New Delhi: On the anniversary of their execution, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, commemorated as Shaheed Diwas or Martyrs’ Day.
The trio of freedom fighters was executed by the British on March 23, 1931, for their relentless struggle against colonialism.
In a message shared on X, PM Modi wrote, “Today, our nation remembers the supreme sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. Their fearless pursuit of freedom and justice continues to inspire us all.”
In a video tribute, he discussed their vital contributions to India’s fight for independence, recalling a childhood story about Bhagat Singh. He recounted how, as a young boy, Bhagat Singh told his father he was sowing guns to free his country.
PM Modi emphasized that the legacy of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev lives on in the hearts of every Indian child. He quoted a Hindu shloka, stating, “‘Neither weapons can cut him, nor fire can burn him.’ These are the people who give their lives for the nation. On Shaheed Diwas, I express my gratitude on behalf of the grateful nation to all the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for our country.”
While March 23 is a somber day in Indian history, it serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the nation’s freedom fighters. It honors all who gave their lives for independence and inspires future generations to cherish and protect the hard-won freedom of India.
