PM Modi at Red Fort / PM Modi said on religious fundamentalism, said - Guru Tegh Bahadur stood like a rock in the storm

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday addressed the country's Red Fort on the occasion of the 400th birth anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur. PM Modi also released a commemorative coin and postage stamp on the occasion. Before the start of the program, PM Modi also bowed his head in respect to Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The Red Fort was a witness to many periods

PM Modi said, 'This Red Fort has been a witness to many important periods. This fort has also seen the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji and has also tested the courage of people who died for the country.

Gurudwara Sheeshganj reminds me of this

At the same time, the PM also said that there is also Gurdwara Shishganj Sahib, a symbol of the immortal sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, near the Red Fort. This holy Gurudwara reminds us how great was the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji to protect our great culture. At that time there was a storm of religious fanaticism in the country. There were people in front of our India, who considered religion as a matter of philosophy, science and self-research, who had committed violence and tyranny in the name of religion. At that time a great hope was seen for India to save its identity in the form of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. At that time Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, becoming 'Hind di Chadar', stood like a rock in front of Aurangzeb's tyrannical thinking.

Grand events in 2019 also

In his address, PM Modi said that earlier in 2019 we had the opportunity to celebrate the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev ji and 350th Prakash Parv of Guru Gobind Singh ji in 2017. I consider it a special grace of our Gurus.

PM also spoke on religious fundamentalism

During the address, the PM emphasized that at one time there was a storm of religious bigotry in the country, then Guru Tegh Bahadur had come forward and showed the right path to everyone. He stood like a rock in the storm of religious fanaticism. This fort has also seen the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji and has also tested the courage of people who died for the country.
