On the occasion of Guru Nanak's birthday, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi today underlined the message of harmony and compassion propagated by the founder of Sikhism, a message that assumes significance in the midst of "intolerance" debate.

"On Guru Nanak Jayanti, my greetings to everyone. Guru Nanak Dev's message of service, compassion and harmony inspire eternally," Modi tweeted.

The Prime Minister's message assumes significance in view of the "intolerance" debate, which has been further fueled by film star Aamir Khan's remarks that he was "alarmed" by a number of incidences and his wife Kiran Rao had wondered if they should move out of India.

Guru Nanak Jayanti also known as Gurpurab and Prakash Utsav marks the birthday of the first Sikh Guru Guru Nanak. It is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism and is celebrated by Hindus also with equal fervour.

On Guru Nanak Jayanti, my greetings to everyone. Guru Nanak Dev's message of service, compassion & harmony inspire eternally.

There's one person I recognise on there, he got quite famous on YouTube ? For the wrong reasons " tanu pata jad main Bol reha cup nu taa taa Mari jandi a " . Sorry ji, but that's the only reason I know who he is, but looks like he's famous again for the wrong reasons. ?

You really think that Sikhs would really want someone like Manmohan Sio to represent them? (He's a puppet to the Nehru/Gandhi clan).

I don't like Modi etc etc but GURU NANAK NIRANKAAR is JAGAT GURU! Hindu, Musalmaan NIVIAHA!

It does not matter at all.

We are seeing what he or his government have done for Sikhs.

Such token gestures are just a way to try and fool community or feign respect for diversity.
