PM Modi announces celebration of 'Veer Baal Diwas' on Dec 26 as tribute to Guru Gobind Singh's sons

 


On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that, starting from this year, December 26 will be marked as "Veer Baal Diwas" as a tribute to the courage of Sahibzades (Guru Gobind Singh's sons) and their quest for justice.

"Today, on the auspicious occasion of the Prakash Purab of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, I am honoured to share that starting this year, 26th December shall be marked as 'Veer Baal Diwas.' This is a fitting tribute to the courage of the Sahibzades and their quest for justice," tweeted PM Modi.

"Veer Baal Diwas will be on the same day Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji attained martyrdom after being sealed alive in a wall. These two greats preferred death instead of deviating from the noble principles of Dharma" he tweeted.

"The bravery and ideals of Mata Gujri, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and the 4 other Sahibzades give strength to millions of people. They never bowed to injustice. They envisioned a world that is inclusive and harmonious. It is the need of the hour for more people to know about them" read another tweet from PM Modi.

The Prakash Prab of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is being celebrated on January 9 this year. In the view of this, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has given relaxation to the devotees during the weekend curfew in Delhi, allowing them to offer prayers at Gurudwaras on Sunday.
