Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday visited the historic Sri Harmandir Sahib, Durgiana Temple and Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal (Ram Tirath) to pay his obeisance.

He said it was a gratifying experience for him to visit the holy shrines, which were a fountainhead of peace for millions of people from around the world.

Singh said he and his colleagues wished to express their gratitude to the Almighty for their resounding victory in the recent Punjab assembly elections.

He said they had come to these temples to pray for the state, and its peace and development, for which his government was fully committed.

Accompanied by his cabinet colleagues and other Congress MLAs and MPs, the Chief Minister also visited the Jallianwala Bagh to pay his tributes to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives at the altar of the nation's freedom struggle, an official spokesman said.

An emotional Singh said the memories of those martyrs will always remain a source of inspiration for the people of India.
