Amid Punjab floods devastation, AAP MLA saves Guru Granth Sahib with dignity, government pledges one-month salary

Punjab News. When floodwaters engulfed Abdullahpur village in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur district, residents struggled to save their homes and lives. In the midst of this chaos, Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Udmur, Jasvir Singh Raja Gill, performed an act that deeply moved the Sikh community. He carried the sacred scripture of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to safety with utmost reverence and respect. Before removing the holy scripture, the congregation offered prayers, seeking peace and strength. The moment was captured and quickly went viral on social media, spreading a wave of devotion and solace across Punjab.

Respect for religious decorum

Even when the water of the Beas river was filling the houses and streets of the village, there was no compromise on the dignity of the Guru Sahiban. MLA Raja Gill showed that even in the fury of nature, the protection of religion and tradition comes first. People say that this incident is not just an example of religion, but also of humanity. The villagers said that this scene proved to give them courage and hope in difficult times.

Big decision of the government

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced that he, his cabinet and all the Aam Aadmi Party MLAs will donate their one month's salary to the flood relief fund. He says that this is not the time to show politics but to serve. He said that the soil of Punjab always stands united in times of crisis. The public appreciated this step and said that this has strengthened the trust between the government and the public.

Emotional wave on social media

As soon as the video of the safe removal of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji came on social media, an emotional wave ran across Punjab. People started writing that this is the real Rajdharma. Someone said – When humanity and religion come together, every difficulty becomes easy. This incident touched the hearts of not just one village but the entire Punjab.

Relief operations on the ground

The government and administration have also stepped up relief and rescue operations. Officers and ministers are on duty round the clock. Medical teams are being sent to villages and food items are also being delivered. The condition of farmers is the worst because their entire crop has been submerged in water. But the government has assured that no one will be left alone.

Opposition's statement too

Opposition parties said that the government should go beyond mere announcements and provide real help. They say that the loss of farms and houses should be compensated immediately. But at the same time, the opposition also praised the MLA's move and said that saving religion and humanity is a much bigger task than politics.

Faith grows stronger among Punjab’s people

 The people of Punjab believe that when the government and citizens stand united during adversity, no calamity can break them. They are confident that Punjab will once again rise with resilience, just as it has in the past. An elderly villager remarked, “If life is protected, everything else can be rebuilt. But the true legacy is to keep the spirit of faith and humanity alive forever.”
