Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid tributes to freedom fighters Chandra Shekhar Azad, a revolutionary, and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a nationalist who advocated ‘swaraj’, on their birth anniversary.
Modi said on X, “On his birth anniversary, I pay homage to the great Chandra Shekhar Azad. He was a fearless hero, blessed with unwavering courage and commitment to India’s freedom. His ideals and thoughts continue to resonate in the hearts and minds of millions of people, particularly the youth.”
Tilak, Modi said, will always be remembered as a towering figure in India’s fight for independence.
