Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday 24 November urged residents to visit the Red Fort, where the government is holding a three day commemoration of the three hundred and fiftieth martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur. The event began on Sunday and includes cultural and spiritual programmes honouring the Sikh Guru.
In a post on X written in Hindi, the Chief Minister said Guru Tegh Bahadur’s supreme sacrifice was made “for the protection of faith, freedom and humanity”. She added, “The unparalleled sacrifice of Guru Sahib inspires us to remember that protecting truth, justice and religious freedom is the highest duty of human life.”
Officials said the programme aims to highlight the Guru’s legacy of courage and compassion, and to encourage people of all communities to participate. The event will continue at the historic Mughal fort for the remaining two days.
