New Delhi, Nov 23 - The martyrdom day of Guru Teg Bahadur, to be observed Friday, is an occasion to remember the greatness of the sacrifice of the Sikh guru, said President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Thursday.
In a message on the eve of the martyrdom day, Kalam said: 'The life, teachings and martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur form a message of ever-lasting significance of oneness of all humankind, service and secularism. Guru Teg Bahadur sacrificed his entire life for the welfare of the deprived and the needy.'
