December 26 Shall Be Marked As ‘Veer Baal Diwas’: PM Modi On Parkash Purab Of Guru Gobind Singh

“This is a fitting tribute to the courage of the Sahibzades and their quest for justice,” Prime Minister Modi said.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the auspicious occasion of the Parkash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh on Saturday announced that December 26 shall be marked as ‘Veer Baal Diwas’.

“This is a fitting tribute to the courage of the Sahibzades and their quest for justice,” Prime Minister Modi said.

“Today, on the auspicious occasion of the Parkash Purab of Sri 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,” he tweeted.

Remembering Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, Prime Minister Modi said ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ will be on the same day when these “two greats” preferred death instead of deviating from the noble principles of dharma.

“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,” Prime Minister Modi tweeted.

“The bravery and ideals of Mata Gujri, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 4 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,” he wrote on the micro-blogging platform.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi greeted the people on the occasion of Parkash Purab.

“Greetings on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. His life and message give strength to millions of people. I will always cherish the fact that our Government got the opportunity to mark his 350th Parkash Utsav. Sharing some glimpses from my visit to Patna at that time,” he tweeted sharing the pictures of his visit.
