We really do have everything to offer India that India needs. I'm so pleased that a prime minister is here, it's a great honour for the South Asian community."
       
       
       
       
      Addressing the audience at the Gurudwara, PM Modi said, "My relationship with you all is a blood relation. Because one of the "Panj Pyare" of  Guru Gobind Singh came from Gujarat. 
       
       
       
       
      "Sikh culture laid the foundation of love & sacrifices We are people who know how to "give". If Canada respects India its because of all the Indians staying here"
       
       
       
      Recalling all the sacrifices made by brave Punjabis Modi said, "Bhagat Singh inspired so many Sikh youngsters who devoted their lives to the freedom struggle. Wherever we are, we should strive to do things that bring pride to our nation.
