Sikh Council UK offered its congratulations to Jagraj Singh who was recently awarded the Points of Light Award from the Prime Minister in recognition of his voluntary work with the Basics of Sikhi and Everything’s 13 organisations which he founded.
Jagtar Singh Gill, Secretary General Elect of Sikh Council UK, said “This award was well deserved and Jagraj’s work serves as an example to all of us young and old to focus our efforts on the basics and essence of the Sikh faith which unites us and not dwell on the few differences which divide.
He added “Many will be aware Jagraj was tragically diagnosed with cancer recently despite his young age and our prayers are with him. In recognition of his work the Sikh community collectively raised over £100,000 within the space of three short hours during a Sikh television appeal recently towards his vision of an international information centre at Sri Harmandir Sahib Amritsar. This was a fitting tribute to him and our congratulations go to all involved in this endeavour.”
