In Punjab's Vidhan Sabha special session, the Congress party raised concerns over the renaming of the martyrdom day of Guru Gobind Singh's younger sons from 'Sahibzadas Shahadat Diwas' to 'Veer Bal Diwas'. Congress MLA Rana Gurjit Singh argued the term 'children' distorts Sikh history, advocating for 'Sahibzadas Shahadat Diwas' and objecting to calling Banda Singh Bahadur 'Banda Bairagi'. BJP MLA Ashwani Sharma defended the commemoration, stating the sacrifice is remembered universally and is for national unity, while other parties remained silent on the naming issue.
