Bhagat Singh - Forgotten hero






Is the Congress-led-UPA government still shy of honouring the martyr who had ignored the party during the freedom struggle?

Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh, a freedom fighter who sacrificed his life for the country, has been forgotten by the governments- both Union Government & Punjab Government. While Mahatma Gandhi’s Birth Anniversary is celebrated across India by the Union & State Governments and is a national holiday, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru have been forgotten. 

Why only Mahatma Gandhi’s photo is printed on the Indian currency notes? Either the Union Government doesn’t consider Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru as freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for our freedom or they have adopted partisan approach. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru are the real heroes. They gave us freedom!

However, five days before this - September 28 - is the birth anniversary of one of India's greatest freedom fighters, Bhagat Singh.

But take this year's experience, for instance. There are no advertisements, not even the customary floral tributes. Is the Congress-led-UPA government still shy of honouring the martyr who had ignored the party during the freedom struggle?
