Guru Tegh Bahadur’s sacrifice continues to guide us, says CM

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu attended a religious ceremony that commenced in Sri Anandpur Sahib today to mark the 350th martyrdom day (Shahidi Diwas) of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The Chief Minister said Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed everything to uphold faith, humanity and truth. “He laid down his life not only for Sikhism, but also for the protection of the rights of every religion and every sect. Guru Tegh Bahadur’s courage to stand firmly against tyranny continues to guide us even today,” said Sukhu.

He added that Guru Tegh Bahadur’s teachings inspire us to follow the path of mutual respect, brotherhood and tolerance. The Chief Minister said that the ninth Sikh Guru’s life serves as a beacon for strengthening unity in diversity and democratic ideals. “At a time when society needs peace, harmony and social justice more than ever, the legacy of Guru Tegh Bahadur becomes even more significant,” he said.

MLAs Hardeep Singh Bawa and Vivek Sharma were also present on the occasion.
