Their sacrifice for faith and humanity will always continue to pave a way for the welfare of the world," the Chief Minister said in a post on X.

He said the day honours the unwavering faith of Mata Gujri Ji and the teachings of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, which continue to inspire generations.

Their lives and ideals will continue to motivate people for generations."

To mark Veer Bal Diwas, the Government of India is organising participative programmes across the country with the objective of informing and educating citizens about the extraordinary courage and supreme sacrifice of the Sahibzades, and to honour and commemorate the indomitable courage, sacrifice, and valour of the young heroes of India's history.

As someone new to India, I find these stories incredibly powerful. The idea of a national day to remember such young heroes is beautiful. The storytelling sessions for children sound like a wonderful way to pass on these values.

Good gesture by CM Yadav. But actions speak louder than symbolic visits. We need to see real commitment to the values of sacrifice and standing up for the oppressed that the Sahibzadas embodied, in governance and policy.

The story of Mata Gujri and her grandsons always brings tears to my eyes. Their sacrifice for their principles at such a young age is unmatched. Glad to see it being commemorated at the national level. Jai Hind!

Respecting all faiths and their histories is crucial for a diverse nation like India. This seems like a positive step towards that. The poster-making competitions in schools are a great idea to engage young minds.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope the focus remains on the universal message of courage and righteousness, rather than turning it into just another political photo-op. The true tribute is to live by their ideals.
