Sri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj has congratulated Southall-based Punjabi-origin Sikh Arshdeep Singh and his parents, Jagdeep Singh and Gagandeep Kaur, on the Arshdeep’s achievement of becoming Flight Lieutenant in the UK Royal Air Force (RAF).The Jathedar said it was a matter of pride that, after a long gap, a Sikh attained a senior rank in the UK’s RAF, noting that such an achievement by a Sikh had taken place after the World War-II.
He said it was even more gratifying that Flight Lieutenant Arshdeep Singh and his family, despite living abroad, remained connected with Sikh traditions and the Punjabi mother tongue.
Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj said Sikhs, by following the principles of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji—Kirat Karo, Naam Japo and Vand Chhako (Earning Honestly, Remembering True Almighty and Sharing)—had achieved prominent positions across the world. Arshdeep Singh’s achievement, he said, had made the entire Sikh community proud.
The Jathedar urged Sikh youth to draw inspiration from Arshdeep Singh and strive to achieve success through quality education and hard work. He said Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji has taught through Gurbani that one should always have the desire and make efforts to move forward in life rather than look back.
