Punjab's Congress party has objected to the central government's naming of the martyrdom day of Guru Gobind Singh's younger sons as 'Veer Bal Diwas,' arguing it distorts Sikh history. Congress leader Rana Gurjit Singh stated the sons were revered elders, not children, and suggested renaming the day 'Sahibzade Shahadat Diwas.' The Punjab Assembly paid tribute to the Sahibzadas, with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann emphasizing their sacrifice. Punjab BJP leaders urged against politicizing the discussion, noting the national remembrance of the Sahibzadas' sacrifice.
