Shabad Chowki Jatha of Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Krishna nagar organised a Keertan Darbar, on the occassion of Tri Centenary celebrations of the victory of Sirhind by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur. He was the Sikh general who established the First sikh state in India by avenging the martyrdom of two sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji.
Later, the imperial army attacked and Baba Banda Singh was offered to choose between Islam and death. He chose to die rather than give up his beloved faith. This is when his torture began. His baby son was placed on his lap. His son's heart was ripped out. While his heart was still beating in his enemies hand it was forced into his mouth. Banda Singh was tortured, killed and then his head was placed on a spear and paraded around for all Sikhs to witness! Today, Banda Singh Bahadur is celebrated as a great warrior and the first Sikh ruler who established the first Sikh state.
It was a very well organised programme with a massive gathering of devotees from various parts of Delhi & NCR. The Ragee jathaas included Bhai Manpreet singh Kanpuri, Bhai Baldev singh Vadala as well Bhai Mehtab singh ji. The Gurudwara committee welcomed all the visitors that included Jathedar Gurcharan singh Gatka Master, Member DSGMC as well heads of various local gurdwara bodies. Guru ka langer was distributed amongst the devotees during the programme.
