People from every religion respect him," he said.Amit Shah said at 13 years of age, in the historical battle of Kartarpur, the way the youngest son of Guru Hargobind Sahib confronted the Mughals with his sword, he was called Tegh Bahadur.The Home Minister said Guru Tegh Bahadur propagated the message of Gurus in the country.PM Modi will participate in the celebrations of the 400th Parkash Purab of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at Red Fort in New Delhi on Thursday at around 9:15 pm.
