Chandigarh, 21 December 2025:
Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker S. Kultar Singh Sandhwan said that the entire Sikh community respect the Sahibzadas and given them the title ‘Babas’ because the Sahibzadas of Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji had made great sacrifices at childhood age.
However, the unique martyrdom of the Sahibzadas are not limited to one country, one community and one ideology. Speaker Sandhwan respects the sentiments of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to observe the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas at the national level.
But, naming the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas as Veer Bal Diwas is not aligned with traditions of Sikhism.We hope that the Prime Minister will take an appropriate decision with regard to naming the martyrdom day of Sahibzadas, keeping in mind the sentimens of Sikh community. In this way, the unparalleled story of martyrdom of Sahibzadas will reach in the minds of our children as well as respect for the sentiments of the nation will also be maintained, he added.
