Advani pays tribute to Baba Jiwan Singh

Ludhiana, December 20: Former deputy Prime Minister and BJP stalwart, L K Advani, while paying rich tributes to Baba Jiwan Singh asked the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee to commemorate his martyrdom at Anandpur Sahib every year.

Advani, who was addressing the martyrdom day function of Baba Jiwan Singh here today, said the martyr had safely brought the head of Guru Teg Bahadur from Delhi and handed it over to Guru Gobind Singh.

Baba’s heroic deed was related to Anandpur Sahib, an important seat of Sikhs. His martyrdom day should be observed in this city every year.

Advani was all praise for Punjabis and particularly Sikhs and said Sikhs are recorded the most at Cellular Jail at Andaman.

Taking the suggestion, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal announced that they would observe his martyrdom day at Anadpur Sahib.
