Obama greets Sikhs on Guru Nanak Jayanti

November 28, 2012 22:16

US President Barack Obama today greeted the Sikh community on the birth anniversary of Sikhism's founder Guru Nanak Dev, as he remembered the innocent lives lost in a Wisconsin Gurdwara shooting early this year.

"I send my best wishes to all those here in America and around the world who are observing the anniversary of birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Sikh guru," Obama said.

"As always, this is a time to celebrate the principles of equality, respect, service and interfaith cooperation that are the core of the Sikh faith, and to recognize the extraordinary contributions that Sikh Americans make to our country everyday," he said in his message on the occasion.
