| Regina Sikh community celebrated martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib Ji by donating blood. |

The Sikh Community in Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada) commemorated the Martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji by donating blood at Canadian Blood Services. The mainstream media CTV and Global news appreciated the community's contribution towards the national shortage of blood donors. It was clearly emphasized that he was martyred for Human Rights. It will be vital to share this information with wider audience to come forward and donate their blood for such an important cause. This act will also build up a positive PR for the community and showcase it in correct perspective instead of any negative stereotypes.
-------------------------------------------
Guru Tegh Bahadur’s unparalleled act of defending the principles of freedom of expression and conscience at the sake of his own life, is of utmost importance in the current world situation. Even if one does not agree with others’ views or religion, one should go a step ahead of not only respecting it but also protecting others’ freedom to practice it.
In the spirit of serving the society for those in need, the Sikh community is donating blood at Canadian Blood Services on different days at the end of November and early December.
