Free bus service dedicated to the unparalleled martyrdom of the four Sahibzadas conveys a message of communal harmony
Chandigarh/ Amritsar 27 December 2025: Dedicated to the unparalleled martyrdom of the four Sahibzadas of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Gujri Ji, the “Safar-e-Shahadat” free bus service initiated from Halka North by social worker and BJP leader Akshay Sharma delivered a strong message of communal harmony, unity, and brotherhood. During the seven-day service, around 12,000 devotees reached Sri Fatehgarh Sahib and paid obeisance through a total of 150 buses. 
The religious and social initiative concluded today, with 40 buses being flagged off on the final day. Along with a large number of Sikh devotees, people from Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities also participated enthusiastically and appreciated the initiative taken by Akshay Sharma.
On this occasion, Akshay Sharma said that the objective behind starting this service was to connect today’s younger generation with the greatness of Sikh history. He stated that the extraordinary courage and sacrifice shown by the Sahibzadas for the protection of faith should not only be remembered but also deeply understood.
He informed that initially the journey was planned with a limited number of buses, but the overwhelming support from volunteers and supporters turned it into a massive initiative. Dhillon Bus Service and Aulakh Bus Service provided buses free of cost, while Shobhit Babbar supported with fuel arrangements, and many others contributed to various logistical arrangements.
Akshay Sharma said that such an unparalleled martyrdom has neither occurred in the past nor will ever occur in the future anywhere in the world. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to all devotees and volunteers who bowed their heads at the sacred land of Fatehgarh Sahib and made this humble effort a grand success.
He further said that religion teaches us mutual love, brotherhood, and standing together for one another. Today, Punjab needs unity and communal harmony to preserve its true spirit of Punjabiyat. All religions convey the message of humanity and brotherhood.
During the program, followers of Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity together offered prayers and bowed before the Almighty, seeking guidance for the youth so that they may be shown the right path and kept away from drugs and social evils, while being inspired towards service, sacrifice, and unity.
At the conclusion, a Gatka performance was presented, and amid the resonating slogans of “Bole So Nihal,” devotees were sent off to bow before Guru Sahib at Fatehgarh Sahib.
