Posting on the social media platform Baba Banda Singh Bahadur was a recluse at heart and an indomitable warrior for the protection of religion.

Despite suffering countless atrocities, he did not accept conversion. His life will always remain an inspiring force for the protection of the nation and religion.
Posting on the social media platform, Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal wrote, “The conquest of Sirhind by the Khalsa under the leadership of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the end of Wazir Khan, was not just a political victory.

“‘Fateh Burj’, situated on the sacred land of Chappar Chiri, is a witness to the bravery of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Ji and all the martyred Singhs, who, following the orders of Kalgidhar Patshah Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, established the rule of justice with their indomitable courage. On the auspicious occasion of ‘Sirhind Fateh Day’, we pay our humble tribute to the bravery of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and all the martyred Singhs. Congratulations to all the Sangat on ‘Sirhind Fateh Diwas’.
