In memory of the struggles and sacrifices of our people, 14th August will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday. The day coincides with Pakistan’s Independence Day.
“Partitions pains can never be forgotten. Millions of our sisters and brothers were displaced and many lost their lives due to mindless hate and violence. In memory of the struggles and sacrifices of our people, 14th August will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day,” PM Modi said.
He further said, “May the Partition Horrors Remembrance Day keep reminding us of the need to remove the poison of social divisions, disharmony and further strengthen the spirit of oneness, social harmony and human empowerment.”
PM Modi had earlier invited suggestions and ideas from people for his Independence Day speech. “Your thoughts will reverberate from the ramparts of the Red Fort. What are your inputs for PM @narendramodi’s speech on 15th August? Share them on @mygovindia,” PM’s Office had tweeted.
Soon after, Twitterati began posting their thoughts. “Declare a mission program to vaccinate all teaching & non-teaching staff in schools. Children are the future & they need peer interactions, they need to meet in person, they need to be back in schools. That’ll be your biggest gift to the future!” wrote Twitter user Sumeet Mehta.
Another Twitter user Akash Singh wrote, “Dear Prime Minister Sir. Population explosion is becoming a major problem in India. In the coming few years, the population of India will be 150 crores. Hon’ble Prime Minister is requested to say something on population explosion from Red Fort on this Independence Day.”
