While I appreciate the gesture, I hope such observances are backed by genuine, year-round efforts to promote communal harmony and protect the rights of all minorities. Actions speak louder than symbolic visits.

Good initiative by the PM to declare this day. Our history is full of such bravehearts and their stories need to be told to the younger generation through these essay competitions and events. Jai Hind!

The participation of leaders from different parties at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is a positive sign. We need more of this unity in our political discourse. The message of the Gurus is for everyone.

Honestly, sometimes these events feel like photo-ops during election season. I wish the focus was more on the teachings and less on which politician was present. The Sahibzadas' legacy is much bigger than politics.
