Pays Respects to Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji
Chandigarh, 26 December 2025
Commemorating the unparalleled sacrifice of the Sahibzadas, Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini visited Gurdwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib, a site deeply etched in the most poignant and inspiring pages of history. This sacred land witnessed the supreme sacrifice of the younger Sahibzadas of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji—Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji—who laid down their lives at a tender age to uphold their faith, truth, and self-respect. Veer Bal Diwas serves as a solemn occasion to remember their courage and inspire future generations.
At the historical site where the Sahibzadas were bricked alive for refusing to bow to tyranny, the Chief Minister bowed in respect and paid homage to their moral fortitude and unwavering faith. He highlighted that their exemplary courage continues to inspire humanity to remain steadfast in truth and righteousness. Conveying the message of service to religion, faith, and humanity, Sh Nayab Singh Saini also participated in sewa (voluntary service) at the Gurdwara complex.
The Chief Minister’s visit reminded devotees that true bravery is found not only on the battlefield but also in steadfastness to truth and faith. The sacrifice of the Sahibzadas reinforces that it is resolve, not age, that shapes history. On Veer Bal Diwas, Sh Saini’s tribute rekindles a sense of cultural values, moral courage, and human dignity among the younger generation.
Offer Prayers at Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Motiram Mehra
In connection with the occasion, the Chief Minister also visited Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Motiram Mehra to offer prayers. The Sahibzadas had been imprisoned in the Thanda Burj by the Nawab of Sirhind, where Baba Motiram Mehra, guided by his humanity, served milk to them despite strict restrictions and the threat of death.
Sh Nayab Singh Saini paid tribute to Baba Motiram Mehra’s selfless sacrifice, adding that it is not merely a chapter in Sikh history but an eternal message for humanity, that those who walk the path of truth and compassion are never defeated. Today, Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Motiram Mehra stands as a center of reverence, where devotees honor the timeless lesson that true religion is expressed through sharing in the suffering of others, and that courage springs from compassion rather than the sword.
