Dr. Gurpreet Kaur (wife of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann), while felicitating the newly born girl children with Lohri gifts and wishes at Bakarpur Village, stated that it is time to eliminate gender discrimination by promoting the Lohri celebrations of girls.
Participating in a Lohri function organized by MLA Derabassi Kulwant Singh Randhawa at Bakarpur, Dr. Gurpreet Kaur praised the efforts of the local MLA for sending a strong and positive message to society about the need to promote such positive changes. She mentioned that daughters are excelling in various fields nowadays, whether in education, politics, or key positions.
Applauding daughters for being supportive in every situation, she emphasized that the so-called gender inequality should come to an end. While acknowledging the changed mindset, she also stressed that there is still much work to be done.
