Punjab BJP Chief Sunil Jakhar has formally appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rename Adampur Airport in Jalandhar after Guru Ravidas. Jakhar argues that the renaming would resonate deeply with the people of Punjab, reinforcing the spiritual and emotional bonds within the community.
During his last campaign rally on May 30 in Hoshiarpur, Modi expressed his desire to rename the airport, highlighting Guru Ravidas as an inspiration for his government’s focus on the welfare of the poor. Jakhar’s letter, sent on Thursday, also commended Modi for his unprecedented third term as Prime Minister, calling it a ‘historic rare feat.’
Further, Jakhar suggested developing the area around the Guru Ravidas temple in Tughlakabad, Delhi, into a serene garden. He believes this would enhance the shrine’s appeal while preserving its layout and inspire visitors to embrace the saint’s egalitarian teachings.
