Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the sacrifice of Guru Gobind Singh's two sons was important in uprooting the Mughals from north.
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief Harjinder Singh Dhami on Sunday asked the Sikh community to observe the martyrdom day of the sons of Guru Gobind Singh as 'Sahibzade Shahadat Diwas' instead of 'Veer Bal Diwas.'
"Observing the martyrdom day of 'Sahibzadas' as Veer Bal Diwas by the government of India is a mischievous conspiracy to undermine the greatest martyrdom ... in the world's religious history," Dhami said.
"If the government really wants to pay homage to Sahibzadas, then what is the problem in observing this day as 'Sahibzade Shahadat Diwas,'" he asked.
He said that it's a historic fact that sacrifice of Guru Gobind Singh's two sons was important in uprooting the Mughals from north.
