At rally to mark nine years of Modi government, BJP blew the 2024 poll bugle; Amarinder stayed away, apparently to ensure he didn't steal daughter Jai Inder Kaur's spotlight
Modi said the Sikh gurus’ sacrifice had helped protect the country’s “civilisation and culture” from “tyrants” and “tormentors”.
“The tyrants wanted Sahibzade to renounce their faith, abandon the teachings of the great Guru tradition,” he said.
“During the immurement, as the stones began piling up, gradually raising the height of the wall. (with) death staring them in the face. they did not budge even a bit.”
Modi added that Sunday was also the anniversary of the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh’s mother, Mata Gujari.
“During this month, inspired by Shri Guru Gobind Singhji, many people sleep on the floor.. This martyrdom served towards the great deed of protecting our civilisation. and keeping the present fabric of the country intact,” he said.
