Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday paid obeisance at Gurudwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib during the second day of Shaheedi Jor Mela to mark the martyrdom of Chotta sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh along with Mata Gujri ji.
 
Mann, interacting with the media persons after bowing his head at the holy place, said that this sacred land is a source of inspiration not only for the Sikhs but for the entire humanity. “Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the chotta Sahibazadas of the tenth master of Sikhs Sri Guru Gobind Singh, attained martyrdom at a tender age. Their martyrdom along with Mata Gujri ji at this pious land had since ages inspired Punjabis to fight against injustice, tyranny, and oppression,” he added.
 
“Today devotees from across the globe have converged here to pay glowing tributes to Chotte Sahibzadas for their unparalleled sacrifice in the history of the world,” he added.
 
The Chief Minister also recalled that during his stint as Lok Sabha Member, the House had paid tributes to chotta sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh ji on their martyrdom day after he had pursued the matter with then Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
 
“The entire Punjab observes this month as the ‘month of mourning’ as the chotta sahibzadas were bricked alive by the tyrant rulers during these days. The younger generations need to be made aware of this supreme sacrifice to inspire them to make selfless sacrifices for the country,” he said.
