DELHI:- Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru on the occasion of martyrs day. He also said to salute these brave and great men have supreme sacrifice so that generations after them could breathe the air of freedom.
It was on this day that Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were executed, a few hours ahead of schedule, after the trio was sentenced to death in the Lahore conspiracy case.
He also remembered socialist leader Dr Ram Manohar Lohia on his birth anniversary and described him as “a scholar and original thinker. He inspires people across party lines.”
Modi also put out a copy of Lohia’s letter written to Mahatma Gandhi from Bareilly Central Jail on April 30, 1941 whereby he introduced one Hari Dutt Kandpal from Almora to Gandhi, saying Kandpal, who was a firm believer in non-violence, wanted to meet him after being released from jail.
