The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, addressed the gathering of Kirtan Samagam in Lucknow on December 26. The ceremony was held in remembrance of the sacrifices of the sons of Guru Gobind Singh. The Chief Minister also praised the Prime Minister for recognising the demand of the Sikh community for dedicating the day to honour the Sahibzadas.
Sahibzades remembered on Veer Baal Diwas
Veer Baal Diwas marks the martyrdom of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh. They were the younger sons of the tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh. The two were executed by the Mughal forces after refusing to get converted to the Islam religion.
CM Yogi say about the declaration of Veer Baal Diwas
CM Yogi said, “The history of Sikh Gurus is radiant and powerful. Gurunanak Dev ji Maharaj is a light of devotion. What he did at that time for humanity without bowing and stopping showed impact, even though there were fewer means then.”
He also added, “The Prime Minister listened to the voices of Sikhs across the country and, respecting their dedication, declared December 26th as Veer Baal Diwas.”
