Chandigarh, Dec 21: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday said that the party would be observing December 26 as the “Veer Bal Diwas” nationwide in the memory of Baba Jorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the two sons of the tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
He said the party all across the country would be holding special meetings at the mandal level to pay homage to the two sons of the Guru Sahib. Besides, the BJP would organise “prabhat pheris” and seminars to deliberate on the sacrifice of the two “sahibzadas”, he added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022 had declared December 26 as “Veer Bal Diwas” as a mark of respect to the two “Sahibzaade”.
Chugh recalled how the prime minister has been paying his respect to the Sikhs by taking various measures which included the initiative to open the corridor for Karatarpur Sahib gurdwara and ensuring punishment of those who perpetrated the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
“The entire nation would pay homage to Guru Gobind Singh Ji as we all are indebted to the sacrifice made by the Guru Sahib and his sons,” he added.
