Chandigarh, October 29

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has dedicated a room in his new house to the valour of the 2nd Battalion of the Sikh Regiment (2 Sikh), in which he had served in his earlier days.

A government spokesperson released details and photos of the room terming it a museum for 2 Sikh with whom Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has an indestructible bond, that has survived three generations of his family of soldiers.

The portraits, painted by a local artist Kuldeep, capture the toils and turbulence through which those men survived to etch their name in military history. The entire room is filled with chronicles of the regiment’s history.

The spokesperson said the room literally came alive to the 2 Sikhs motto of `Nischey Kar Apni Jeet Karon’ when the Chief Minister hosted officers from his erstwhile regiment, along with their spouses, over dinner on Monday. “I love spending time with men from my regiment… and being with them in this room full of history and memories was special,” he said, clearly happy to be with the men. Among those who joined the special occasion were Col KS Chib, CO, 2 Sikhs; Col Sukhinder Singh; Lt Gen AK Sharma; and Lt Gen RS Sujlana.
