Modi highlighted the government's decisive actions, including reopening the 1984 riot cases and forming a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to address these historical grievances.

Addressing the challenges faced by Sikh families, Modi detailed his administration's efforts. These included repatriating sacred copies of the Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan, simplifying Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) and visa regulations, and removing thousands of blacklisted Sikh names.
