The 350th martyrdom anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib began on Saturday with Punjab Cabinet Ministers paying homage at Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib in New Delhi. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) President and Punjab Minister Aman Arora visited the historic Gurdwara to take part in the commemorations. Speaking on the occasion, he said, "To mark Guru Sahib's 350th anniversary, the Punjab Government has organised a grand event. Four Nagar Kirtan processions will be held to spread Guru Sahib's teachings, and Sikh scholars from around the world have been invited. Guru Sahib's message embodies humanity."

Earlier, Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries Ravneet Singh, addressing a high-level meeting at Rail Bhavan in New Delhi, said that Indian Railways will commemorate Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s 350th martyrdom day with due respect. According to a release by the Ministry of Railways, the initiative aims to educate the younger generation about the Guru’s teachings and sacrifices. Plans discussed include displaying Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's Shlokas at railway stations and on trains nationwide, operating special commemorative trains during the Shatabdi period, and installing Punjabi signboards at railway stations in Haryana, Patna, and Hazur Sahib.

Ravneet Singh also noted that Indian Railways values suggestions from Sikh institutions for the event, including proposals to rename Delhi Railway Station as Guru Tegh Bahadur Railway Station. Railway Board Chairman Satish Kumar assured that the suggestions would be considered to ensure the success of the commemorations.

The Haryana Vidhan Sabha unanimously passed a resolution paying tribute to Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib during its monsoon session, moved by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The Chief Minister highlighted that this year marks the 350th anniversary of the ninth Sikh Guru, known as 'Hind Ki Chaadar'. The House expressed deep reverence for Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib’s supreme sacrifice, recalling that in November 1675 at Chandni Chowk, Delhi, he laid down his life defending the freedom of faith and conscience. His devotees—Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das, and Bhai Dayala Ji—also embraced martyrdom, exemplifying courage, righteousness, and unwavering devotion.
