PM Modi Honors Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 23, 2025, honored the revolutionary freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev on Martyrs' Day by paying tribute to their sacrifice.

The three young patriots were hanged by the British colonial government in 1931 for their participation in the Lahore Conspiracy Case aimed at overthrowing British rule in India.

Modi pointed out the courage and dedication of these revolutionaries, who were all under 25 when they died. He pointed to their notable act of defiance in April 1929 when Bhagat Singh and his co-conspirator Batukeshwar Dutt hurled non-lethal bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly in protest against repressive British policies. Their goal was to raise awareness about their cause and not to inflict harm.

In a touching post on social media, Modi wrote, "Today, our country remembers the ultimate sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. Their bold quest for freedom and justice inspires us all even today."

This reminder is a testament to the lasting legacy of these martyrs and their contribution to India's fight for independence, inspiring generations to come to stand by the principles of courage and justice.
