“Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh had put an end to the atrocities and gross human right violations committed against the Sikhs then. The decision of sacrificing self is not possible without the Guru’s blessing and whenever atrocities were committed on the Qaum (community/nation), Sikhs have always made history by making sacrifices”, said Advocate Dhami.
He described Panthak services of Giani Bhagwan Singh for the 'Qaum' as important.
The family members of Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh and Giani Bhagwan Singh were honoured with 'siropaos' by the SGPC president.
