The Akal Takht Jathedar said that the previous governments had given a slogan ‘hum do hamare do’ to the people of the country which was followed by Sikhs.

He said that as a result of the above call and policy of the government, the number of Sikhs has gone down heavily and it making an adverse impact on the progress of Sikh community, the state and the country.

The Jathedar told media persons that the number of Sikhs was very high at the time of Guru Nanak Sahib which has been going down regularly.

He said that it was time to shun the slogan ‘hum do hamare do’ and adopt the slogan ‘hum do hamare chaar’.

The Jathedar said that the above approach was in the benefit of the Sikh community. He said that it would take the ‘Qaum’ ahead in Religion, Politics and would also be good for the future of the Sikh families, the community, the state and the country.
