Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that Sikh gurus have taught Indians to live for the glory of their land and served as an inspiration to make the country better and developed.
The PM was speaking at a “Veer Bal Diwas” event to commemorate the martyrdom of two sons of Guru Gobind Singh. “Veer Bal Diwas” is a symbol of the resolve to do anything to protect Indianness, the prime minister said in his tributes to the two “Sahibzadas”.
Modi said their sacrifices are not only being remembered in India but also globally through programmes in countries like the US, Australia and New Zealand.
The PM further said his government has a clear vision and roadmap to fulfil the unlimited dreams of India’s youngsters, irrespective of the region and society they were born in.
He also exhorted youngsters to give top priority to their health, saying when they are fit, they will be “super hit” in their careers and life. the PM asked them to stick to a good diet, opt for digital detoxification and shun the use of narcotics. Further, he appealed to religious leaders and social organisation to launch a movement against drugs.
