Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid heartfelt tributes to iconic freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar on the occasion of Shaheed Diwas, commemorating their martyrdom and enduring legacy in India’s freedom struggle.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “Today, we bow in reverence to the brave sons of Bharat Mata, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. Their martyrdom for the nation remains etched in our collective memory. At a young age, they displayed extraordinary courage and an unshakable commitment to the cause of India’s freedom.”
“Undeterred by the might of colonial rule, they chose the path of sacrifice with conviction, placing the nation above their own lives. Their ideals of justice, patriotism and fearless resistance continue to ignite the spirit of countless Indians,” he added.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev were members of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association and played a pivotal role in revolutionary activities against the British rule.
On March 23, 1931, they were executed by British authorities in Lahore Jail, an event that galvanized the Indian freedom movement and cemented their status as enduring symbols of sacrifice and patriotism.
