Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday marked Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, paying tribute to those who suffered during the Partition and recalling the courage of people who rebuilt their lives despite immense loss and displacement. In a post on X, PM Modi said: “Today we mark Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
I pay my respectful homage to all those who lost their lives in this catastrophe and to those who struggled against the atrocities.” This scar of the country’s partition, which is a gift from the Congress, will never be forgotten by history. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also remembered the victims of Partition and described August 14, 1947, as one of the most brutal chapters in history. In a post on X, Shah said: “The day of 14 August 1947 stands witness to one of the most brutal chapters in history, in which millions of people had to lose their lives enduring inhuman suffering, and tens of millions were forced to abandon their homes, property, and loved ones and become displaced.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also paid tribute to those who lost their lives during Partition and said the event was not merely a division of geographical boundaries but also a breaking apart of families, relationships and emotions. It was also a shattering of the dreams, relationships, and emotions of countless families. In a post on X, Yogi Adityanath said: “The Partition of 1947 was not merely a division of boundaries.
“Through Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, the Modi government is reaching the memories of this tragedy to the youth, so that the forces seeking to divide the country again can never succeed and ‘Ek Bharat Shreshta Bharat'(One India, Excellent India) becomes our supreme goal,” he added.
