Veer Bal Diwas: Dr Abhijeet Jasrotia hails supreme sacrifice of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s sons

Jammu, Dec 27: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson for Jammu and Kashmir, Dr Abhijeet Jasrotia on Friday highlighted the unparalleled sacrifice of the Sahibzades, the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, for the cause of Dharma.
This week-long observance, designated as Rashtriya Diwas, paid tribute to the extraordinary courage of Baba Fateh Singh Ji (6 years old) and Baba Zorawar Singh Ji (9 years old) during Aurangzeb’s rule.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP office marking the conclusion of Veer Bal Diwas, Dr Jasrotia said that the sacrifice made by Guru Gobind Singh Ji—who gave all four of his sons for humanity and righteousness—remains unmatched in history. “No other example exists where a father sacrifices his entire lineage to uphold the dignity and faith of others,” he said.
Another BJP spokesperson, Advocate Purnima Sharma highlighted the contributions of Mata Gujri, the grandmother of the Sahibzades, saying her sacrifices as a wife, mother and grandmother symbolise resilience and devotion to Dharma. “Her legacy, alongside Guru Tegh Bahadur and her grandsons, stands tall against Aurangzeb’s tyranny,” she added.
Dr Jasrotia elaborated on the integral role of Sikhism in protecting Dharma, saying that the eldest son in Hindu families is often dedicated to Sikhism.
The week, according to the statement, was marked by various educational and cultural initiatives nationwide, with participation from over 15 lakh schools, 97 lakh teachers, 26.44 crore students and 44,000 colleges and universities. Exhibitions celebrating the Sahibzades’ courage were showcased at 137 airports, seven railway stations, 67 petrol pumps, and Indian embassies worldwide.
“This initiative by the BJP government ensures the global dissemination of the Sahibzades’ message of selflessness and sacrifice for humanity,” Dr Jasrotia asserted.
Senior party leader H.S. Pummy and BJP Minority Vice President Advocate Jasmeet Kour Pandey were also present at the press conference. They reiterated the BJP’s commitment to promoting and preserving the legacy of the Sahibzades as a source of inspiration for future generations.
