In a heartfelt homage, Sachdeva honored the Guru's unparalleled courage, selfless sacrifice, and supreme defense of human rights. This year marks the 350th anniversary of the Guru's martyrdom.

In a post on the social media platform X, Sachdeva venerated the Guru, widely known as 'Hind di Chadar' (the Shield of India), as a great saint, an extraordinary warrior, and a protector of both faith and humanity. He remarked that the Guru's austere life symbolizes an unceasing struggle against impiety, injustice, and tyranny, and serves as a profound source of inspiration for all of human civilization.
