New Delhi (Global News) :Shiromani Akali Dal Member of Parliament from Bathinda Harsimrat Kaur Badal today made an impassioned plea to the Government of India, asking it to name the national tribute to the sacrifice of the great Sahibzadas of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji “in a manner that it symbolises Panthic values and is in sync with the sentiments and heritage of Khalsa Panth."
She requested the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to heed the reservations of Sikhs' supreme body Sri Akal Takht Sahib and accept the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC)'s recommendation to name it as "Shabibzade Shahadat Diwas" to resonate with Sikh ethos.
Thanking the PM for personally ensuring that “a historic omission” is undone by paying a national tribute to the Chhote Sahibzadas’ sacrifice against fanaticism, religious intolerance and persecution, including forcible conversions, Ms Badal said that she and her party “fully and gratefully acknowledge the sensitivity shown by the Prime Minister in this regard.”
