Victoria, Nov 25 . The Victorian Sikh Gurduaras Council organised a Nagar Kirtan on 19 November 2022 on the eve of 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev . Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews supported the cause with the Victorian elections round the corner.
Victorian Sikh Gurduaras Council or VSGC is an organisation that represents seven Sikh Gurduaras in Victoria.
For the 550th Prakash Parv (Birthday) of Guru Nanak Dev (First Sikh Guru), VSGC organised a Nagar Kirtan and Humanity Walk in 2019 to showcase the Sikh cultural value and bring together Australian multifaith communities.
After the pandemic disruption, this was the first big event for VSGC and in an election year Dan Andrews’ Victorian government came out to support the Sikh community by giving a generous grant.
Although it was a religious event the Sikh community was left surprised by the presence of Khalistani extremist group members with Khalistani flags, booklets and T-shirts distributed and displayed.
The Khalistani flag bearer was Amritvir Singh, who was seen with a number of supporters from Melbourne. Its important to know that in the upcoming elections Amritvir Singh will be working as Labor party’s booth manager for Victorian MP Pauline Richards who is in a tough electoral battle against Jagdeep Singh, a Sikh himself , contesting from the Liberal Party.
