Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the national programme marking ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi today. Prime Minister will address the gathering on the occasion. Awardees of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP) will also be present during the programme. ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ is observed to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the Sahibzades – Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji – the young sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Their martyrdom, at a tender age, remains one of the most poignant chapters in India’s history, symbolising unwavering courage in the face of tyranny. The annual observance was first announced by PM Modi during the Prakash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in January 2022.
