In its investigation, the PTI Fact Check Desk found that Prime Minister Modi didn't refer to the 'Panj Pyare' as his "uncle", but said that one of them was from Dwarka (referring to Bhai Mohkam Singh). A clipped video of PM's speech was shared on social media with false claims.
The term 'Panj Pyare' refers to a collective name given to five men - Bhai Daya Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh and Bhai Sahib Singh - by Guru Gobind Singh Ji during the historic and monumental assembly at Anandpur Sahib in the Punjab region of India on March 30, 1699.
