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.

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.
