He remembered the vision of Guru Gobind Singh for a "just and inclusive society". "I bow to the venerable Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji. Guruji's message of selfless service, truthfulness, sacrifice, equality, and universal love is an abiding source of inspiration for all of us," he also said, as quoted by PTI.

Sinha outlined that on this day in 1699, Guru Gobind Singh established the "Khalsa Panth" and formalized the idea of the "Saint-Soldier" by introducing the Amrit ceremony.

Additionally, the LG paid homage to the martyrs of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, underscoring their bravery and ultimate sacrifice in the fight for independence. "The courage and supreme sacrifice of our martyrs will continue to inspire us to build the India of their dreams," he added.
