Working religiously to make the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism’s founder Guru Nanak Dev a memorable event, the Punjab Government is mulling to convene a special one-day session of the Vidhan Sabha.
The proposed session, likely to be held in September-October, would focus completely on the Sikhs’ first guru during which no legislative work or discussion on other matters would be conducted.
For the special session, the Government is planning to invite the former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as the special guest.
A senior government official told The Pioneer that a proposal has been sent to the Chief Minister’s Office to convene a one day special session of the Vidhan Sabha.
“We have proposed that a special session to commemorate the occasion be held in which all the legislators would participate in the honour of the great guru,” said the official.
The official said that various leaders and “prominent personalities would be invited for the session who would be the special guests for the session. We have proposed Dr Manmohan Singh’s name”.
“As of now, it is just a proposal. No dates have been decided as yet. It is just that a one day session be convened to dedicate to Guru Nanak Dev’s 550th parkash purab,” added the official.
Meanwhile, the State Government has convened the State Cabinet meeting on September 2.
