�Among other teachings, Guru Nanak Dev Ji brought the fundamental beliefs of equality and vand chakko � sharing with others and helping those in need � to Sikhism,� said Horwath. �These values are also closely shared with New Democrats, and are the foundation of our friendship and partnership with the Sikh community.�
Deputy Leader Jagmeet Singh was the first turbaned Sikh to serve in the Ontario Legislature and is the first Sikh to serve as Deputy Leader of a major political party in Canada.� He was thrilled to accompany Horwath and talk to the Sikh community about the NDP at the Gurdwara visits Monday evening.
�As New Democrats, we are proud to stand in solidarity with the community as the only political party in Ontario to recognize the 1984 genocide and acknowledge the atrocities that occurred – so that they never happen again,� said Singh.� �I�m proud of our shared values of community service, generosity, and equality � and together, making our province, country and world, a better place.�
Ontario�s New Democrats have done important work with the Sikh community in recent years.� The ONDP was proud to stand with Jagmeet Singh when he officially made April Sikh Heritage Month in Ontario – so that all Ontarian’s could share in the Sikh values of Seva, the fundamentals of equality and the importance of supporting and helping our neighbours and our community.� The party continues to build relationships with the Sikh community.
guru nanak is our saviour!
