Interacting with the media, the Chief Minister said he felt immensely fortunate to visit the revered shrine, which holds great historical and spiritual significance. He said Gurudwara Charan Kanwal Sahib is the sacred site where the Tenth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh, is believed to have undertaken rigorous penance and imparted timeless lessons of righteousness, courage and humanity to the nation and society.

CM Saini further said that the Sikh Gurus consistently worked for the welfare of society and the nation, making unparalleled sacrifices for the greater good. He urged people to serve the nation by following the teachings of the Gurus and walking on the path shown by them.
He said that getting the opportunity to visit and bow his head at such a sacred place, where Guru Gobind Singh Ji had set foot and guided society, was a matter of great fortune for him.

Responding to a question, the Chief Minister said that had the Gurus not made such sacrifices, our history would have been very different today. The Gurus struggled and sacrificed not for any one section, but for the entire society and the whole nation. Their teachings should be imbibed and carried forward. He said that from time to time he has been fortunate to visit the sacred land of the Gurus.

Replying to another question, CM Saini said that some people make irresponsible statements only to serve their political interests, which is completely inappropriate. Such language should neither be spoken nor even thought of in reference to the Gurus. Without naming anyone, he said that making such remarks by some opposition leaders is condemnable.

CM Saini then visited the ancient Shri Mukteshwar Shiv Temple (Muktidham), Chehlan, where he offered prayers and performed Jalabhishek, and sought divine blessings.
