Newer generations of the families in Malerkotla have turned up at Singhu border
NEW DELHI: During the communal frenzy of Partition in 1947, Malerkotla was the only district in Punjab that did not see any violence. While lakhs of Punjabi Muslims chose to move to the newly created Pakistan, the people of the Muslim majority Malerkotla opted to remain in India, putting their faith in a blessing announced on their ancestor by Guru Gobind Singh. Today, the newer generations of those families are at the farmers’ protest at Singhu border, strengthening the message of Sikh-Muslim brotherhood.
Mobin Farooqi, an advocate, arrived from Malerkotla two weeks ago and is working at the langar the Muslim community has set up at the protest site. “This langar is our way of supporting our Sikh brothers and sisters. Though our scale is smaller than the others here, we feel blessed to be able to feed the people zarda and namkeen chaawal.”
