Guwahati, Jan 19,
Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) reiterates its appeal to the people of Assam and northeast India to hoist the National flag as in every localities a mark of tributes to the martyrs of our Freedom Struggle and also respect to the Indian constitution on the
forthcoming Republic Day.
The forum pointed out that a number of martyrs from Assam including Kanaklata Barua, Mukunda Kakoti, Kushal Konwar, Tilak Deka, Bhogeswari Phukanani, Nidhanu Rajbangshi, Kamala Miri, Lerela Boro, Madan-Rauta, Hemoram Patar, Gunabhi Bordoloi, Dayal Panika with many others laid down their lives for the honour of the Tri-colour.
Prior to India’s independence, the freedom fighters symbolically set 26 January as our independence day and continued their struggles as well as sacrificed. Every Indian should pay homage to the martyrs of our freedom struggle on both Republic & Independence Day by hoisting the Tri-colour as it symbolises the suffering and sacrifices of our freedom fighters, it
added.
PPFA maintained that without showing respects to those freedom fighters, one should not cry demanding various constitutional rights.
Moreover, the forum clarified that the Tri-colour does not belong to the government machinery alone, but it’s a priceless property for over one billion Indians which reminds us our immediate glorious past.
