PM Modi also interacted with the children honored with bravery awards this year. Addressing the school children, he said, ‘Everyone should remember the sacrifice of Sahibzadas. Sahibzade did not bow before the Mughals.
India had a glorious past
PM Modi said that today the country is celebrating Brave Children’s Day. Today we are remembering those brave gentlemen, who are the pride of our India. The sacrifice of Sahibzadas is an inspiration. India has a glorious past, what can’t a country with such a past do? Everyone should remember the sacrifice of Sahibzadas.
Sahibzade stood like a rock in front of the cruel Mughals.
PM Modi said, ‘That brave sir, who broke all the boundaries of age and condition. Who stood like a rock in front of the cruel Mughal Sultanate that shook the very existence of religious fanaticism and terror. That fight was between the basic ideas of India and religious fanaticism. Another tenth Guru of that war was Govind Singh ji, while the other was the brutal rule of Aurangzeb. Our Sahibzade was still young at that time but his cruelty did not make any difference to Aurangzeb.
Full confidence in GenZ’s skills
PM Modi said, ‘GenZ will take the country forward. I have full confidence in his skills. No one is bigger or smaller than age. Can do great work even at a young age. Today’s youth dreams and fulfills them. By 2035 the country will be free from the mentality of slavery.
