Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that December 26 will be marked as 'Veer Baal Diwas' in recognition of the brave sacrifice of the young sons of the 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh.
PM Modi shared the announcement on Twitter.
Calling it a fitting tribute to the brave souls, Modi said that Veer Baal Diwas will be celebrated the same day that Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh were sealed alive in a wall by the mughals.
"The bravery and ideals of Mata Gujri, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the four Sahibzadas give strength to millions of people," wrote Modi. "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."
