PM Modi to Attend 'Veer Baal Diwas' Event on Dec 26 at New Delhi's India Gate
News 18The Union government is set to organise an event on “Veer Baal Diwas” at India Gate in the national capital on December 26 in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be present. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister had declared that December 26 should henceforth be declared as “Veer Baal Diwas” to pay homage to the courage of the ‘Sahibzades’, the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh, the last Sikh guru. While all four sons of Guru Gobind Singh were martyred, the date has been chosen as it was the day observed as the martyrdom day of the ‘Sahibzadas’ — Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh, who were killed at a young age of six and nine in Sirhind by Mughal forces. BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa told IANS, “This will be a historic first time event on ‘Veer Baal Diwas’.
