“It’s a proud day for all of us. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to celebrate today as Veer Bal Diwas as a mark of respect for the sacrifice of the Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh. Both the younger Sahibzaadas sacrificed their lives for the sake of our country and religion,” Khattar said soon after the House assembled.
Khattar’s tribute was in the form of a poem.
