The Hindu
Terming this gesture as a humble tribute by the Punjab Government to Guru Ravidas, Mr. Channi said Guru Ravidas made tireless efforts for bringing social awakening through ethos of equality and harmony
Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said on January 4 that his Government is ready to bear the entire expenditure for acquiring land for the construction of Guru Ravidas Temple at Tughlakabad in New Delhi.
On the orders of the Supreme Court, the Ravidas Temple in Tughlakabad was demolished in August 2019. But later the apex court allowed the reconstruction of the temple.
Devotees say that Guru Ravidas visited this place in 1509 during the reign of Sikander Lodhi.
