Guru Govind Singh sacrificed his Sahibzadas to protect the Sanatan tradition: Chief Minister Dr. Yadav
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Guru Govind Singh sacrificed his Sahibzadas to protect the eternal tradition of India, but he did not bow down. The sacrifice of Sahibzadas for the country and religion makes us aware of their incarnational form. The Mughals martyring young children by committing the culmination of cruelty shakes us even after centuries. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi started the tradition of celebrating the sacred memories of immortal martyrs as Veer Bal Diwas from the year 2022. To keep the memory of brave martyrs intact, the state government has also organized programs at the district level.
Kirtan was a manifestation of valour, bravery, sacrifice and compassion Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the program Sahibzaadon Ki Shahadat Gatha organized on Veer Bal Diwas at Bharat Bhavan. On this occasion, the Kirtan group presented the Shahadat Gatha of Sahibzaadon. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav appreciated the sensitive and impressive presentation of the feelings of valor, bravery, sacrifice and compassion expressed through the Kirtan. On this occasion, Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) Shri Dharmendra Singh Lodhi, MP Shri V.D. Sharma, Shri Hitanand Sharma, Shri Rahul Kothari, Ms. Neha Bagga and public representatives were present.
At the age of just 6 and 9 years, Sahibzaades sacrificed their lives to protect religion and humanity It is noteworthy that 26 December is celebrated every year as Veer Bal Diwas to pay respect to the unique sacrifice and courage of the brave sons of Guru Govind Singh Ji.

When they sacrificed their lives to protect religion and humanity, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh was only 9 years old and Sahibzada Fateh Singh was only 6 years old.
