New Delhi, May 12: Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended his greetings on ‘Sirhind Victory Day’ on Tuesday. He described Baba Banda Singh Bahadur as a true warrior dedicated to the protection of religion and a figure of unwavering detachment.
In a post on the social media platform X, Amit Shah expressed that Baba Banda Singh Bahadur exemplified steadfast loyalty to religion, complete dedication to the motherland, and extraordinary courage against injustice. He emphasized that Baba Banda Singh Bahadur organized farmers to fight against oppression and defeated the Mughals, leaving behind an eternal message of self-respect, courage, and protection of faith. Despite enduring countless atrocities, he never accepted conversion. His life will always remain an inspiration for the defense of the nation and religion.
Sukhbir Singh Badal, president of the Shiromani Akali Dal, also took to social media to state, “The victory of Sirhind under the leadership of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the end of Wazir Khan was not merely a political victory. It is a direct testament that Guru Gobind Singh Ji bestowed ‘Amrit’ upon the oppressed, enabling them to confront the most powerful and tyrannical regime of that time.”
He added, “The sacred land of Chappad Chirri, where ‘Fateh Burj’ stands, witnesses the valor of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and all the martyr Singh’s who, following the orders of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, established the rule of justice with their indomitable courage. On this auspicious occasion of ‘Sirhind Victory Day’, we pay our humble tribute to Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and all the martyr Singh’s. Congratulations to the entire community on ‘Sirhind Victory Day.'”
Former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal remarked in a post on X, “The victory at Sirhind is not just a triumph of a city or geographical area, but a victory of truth over falsehood, justice over oppression, and rights over tyranny. Sirhind Victory Day reminds us that when oppression exceeds its limits, the power of truth and faith brings it to an end. The outrage that arose within the Khalsa Panth after the heartbreaking martyrdom of the young Sahibzadas led to the writing of the saga of Sirhind’s victory. On this occasion, we pay heartfelt homage to the valor of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and all the martyr Singh’s who conquered Sirhind. Congratulations to the entire community on Sirhind Victory Day.”
