"Prayed at Gurdwara Sri Kirtangarh Sahib, Gumti, Kanpur. It is always special to come to a Gurdwara. The thoughts and ideals of the respected Sikh Gurus keep illuminating humanity and giving strength to millions," PM Modi posted on X.
After Delhi, Kanpur was worst hit by the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The family members of several victims have severely criticised the Congress for not punishing the perpetrators of the attacks, while at the same time, praising PM Modi for providing a healing touch.
