NEW YORK| US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have greeted the Sikhs on Guruparab to celebrate the birth anniversary of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. In a joint statement on Monday, he said, “On this day all of us should remind ourselves that Guru Nanak’s message of compassion and unity can inspire us to move forward as individuals and as a nation. With regard to spiritual knowledge, the Guru Nanak’s education, service to humanity and moral integrity are enduring. We have also seen this reflected by Sikhs during this challenging year in America and around the world. “
Biden and Harris stated that “they are grateful to all Sikh Americans who worked continuously as activists during the epidemic and opened their gurdwaras-community kitchens to prepare, serve, and distribute countless meals to the people.” People needed it most. During racial protests we saw Sikhs of all ages marching peacefully. “
