The government will celebrate the 350 th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh across the country and has earmarked Rs. 100 crore for events related to the occasion.
Addressing a function to commemorate 300 th anniversary of martyrdom of Sikh general Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said a high-level national committee will chalk out an elaborate plan.
The Punjab government will also contribute for the event.
“Commemoration of the historical events will connect future generations with our roots. Those who forget history can never create history…so, if we celebrate 300th, 350th or a centenary, all these events connect us with the great and historical traditions,” he said.
Incidentally, the AAP government in Delhi had recently named the Barapullah bridge after Baba Banda Singh.
