Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has paid tributes to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru on the occasion of the Shaheed Diwas today.
On this day in 1931, the three freedom fighters were hanged to death by Britishers in the Lahore conspiracy case.
Paying homage to these young revolutionaries, PM Modi tweeted in Hindi, “Tributes to the immortal sons of Mother India, Veer Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru on Martyrs’ Day. Their passion to die for the motherland will always inspire the countrymen. Long live India! “
Shaheed Diwas is observed on March 23 to pay tribute to Indian revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, who were hanged by the British Government in 1931. In 1928, the trio was convicted of murdering deputy police superintendent JP Saunders to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. When they were hanged at Lahore Central Jail, Bhagat Singh was 23, Rajguru was 22, and Sukhdev was 23.
