Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended the state-level workshop of 'Hind-di-Chadar Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji 350th Shaheedi Sammelan' in Mumbai on Saturday, marking the beginning of commemorative events dedicated to the 350th martyrdom anniversary of the Ninth Sikh Guru.

Speaking at the event, CM Fadnavis highlighted that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji laid down his life to protect people of all faiths, earning him the title of “Hind Di Chadar.” He opposed forced religious conversions, thereby safeguarding India’s culture and spiritual faith. “It is our collective responsibility to take the story of his martyrdom to every household in the state,” the Chief Minister said. He added that various programs have been organised across Nanded, Nagpur, and Mumbai, with efforts underway to spread the Guru’s message to every village and town through tehsil, city, district, and regional committees.
