Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-

CM Nayab Singh Saini said that the austerity, sacrifice, and courage of the great revolutionary Shaheed Udham Singh will always inspire us. He recalled that Udham Singh avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by killing General Dyer on foreign soil. This act of bravery remains an everlasting inspiration for the entire nation and a beacon of patriotism.

The Chief Minister on Thursday addressed a public gathering at Sunam, the birthplace of Shaheed Udham Singh, in Punjab.

Earlier, the Chief Minister paid floral tributes at Shaheed Udham Singh Memorial.  He also planted a sapling at the memorial and visited the Udham Singh Museum, where he saw the photographs, letters, and memories associated with the martyr. He recorded his thoughts in the visitor’s book.

Later, the Chief Minister met the family members of Shaheed Udham Singh, accompanied  by Sardar Hardayal Singh, who presented him with a memorandum of their demands. Chief Minister attended a public meeting organized by BJP leader Daaman Bajwa on Sangrur Road, where Punjab BJP leaders gave him a warm welcome.

The Chief Minister said that it was an honor to visit the birthplace of Shaheed Udham Singh. He recalled that during the Baisakhi gathering at Jallianwala Bagh, General Dyer ordered the firing on unarmed civilians after blocking all exits, leading to the killing of thousands. It was then that Udham Singh vowed not to rest until he avenged the massacre.

After 21 years of perseverance, on April 13, 1940, Udham Singh shot General Dyer on British soil, avenging the massacre of April 13, 1919, and ultimately sacrificed his life for the nation. Revolutionary Udham Singh’s courage, sacrifice, and determination remain unparalleled. It is because of countless sacrifices by heroes like Udham Singh and Bhagat Singh that we live in a free India today, the Chief Minister said.

Punjab Government Failed to Deliver on Promises- CM

Speaking to reporters later, the Chief Minister said that it was a proud moment for him to pay homage to Shaheed Udham Singh at his birthplace and meet his family. Answering a question, he criticized the Punjab government for failing to fulfill the promises made to the people. The government has shown people mere illusions. Just as they misled the people of Delhi, who have now understood their reality, the people of Punjab are also realizing the same, he stated.

Shaheed Udham Singh’s family members, including Hardayal Singh and Aman, Punjab BJP’s Acting State President,  Ashwani Sharma, senior BJP leader and MLA, Arvind Khanna, General Secretary, Dayal Sodhi, Punjab BJP Secretary and event organizer, Daaman Bajwa, Sunam District President,  Amritraj Chattha, and many other dignitaries also remained  present  on this occasion.
