“Blessed is the land which has given birth to a great leader like Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh. I’m extremely happy to smear the soil of this sacred land on my forehead” wrote an emotionally surcharged Chief Minister in the visitors book at the ancestral house.
During his visit the CM said he is blessed to have visited this sacred land for paying tributes to the iconic martyr who laid down his life at the altar of the national freedom struggle.
Channi said he will leave no stone unturned for realising the dream of Shaheed-e-Aazam Bhagat Singh. Mr Channi said that the nation will always be indebted to this martyr who sacrificed his
life at a young age of 23 years for emancipating the country from the clutches of British imperialism.
The CM said martyrdom of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at a young age had motivated the youth to join the national freedom struggle thereby leading to independence of the country.

Mr Channi also called upon the youth to follow the footsteps of Shaheed Bhagat Singh to make India a progressive and prosperous country.
