March 23 is celebrated as Martyr’s Day to pay tribute to Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, the Indian revolutionaries who were hanged by the British government in 1931.

The trio was convicted of killing Deputy Superintendent of Police JP Saunders in 1928 to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. PM Modi also remembered freedom fighter, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia, on his birth anniversary and said that his contribution to the nation will continue to inspire the countrymen.

Born in a small town of Akbarpur in Uttar Pradesh, Lohia, during the last phase of British rule in India, worked with the Congress Radio which was broadcast secretly from various places in Bombay until 1942. Lohia lost to Nehru in the 1962 general election but entered Lok Sabha in 1963 by winning a by-poll.
