Haryana Assembly pays tribute to Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji on 350th martyrdom anniversary, passes resolution
PTC Web Desk: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday presented a resolution in the Assembly to mark the 350th martyrdom year of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the ninth Sikh Guru, revered as 'Hind Ki Chadar'.
The resolution, unanimously passed by the House, expressed deep reverence for Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji’s unparalleled sacrifice for the protection of faith and freedom of conscience. It recalled Guru Sahib's supreme martyrdom in November 1675 at Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, where he laid down his life defending the right to religious freedom.
The Haryana Assembly also remembered the sacrifices of Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Sati Das, who attained martyrdom alongside Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji.
Highlighting Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s deep spiritual connection with Haryana, the resolution mentioned that during his journeys, he sanctified several places in the state, including Kurukshetra, Pehowa, Kaithal, Jind, Ambala, Cheeka, and Rohtak. The sacred gurdwaras located at these places—such as Gurdwara Sri Dhamtan Sahib and Gurdwara Sri Manji Sahib in Jind, and Gurdwara Sri Sheesh Ganj Sahib in Ambala—continue to remind people of Guru Sahib's teachings and blessings.
The House gratefully remembered the courageous role of Bhai Jaita Ji, who displayed unmatched bravery by carrying Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji’s sacred head from Delhi to Sri Anandpur Sahib.
The resolution also recalled the supreme sacrifice of Shaheed Kushal Singh Dahiya of village Barakhalsa in Sonipat district. He offered his own head to mislead Mughal soldiers, ensuring that Guru Sahib’s sacred head could be safely taken to Anandpur Sahib.
The Assembly paid heartfelt homage to Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji and resolved to commemorate Guru Sahib's 350th martyrdom year in a dignified and grand manner.
