India is indebted to Sikh Gurus, we are free country due to their supreme sacrifice, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah as he particiapted in the celebration of the 400th Parkash Purab of Guru Tegh Bahadur at the historic Red Fort.
Home Minister further said that Guru Tegh Bahadur stood out from an early age for his qualities of sacrifice and valour. He was martyred for standing up against the atrocities on Kashmiri Pandits and is respected as Hind Ki Chaddar across the globe.
Recalling how Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed for advocating the religious freedom of Kashmiri Pandits on the orders of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, Shah said - while those indulging in beheadings had gone, crores of people follow the path and remember the sacrifice of the Guru even after 400 years.
"There is no person in the country who is not aware of the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur. People from every religion respect him," he added.

"The teachings of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and all the Sikh Gurus who dedicated their lives for the protection of culture and religion are our invaluable heritage. And PM Modi is constantly working to let the young generation of the country know this glorious tradition and incorporate it in their lives," he added in another tweet in Punjabi.
