New Delhi, Dec 27 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid rich tributes to the mother of the last Sikh preacher Guru Govind Singh ji, Mata Gujari and his four sons and Guru Tegh Bahadur who made supreme scarifies by the cruel misdemeanour of tyrants and tormentors.
In his Mann ki Baat programme, the PM said “It is a day to remember them too. On this day the sons of Guru Gobind Singh, sahibzade Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh were immured alive. The tyrants wanted sahibzade to renounce their faith; abandon the teachings of the great Guru tradition. But, our sahibzade showed amazing courage and determination even at that tender age”.
He also said that a week ago, he was blessed by an opportunity to visit Gurudwara Rakabganj to offer floral tributes and pay my obeisance to Guru Tegh Bahadur ji.
“During this very month, inspired by Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji, many people sleep on the floor. People reminisce the supreme sacrifices made by family members of Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji with immense reverence”, PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister also said that this martyrdom served as a new beacon of learning for entire humanity for the country and this martyrdom served towards the great deed of protecting our civilization.
We are indebted to this martyrdom. Once again I bow to the martyrdom of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, Mata Gujari, Guru Gobind Singh ji and the four Sahibzade. Several such sacrifices have preserved the present fabric of India, keeping it intact, he added.
