Speaking at the event, Dhami said that the Sikh community made an essential contribution to the country's development.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi several projects were inaugurated including the ropeway facility for Sri Hemkund Sahib which was among the Navratnas of Uttarakhand, the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA) registration facility for Sri Darbar Sahib, the abolition of the tax in langar as well as the inauguration of the Kartarpur Corridor.
Dhami further added the BJP's "double-engine" government was working towards empowering the Sikh youth by offering them skills training and providing them with new opportunities through welfare schemes.
