Modi declares 26 December as ‘Veer Baal Divas’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that, as a tribute to the 10th Sikh guru Gobind Singh's four sons who were executed by the Mughals, December 26 starting this year will be observed as "Veer Bal Diwas"
PM Modi's announcement came on the day of the birth anniversary of the Sikh guru and is a fitting tribute to the courage of the "sahibzades" and their quest for justice.
The PM Narendra Modi-led government in India has been taking a number of measures to reach out to the Sikhs, a community which was perceived to be upset with the ruling BJP after three farm reform laws were enacted. It is to be noted that the prime minister recently also announced the repeal of the laws.
Modi has said that "Veer Bal 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. He added that these two greats preferred death instead of deviating from the noble principles of Dharma. 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.
