Shaheed Udham Singh fought against lies, injustice and exploitation
Shri Naib Singh Saini, while paying tribute to the national hero Shaheed Udham Singh Ji, said that Shaheed Udham Singh Ji lost his life in the year 1940 while fighting against lies, injustice and exploitation. His sacrifice created an awakening among the countrymen for freedom. He said that history is a witness to the fact that many patriots like Udham Singh, Sardar Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Chandrashekhar Azad and Madan Lal Dhigra chose the thorny path to break the chains of slavery of Mother India and created a history of sacrifices by following it.
He said that when Udham Singh was only 20 years old, the heart-wrenching incident of Jallianwala Bagh on April 13, 1919 had a deep impact on his heart and mind. He was shocked to see that massacre and at that time, Udham Singh applied the martyrdom soil of Jallianwala Bagh on his forehead and swore that he would definitely take revenge for this massacre.
This great son fought against the imperial power on the very ground, in whose empire the sun never set, to avenge the blood of the innocent and innocent people of his motherland. He set a unique example of patriotism, sacrifice and selflessness before the countrymen, which will continue to inspire generations to come.
He said that Udham Singh avenged that bloody incident by shooting Michael O. Dyer at Captain Hall in London on March 13, 1940. On June 5, 1940, he was sentenced to death at the Central Criminal Court, Old Valley and Udham Singh was hanged at Pentonville Jail in London on July 31, 1940.
He said that like the martyr Udham Singh, many heroes had sacrificed their lives for freedom. His dream was to end the British rule in the country and ensure the welfare and upliftment of every citizen of the country. To realize his dream, the government has been striving to ensure that the aspirations of all sections of the society progress, that everyone should be uplifted and that everyone should get equal rights. In this direction, the government has taken many concrete steps to bring the benefits of development to those people who have been left behind due to various reasons.
