PM Modi attends the Shabad Kirtan organised in Delhi to commemorate "Veer Bal Diwas"

At a ceremony held to commemorate the "Veer Bal Diwas" on Monday at Major Dhyan Chand Stadium in the nation's capital, Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated.

The event is being held in honour of Mata Gujri Ji, the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, and his four sons (Sahibzade).

PM Modi attended the about 300 Baal Kirtanis' "Shabad Kirtan."

A march-past by some 3,000 kids will later be started by PM Modi in Delhi, according to an official statement from the PM's office.

On January 9, 2022, the day of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Prakash Purab, Prime Minister Modi said that December 26 will be observed as "Veer Baal Diwas" in honour of the bravery of the "Sahibzades," the four sons of the last Sikh guru.

Although all four of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's sons were killed, this day is remembered as the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh, who are said to have been killed by Mughal troops in Sirhind (Punjab) when they were only six and nine years old on the orders of the ruling Aurangzeb.
