The views were expressed in a programme organised for Govind Singh Ji Maharaj’s 350 birth year celebrations.

Despite sacrifice of his four sons, Guru Govind Singh did not deviate from his struggle to protect the nation and continue it. Shri Chouhan said that whether it is the first freedom struggle or sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, the sacrifice tradition of Sikhs continued. Sikhs faced bullets on their chest from enemies but they did not deviate from their duty. Shri Chouhan said that the celebrations would be held throughout the year in Madhya Pradesh. He said that victims of 1984 riots are left for help, the government is fully committed to provide relief to them.
BJP national president Shri Amit Shah said that no other example is found in the history as Guru Govind Singh Ji lived his life. His personality was really personality of multi-dimension. He was the greatest prestigious poet of his era. He wrote literature in many languages. Guru Govind Singh Ji got carried out work for purification of Brijbhasha. Shri Shah said that the warrior like Guru Govind Singh perhaps won’t born for thousand years. He said becoming brave is one thing and being sacrificing is another thing. The country can not forget the work the tenth Guru Govind Singh started by laying foundation of Khalsa panth for protection of the country. He worked for unity in the society. The great Govind Singh’s life would be inspiration always. Sikhs are ahead in sacrifice for the country at the border since the time of Guru Govind Singh.
