CHANDIGARH: Punjab BJP leader and party spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal has written a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging the government to commemorate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur by renaming the historic Chandni Chowk area as 'Sis Ganj'.

Also, he sought to dedicate nearby metro stations to the revered martyrs -- Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dyal -- who made the supreme sacrifice alongside Guru Teg Bahadur.

In his letter, Baliawal stated that on this sacred occasion of Guru Nanak Dev's 556th birth anniversary, he was writing with deep reverence as both a Sikh and an Indian to recall the unparalleled sacrifice of Guru Teg Bahadur -- the Hind Di Chadar, who gave his life defending the right to religious freedom and protecting humanity's conscience.
