Prime Minister Narendra Modi makes all efforts to honour the freedom fighters, social reformers, saints and religious leaders in one way or the other. With its aim to spread peace and harmony in the country, PM Modi has made several decisions in the interest of society.

In this regard, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met prominent Sikhs from across the country at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg.

“The delegation thanked the Prime Minister for continuously taking steps for the welfare of the Sikh Community, and especially for honouring Chaar Sahibzaade through the decision to declare 26 December as Veer Baal Diwas,” Prime Minister's Office said in a press statement adding that each member of the delegation honoured the Prime Minister with ‘Siropao’ and ‘Siri Sahib’.

Prime Minister said, “People in many regions of the country do not know about the contribution and sacrifice of Chaar Sahibzaade.”
